Long, long, long before Covid, I used latex gloves and neoprene (100 for 2.99), they were cheap. Sometimes I cut the fingers off. Stretched over the cross member and pinned with the dog at the reinforced cuff. They worked fine (check the ones with powder in/on the lining, it should be cornstarch don't know about talcum) but I went back to the waxed paper for the cost and ease of pull from the roll and tear what I want. My experience......................... the mike

A guy I used to trap near used them for years. I experimented with them and many different types of screens and home made ‘under-all’s’. In the end, when I finally committed to trapping coyotes, I went to steel screen or galvanized stiff screen pan covers and that’s all I use now.

I always found the latex had an odor. I figured if I could smell it, so could everything else. For under-alls, I’ve used pipe wrap and sill sealer types of insulation. Both worked well to keep the dirt/sand from getting under the pans.

I would think the cost would be to much for me. I use quilting poly fill, comes in gauged thickness about 1/2”-3/4” thick four feet wide a yard goes to about 300 sets. Maybe $5 , coyotes and coons will destroy it but who cares at the cost of them. I cut them about 2-1/2 “ square fits 1.5 traps up to my Duke 650 pro’s

I have no experience but Trapper J uses them religiously and he catches just as much as guys who run other options.
