Manufacturer Decreased Thickness/Quality of Gloves
If you've purchased these gloves before (namely between 2010 & early 2011) you'll notice that the quality of the gloves have decreased dramatically since then. The previous version of these gloves (sold in a black/red box with a white ribbon on it) were thick, durable, and well worth the money.
The latest version of these gloves (mostly tan box) are MUCH thinner, only last a fraction of the time that the other gloves did, are about 1 size smaller than before, and no longer stretch to fit your hand comfortably. These gloves are now too small for me (my size is/was large), they're uncomfortable to wear (older version stretched to fit your hand perfectly), and tear with the slightest snag.
I've compared the old gloves to the new ones by putting them side by side and holding them up to a light. After doing so I'd estimate that the new gloves allow 75% more light through than the older version of the gloves. That's ridiculous! This alone clearly illustrates how the manufacturer has greatly decreased the mil (thickness) of the gloves in the newest version of the product, probably just to save a couple bucks. Shame on you Dynarex!
In the form of star ratings, I'd give the old version 5 stars [*****], and the new version one star [*].
