(No Longer) Durable Nitrile Gloves
UPDATE: As of April 2014, Raven has "reformulated" these gloves. They are now much less durable, tear and feel like 3mil gloves. If you receive an order of the original style, my review holds; otherwise and until they return to their previous quality, I do NOT recommend these gloves.
===================
These are excellent gloves for doing light to medium duty work. Lightly textured on the outside, the 6 mil thickness allows them to stand up to much heavier duty than most other nitrile gloves I've tried, while still allowing good tactile feel through them and the use of touch screens.
They stand up to repeat removals even in warm weather when other nitriles would come off in strips
You WILL need to order a size larger than your regular size however. Every other nitrile, latex, or vinyl glove I've tried, I've worn a Large. With these, I need an Extra Large.
These gloves have a low cuff, so if you're working with liquids, you may want something that goes further up your arm.
