GLOVEWORKS Industrial Black Nitrile Gloves

I bought size X-Large, and it is exactly the right size for me. They even make a bigger size, XX-Large. My fingers are fairly long, so almost any gloves they might have at the supermarket will indeed fit onto my hands, but then I will feel like I have webbed fingers, like a duck. The gloves are stretchy, so you can pull them all the way on, but if the fingers are not long enough, there will be webbing between my fingers full of air. With these gloves in X-Large, the glove fingers are at least as long as my own fingers. This is how gloves SHOULD fit, because having the glove stretched over your finger makes it resist bending in your finger, as the rubber along the top of your finger gets stretched even more. These gloves are THICK, which is what I wanted. This manufacturer makes a thinner glove. These are not medical exam gloves and will not give fine touch perception. Rather, these gloves are good for cleaning things with steel wool without tearing them to pieces. These gloves are durable enough that they never tear while pulling them on. However, if you do manage to puncture the glove, the tear will spread like wildfire, as is the case with all gloves of this type, both nitrile synthetic rubber (like these) and natural latex rubber (the classic material that causes allergies for some people). These gloves are not powdered, which I prefer. Unlike more expensive gloves (which are often medical exam gloves), these do not have a thick or reliable bead around the wrist. These do have a subtle bead (a ring of thicker material at the very edge), but it is quite thin and it is not consistent in thickness, and it curls in places. Do not count on these gloves to snap tight against your wrist and totally prevent sweat from dripping out the bottom. Lacking a tight bead on the wrist is not necessarily a bad thing, it can be uncomfortable, especially if you plan to wear the gloves for a long time. These gloves are subtly textured, I am not sure if it makes a difference. I can certainly open tightly closed bottles with these gloves on, so thats good. Despite frequent warnings that latex rubber and nitrile rubber are not resistant to organic solvents, these gloves have never shown any signs of weakening when exposed to solvents ranging from hexane to diethyl ether. Ether does penetrate the gloves to a small extent, such that my skin will smell like ether afterward. Isopropanol does not penetrate the gloves at all, my skin remains odorless. These gloves are likely completely impenetrable to water, but it is impossible to know because my hands can excrete sweat, so finding water on my skin doesnt mean anything.

I got these gloves to use when working on my truck. Theyre very thin, and thus rip very easily. I found myself having to change gloves often, as they would rip apart every time Id do something. Theyd even rip apart when Id (carefully) put on a new one. Frustrating to say the least. Give 5 stars for comfort as they fit nicely (when they didnt rip apart). If youre looking for good nitrile gloves for doing things like automotive work, I suggest Venom brand. A little pricier but worth it.

They actually fit

They just seem to rip/break more easily than quality gloves. However, they do have a little traction bit on their fingertips which I like. If you wonder whether youre a medium or large, get large.

works great on cars

Use them when i cook/bbq. Great fit.

These fit better than any other brand. I usually wear large but have lots of extra room in other brands. Mediums don’t fit at all. These hold up great for work (I do hair and use these for coloring).

Great gloves at a great price, I will definitely be buying more when we need them.

If your man or spouse works on cars, they absolutely need this! It’s worth the money! They don’t rip easily like the ones their job supplies.
