Review: perfect for the job, arrived very quickly
Review: I like the thickness, I’ve tried the thinner options, like 2mil up to 4mil thickness, and those just feel very thin to me. I have also tried the Ansell Alphatec Solvex gloves, the green colored ones that are longer length and 12mil, those are okay but for me it is difficult to handle things, they are too thick and stiff for some types of activities (for me at least). I definitely appreciate the size of these gloves, as the mediums were too loose on me, and also made it difficult to handle certain activities. These were like the perfect overall glove for me, size/thickness/flexibility. I need to check the size chart again to see how they measure the hands and I’ll try to update my review later with my hand measurements for reference. I have also tried the extra small, some days those are way too tight, some days I guess my hands are a bit smaller (I think maybe like if I’m dehydrated or something, the x-small will actually work well, but typically they fell very tight and limit dexterity for me). The medium will stay on my hands but the fingers are too long and they are too loose for my preference. I’ve also tried large and those are extremely loose on me and just continue falling off as I’m trying to work… so if that helps at all for sure reference. I’ll try and check the chart like I said, but I may forget so hopefully this helps! I’ll add that I recently ordered the Titanflex brand from desertcart, lime green colored with textured grip, I forget the exact product details, it is currently unavailable (it just popped up on my home page before I started this review, so literally not available right now… but it had a suggestion for another similar item from the same brand so I think it might be close enough to make this relevant), I really liked these gloves. It was a “heavy duty” option, and nitrile of course, size small, and I believe 8 mil. I actually think I liked these a little better than the purple 5.9 mil ones in this review, and I have used these for years, boxes said “Kimberly Clark” typically until Covid period, or maybe I just noticed the different brand names at that point bc my lab manager let everyone know about nitrile shortages and that we’d be getting some different options, and so we ended up with some “Haylard” boxes, and honestly I don’t even know if this review is for Kimberly Clarke or the Haylard one, but I have used both and they seemed to be the same in every respect to me, so I had no issues with using either brand. We ended up with some Kimtech brand gloves which I think might have been a thinner version (like 3 or 4 mil), so if those are a thinner glove (I might be remembering the exact brand wrong, so ignore this if the Kimtech 55081 glove is 5.9 mil as well, they were probably great, but if they are the thinner version I had issues, they tear easier and like I noted above, it just felt uncomfortable to me, maybe bc I had become used to the 5.9mil gloves for years by the time I had to use a thinner option… but they definitely did tear frequently for me and that is less of a preference review.. granted I am a little clumsy so judge whether the thinner gloves will suffice based on your gracefulness and your intended activity). Amex brand was definitely a thinner glove (3 or 4 mil), again I preferred size small, and they were good and similar to the ones in this review, as far as fit and size and hood flexibility, but they were too thin for me. I did really like one other brand, I think it’s called “Sempershield” and I’m pretty sure we ordered from Thomas Scientific, and actually I have looked for it on desertcart and could not find it, but those ones were my favorite glove out of all that I’ve tried. They are longer (well we ordered extended cuff, they might come in multiple lengths), they were similar in fit but maybe a little bit better than this product, I think it’s bc my fingers are short so maybe the ones in this review have slightly longer fingers… not sure, I just liked the Sempershield ones a little more. I think they were also around 6mil thickness, but they came 50/box instead of 100, so they may have been a tiny bit thicker, or the extended cuff was enough to make that necessary. These were the best overall in my opinion, I used small again. The 8mil, lime green, textured grip, size small, heavy duty nitrile gloves I mentioned above, ordered from desertcart, though currently that exact product is not available, but a similar item is (might be the same glove but different size box… didn’t look closely yet), brand Titanflex would be my second fave, and then these either Haylard or Kimberly Clarke were good for me. I do not recommend anything thinner than 5.9 mil, but will note again it depends on what you need them for, they work but I felt like I had to be very careful and if I was using any harmful chemicals, I used a thicker and reusable style or I would put on several layers of the thin gloves (referring to numerous 3-4 mil nitrile, disposable glove options).
