There is a specialty glove for the skateboard crowd called a 'Slider Glove'.

While the metal protection is outside the glove, these may be a solution.

As an alternative, the gloves used by fencers stringing barbed wire may work, but they are pretty stiff and are sort of uncomfortable.

Would the kevlar gloves worn in meat packing plants work for you?

Gloves are also made of fine chain-mail, to prevent cuts in butchering facilities, for instance.

If there were a possibility of hypodermic needles then chain mail wouldn't help. The thimble idea sounds reasonable.

I can see the problem, armour required along with flexibility. But how to achieve it?
