Talmud for Kelim 26:3

כַּף לוֹקְטֵי קוֹצִים, טְהוֹרָה. הַזּוֹן וְהַבִּרְכְּיָר, טְמֵאִין. וְהַשַּׁרְווּלִים, טְמֵאִין. וְהַפְּרַקְלִימִין, טְהוֹרִין. וְכָל בֵּית אֶצְבָּעוֹת, טְהוֹרוֹת, חוּץ מִשֶּׁל קַיָּצִין, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁהִיא מְקַבֶּלֶת אֶת הָאוֹג. נִקְרְעָה, אִם אֵינָהּ מְקַבֶּלֶת אֶת רֹב הָאוֹג, טְהוֹרָה:

A glove of thorn-pickers is pure [i.e. insusceptible to impurity]. A [leather] belt or knee-guard is [susceptible to being rendered] impure. And [leather] sleeves are [susceptible to being rendered] impure. And hand-coverings are pure [i.e. insusceptible to impurity]. And all finger-coverings are pure, except one of thorn-pickers [alternatively: pickers of Summer fruit], since it can [be used as vessels to] hold the sumac berry. If it was torn, if it cannot hold the majority of a sumac berry, it is pure [i.e. insusceptible to impurity].
