Sliding gloves are used for multiple types of sliding. Some slides do not require gloves. First find a heavy duty pair of gloves for $10-$25 at any hardware or clothing store. Sliding glove have pucks stuck to them to make it slide easliy, I used corian countertop material for the pucks (I went to Menards and got 5 samples for free, they were very nice and I asked and they said that they no longer carried it, but they still had samples from when they did), You could use any other strong material that slides easily.
It needs to be at least 1 inch long for the finger or thumb pucks, or 2-3 inches for the major big palm pucks. Once these are in your possession cut them to the right dimensions. To attach these pucks to the robust gloves you will need to either use industrial grade velcro (if they need to be replaceable or removable), or it could be glued on. BEWARE if velcro is used the pucks may fall/tear off, so verify the velcro used is industrial grade or very high quality! (I do not recommend velcro!) You may only use 1 sliding glove, or 2 gloves; it all depends on what type of slide you do.
