Kimtech™ Purple Nitrile™ Exam Gloves (55083), 5.9 Mil, Ambidextrous, 9.5”, Large, 100 Nitrile Gloves / Box

Kimberly Clark Nitrile Purple Gloves, Large, Medium, and SmallThe fit of these gloves is spot on. I am in-between Medium and Large with my normal gloves (Mechanix, Winter, outdoor) and Large will provide some extra room, while Medium is generally a perfect fit. A family member has smaller hands, so I ordered her a box of the small gloves. They are a great fit for women with smaller hands. The Medium is a better fit for me, and I normally wear Medium/Large Mechanix gloves (Medium is skin-tight, Large gives me a bit more room but can be annoyingly long at the fingertips).The Kimberly Clark nitrile gloves don't have the nasty powder, which gets all over the place after you remove the gloves and start handling things. The nitrile material seems thicker and more durable than the average blue nitrile gloves from Harbor Freight. I love using nitrile gloves because I have a latex allergy, and the nitrile gloves protect my hands from nasty chemicals when working on my hobbies. The price is actually very competitive with Harbor Freight and other discounted places, and the quality of these Kimberly Clark gloves is substantially better.I have been using a single pair of these gloves for over 6 months doing laundry. They are extremely durable and hold up to non-chlorinated brake cleaner and engine oil much better than cheap Harbor Freight nitrile gloves - however the solvents do cause the nitrile to swell and become more susceptible to tearing.These Kimberly Clark nitrile gloves may be more expensive than no-name brand nitrile gloves, but they are far more durable.Overall: 5/5 stars, the fit is spot on for me, there's no powder, and the price is competitive!

I put my hands through all kinds of use and abuse. Every day I go through 6-10 pairs of nitrile gloves, sometimes 15-20 pairs. I renovate houses, and use a wiiiide variety of tools and materials, all hard on the hands - chemicals, toxins, cuts, abrasions, sharp edges, splintered wood, etc. The general quality of your standard nitrile glove has bottomed out. Many of the economy brands rip as you put them on, and if your lucky they last for 15-20 minutes of work, I even started layering them just to get through some tasks so I wouldn't have to go looking for gloves with my hands full... I have now purchased over 11 different brands of nitrile gloves trying to find one that will hold up without being the super-duper thick ones,, I often wear a pair to protect from spray foam, glue, caulk or paint so I can strip off the mess by just throwing the gloves out and jumping to another task, so I don't always want the thick ones (less dexterity with thick also). Through heavy abuse,these Halyard Health Nitrile gloves held up ALL DAY! - one pair, I am still in awe. These are (without a doubt) easily the best medium/lightweight Nitrile gloves I have used. I will be buying a case. They are a little on the expensive side for a box of 100 gloves - $12 compared to $7 for your Harbor Freight and other cheapies, and They Are Worth Every Penny. When compared to 10 other boxes (you name it, I've tried them) they are well worth it. Wish I had found them years ago, and hope the quality stays up where it is!

When a known good quality product is no longer available, and the only option appears to be a knock-off, it is definitely time to be skeptical. After reading some of the negative reviews, I almost did not order these. However, I felt there were enough positive reviews to give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised.There was one glove left in my Kimberly Clark box, so I put that on my left hand, and the new Halyard Health glove on my right. I am right-handed, so it it was going to rip, let's find out. The thickness felt the same, as did the suppleness. Even the color matched! Didn't notice any hole punctures or rips when I was done. They performed as well as expected. This is important to me because skin will absorb chemicals. It's not as quick as ingesting them, but when skin has a long exposure there is plenty of time to absorb it. Having any cuts or abrasions in the skin just makes it worse.Not sure why there were such bad reviews. Perhaps the initial run was too thin and ripped? Then they corrected it in the next batch? Can't say. All I know is I am happy with them and will buy them again.

I have tried a few different brands of Nitrile glovesfor mechanic work washing parts in solvent, and so far, these are my favorite.Some of the positives: They are NOT powdercoated! I really didn't like the baby powder on my hands. Also, they are softer on the inside and a little loose in large compared to other brands making them easy to take off and reuse. I used one pair about 45 min a day for a week by wiping my hands off after I was done in the solvent and gently pulling the gloves off one finger at a time. They work great too when I get a cut on one hand and need to protect it while I work. I can even wash my hands with one glove one and take the glove off after, keeping my bandage dry.The downsides: Not as long as pictured. These gloves are still just 9 in or so long, reaching just to the wrist. The extra long gloves come in packs of 50, state that they are the long ones, and usually are priced higher per box. Also, they are purple. Not my favorite color as a mechanic. But, they keep my hands clean and dry through oil, dirt, and solvent, so purple is an ok color.

These are very nice gloves. They are worth the little extra money. I feel confident when using them for messy things. I feel safe using these gloves. Thank you for an excellent, dependable product. Good looking too.
