Microflex Cobalt N19 Nitrile Gloves Size M

Let me preface this review by saying I have a PhD in biochemistry, where I have spent many years working in a lab wearing gloves every day. Needless to say I have used my fair share of different gloves by different manufacturers. My favorite have always been nitrile gloves, I prefer them over latex (tears too easily and smells) or vinyl (too stiff and doesn't contour to hand very well).I ordered these to use around the house for miscellaneous things such as handling raw meats, using super glue so I don't glue my fingers together, working on my bicycle or car, and other generally disgusting stuff that I don't want to use my bare hands for.I'm 6'1" with normal sized hands and I ordered a medium. This is a little on the small side, but I like my gloves to fit, well, like gloves. A large would have also fit, but been a little larger than my personal preference. The sizing on these was consistent with every other brand I've ever used. So if you've used other gloves before, don't size up or down with these.The first thing I noticed about them was how thick the material felt. Not too thick, but on the thicker side from other nitrile gloves I've worn. This was absolutely perfect for my intended use around the house. The thicker material meant they didn't tear as easily on little snags and really felt like they were doing a good job keeping my hands clean from whatever I was handling. The thicker material did mean I felt a little "disconnected" from the things I was handling (eg a screw when working on my bike), but wasn't too big of a deal.Overall these are some of the best gloves I've ever used. And probably the best ever for my intended use around the house. My career path has taken me out of the lab, but if I was still working in the lab I'd probably order these to use in the lab, they are that good. This is my go-to brand for nitrile gloves from now on! They can't be beat!

I have acrylic nails and I've not split, or torn these one time. Thick!! I'm a woman who usually wears a large glove, as these are for men and women alike I decided that I'd order a medium. I could have ordered a large and I think it would have been fine, but I like a snug fit and these do fit snug without being too tight. They do not come up your arm which I think a lot of people expect exam gloves to do, I have actually never seen ANY exam glove come up beyond the wrist and these will not either. My hand measures 3 1/2" wide by 7" long from wrist line to middle finger tip and I can wear the medium. It would be helpful if others measured their hands and told how the large fits them. In reviews measurements help others immensely!

I order these gloves over and over and find more uses for them all the time. Besides the obvious use in the kitchen and the bathrooms, I use them for gardening, cleaning the car and any time I have to come in contact with chemicals that my hands do not like. These are the best gloves I have found.

I use these for cleaning my bird cages, cleaning litter box, nothing really heavy duty, although I believe they would hold up to it. I use them multiple times before discarding. They are the most durable I've purchased. My recent purchases were at a medical supply, equal or lesser quality for many times the price. Additionally, they are a very attractive cobalt blue color, if that matters. It does to me. We girls like to look our best. I would highly recommend these.

I use nitrile gloves for a variety of jobs where I don't want my hands to be exposed to some messy or dangerous substance. One of those jobs is maintainance on a marine aquarium. This consists of having to handle reef rocks which can easily tear cheap gloves. These Cobalt gloves are thick enough to resist tearing and don't expose my hands to stinging animals like bristle worms. Very good quality glove that is thick enough for tough jobs.

One of the boxes of gloves is open and it looks like some gloves has been taken away. I have to throw away the entire box for contamination reason. Do I have to be charged for that or this is NORMAL ?

These gloves are strong, fit nicely and are non-irritating. A less expensive glove would work just as well, but these will not split or tear. I use them for medical purposes and also in my kitchen handling raw meat. I have average sized hands (ring size 7) and bought the mediums. They especially fit well at the finger tips so handling small items or doing detail work is easy; the gloves don't get in the way, like some of the others. The cobalt blue color is very nice, too!

We use this brand of gloves in my research lab because they're durable, impervious to the chemicals I've used, and don't smell like nasty latex. I bought a box for my home use for pet poo cleanups and other such messes. Other brands my lab has tried often rip when you pull them on, but these generally don't.
