Good

Makes hand sweat

Rips at the slightest. What a waste of money

When I was a young lad I went to sea as an engineer. It seems like a long time ago now for sure. Anyway, a ship carries a lot of unpleasant chemcials and oils and Shell Tankers was just entering the era of HSE and seafarers joining in. As such we had on board the starting point for protective equipment. Latex gloves for light use and heavy rubber chemical gloves for the things that would kill you. No-one bothered with the latex gloves because two seconds in oil or fuel and they dropped off your hands.Then along came nitrile gloves and the very rapid reduction in dermitus on ships. Honestly, back in the 80's these things had us looking on in awe at smoko in the engine control room. Thin, protective gloves that didn't melt in gasoil and oil? Amazing.So, we used them to stop us having terrible skin problems.And now, these once very expensive things are available to all for not much money even as a home gamer. I always have a box of these around for DIY jobs such as painting or when messing around in my workshop with engines. Getting a free box to test is even better. Happy days.So, the nitrile bit is well known. They pretty much protect you from most everyday chemicals and oils you will come across in normal life. Ideal if you are painting and don't want to spend half an hour afterwards cleaning your hands with an old bog brush and washing powder. Great in the garden if its wet too. Put them on under the leather gloves and your hands stay dry and therefore warmer.These are of course branded and because of that are stronger than the really cheapo stuff I normally buy. Quite thick nitrile that will stand up to a bit of abuse which is useful.Fit is good. I have mid sized hams for a bloke and these fit nicely. Tight enough to not flap around but not so much that they get damaged being pulled on.Overall a superior type of nitrile glove that should be under every sink or in every tool box.

For anyone looking for protective, disposable gloves, these are probably some of the best which you are likely to be able to buy. Being strong, they are less likely to rip or tear when putting them on or in use.They are designed to an AQL (Acceptable Quality Limit) of 1.5, which effectively means than less than 1.5% of the gloves in any batch should be faulty. They are also designed to protect against penetration of certain hazardous substances however, that is unlikely to be of great concern, unless you are working with hazardous substances.As a final point, many disposable gloves come with a powder to help with putting them on and which leaves a residue on your hands after taking them off. However, these gloves are powder free and it doesn't seem to present any significant downsides.

Use this for car detailing to stop the chemicals drying out my skin - they are a generous thickness and size large is as I expected from gloves in the past.Box is easy to open and tends to dispense one glove at a time which is a plus to avoid wastage. Would consider these in the future but wold probably consider them in black so they look less medical/clinical.

These are excellent and ive used halaf the box already in just a few weeks.I am not sure what posessed me, but i decided i was going to redecorate my whole house. In late October in the rain and damp. Not my smartest move, but once you start you cant stop. I have been wearing these to paint in. I am one of those people that find it impossible not to get my hands covered in paint when i am decorating. These were easy to get on and off, didnt irritate my hands and my hands were nicely paint free. Gloss paint is a nightmare to get off so i was quite pleased to get offered these.I normally take a size 7 in gloves and these fitted me with room to spare so if i were to buy these again i would get a medium instead.

These have been great for my bike maintenance as it can take me days to clean the grease off my hands and under my fingernails without. They aren’t very robust but you can double up quite easily. Good value and true to expected size (I take 9 gloves and L fits me well)
