Thread: Gloves

I'm typically a glove wearer myself. Different gloves for different jobs.

I use regular brown jersey gloves for lawn mowing or doing minor yard work.
I use white cotton canvas gloves for gardening or doing medium-heavy duty yard work.

I use the blue nitrile gloves when sanding a razor. I don't use them while doing the rest of the restoration, though; I prefer to get the feel.

I wear the blue nitrile gloves under brown jersey gloves when using the snow blower or shovel. I sweat a lot, so the hand sweat keeps my hands warm while working in the cold (a la scuba diving wetsuit style).

Thanks for the tip on the Grease Monkey gloves. I'll have to try them. I've been using the blue nitrile gloves for working on the car, but they tear up too easily.

Rhensley i,m not sure but I always can get my hand into rig gloves, it's what we wear out in the oilfield ,, not pretty and there cotton, but they fit my big ole mitts I hear you about riding gloves but the last set of Harley gloves I bought are doing fine the largest they have ,, I did get them wet and stretched them some but so far they don't cut the circulation.

The Harley gloves I have are the water resistant leather with a warm lining. I got caught in a flood last year coming back from Daytona and there still tight. My hands are wide but the fingers are not real long. ring size is 14 1/2 so I guess it's because of the with of my hands. I get the gloves on but it's hard to open my hands. I noticed the foot note on your reply if you ride you will fall. well when you get older sometimes you just fall.

I hear you on that too. ,, sometimes we just fall. Lol, tc

I had run out of the Curad nitrile gloves & saw this brand at Wal Mart this week. They are $8.00 approx. & are a much better glove that the Curad,,, much stronger. I actually pulled on them quite a bit & they held. A good glove for simple chores like gun cleaning,,,, which I'm about to do now.

Great idea. No prints on the gun!

Nitrile gloves for cleaning and honing razors, as well as for performing all maintenance on my bicycles.

Alright,,, back to some exciting threads,,,,

I found these Mr. Clean latex gloves to be quite tough & fit really well, they are thicker than most of the Nitrile gloves. The only thing is they are "6" pairs to the pack & this pack was about 8 years old, so I don't have a price. They are rugged, but not cost affective if you are using several pair a day.




These Playtex gloves are the toughest so far, with long sleeves for better coverage. I use these once every 2 weeks to clean the archery range, toilets, leaves etc. ,,,,, the only problem is your hands sweat a lot,,,, about $2.73 a pair , not cheap compared to a box of Gorilla Gloves.

Yikes! Latex? Best to reduce your exposure...

These last (traditional cleaning gloves) are great for toughness but typically give up almost all tactile qualities and fit like galoshes.

Ah. If you''re the kissor and not the kissee; hard to get sap gloves before the martial art craze and internet due to legal restrictions. Now, not so much. I would call them deadly weapons in (on ) the wrong hands. I saw a fellow MP backhand an aggressive drunk back in the day - it looked like a gentle flip of the hand and it sent a man sprawling to the pavement. VERY impressive.

After 25 years selling, manufacturing and marketing industrial gloves I am left with grocery bag fulll of eclectic work and dress gloves. I ever have a pair when I need them. I loved the industry as a whole but rarely enjoyed using the product. The problem with gloves is each type maybe has one favorable characteristic at the expense of all other characteristics. If you find a perfect fit it makes your hands sweat; find a comfortable glove that doesn't make you sweat and it isn't liquidproof; find a decent cut-resistant glove and it deprives tactile sense... etc. etc. My only advice - never buy anything marked or represented by "ANSELL" unless you support moral bankruptcy. Sorry, Aussies.
