BioSafe Disposable Kids Safety Gloves (Pack of 40) - Nitrile Gloves Coated with BIOPROTECT RTU- Disposable Gloves with Long-Term Antimicrobial Protection - Latex Free Glove

These are pricy so the difference must be the BioProtect Antimicrobial they reference in the listing, so I did a little research. The most useful info I found is at "bioprotect.us"If you review bioprotects site you will find the statement "remains effective for up to 90 days". They are referring to when their product is sprayed onto a surface. OK, so what about these gloves that are "treated" with bioprotect? Does the 90 day effective life apply to the coating on these gloves and when does the clock start?The listing makes a few statements:"These nitrile gloves are treated with BioProtect" ----- I interpret "treated" to mean sprayed or dipped"BioSafe Gloves are treated and packaged in the USA" ----- where were they first made? before being treated?I am not a scientist so take it for what it is worth, but after reading thru bioprotects website I have concerns regarding the effective life of BioSafe's treatment of sourced gloves. For me these are pricy gloves that were treated with a chemical that has a 90 day life.

As far as quality, these nitrile gloves for kids are very good. They don’t rip easily. They are latex-free and powder-free as per description. They fit my 13 year old son’s hands exactly with no room to spare. The box suggest that these gloves be for up to 10 years old. I have small hands, and I barely fit in them. The length of the glove from the tip of the long finger to the wrist is 10 inches. They can be for right or left handed. The edges are rolled just slightly allowing for some grip. It is Made in Malaysia. Because these are nitrile, latex-free gloves, they are going to be expensive. I am not sure why kids would need nitrile gloves unless they have latex allergy. The gloves are treated with something called BIOPROTECT. It prevents spread of bacteria. Maybe that is where the extra expense is coming from. However, I can understand as a parent that little kids like to touch everything and we just can’t keep track. For peace of mind, it may be worth the money.

These gloves are a thin, disposable nitrile glove thickness. They are good for using when doing art crafts or science experiments. I like that the kids now can have disposable gloves they can wear to help with house cleaning. Some cleaners are best not touched with bare hands and since the kids couldn't wear adult gloves, they couldn't help with many things. These gloves fixed that and now they are free to help. They are too thin to do yard work in, as they would probably puncture easily. They could provide an extra layer of protection under garden gloves to avoid any allergic or toxic plant reactions.The gloves were tight fitting for my 11 year old, but he was able to wear them comfortably. My 8 year old struggled to get them on and off a bit. He still struggles with gloves as it is, and these didn't slide on and off as easily as the regular gloves he is used to. I suspect they are best for early elementary through middle school age ranges. Smaller than that, the gloves will probably still be too big. Late middle schoolers and older will likely find these to be too small. In the picture attached, the 11 year old's hand is on top of the pic and 8 year oldest hand is on bottom.

The perforated box doesn't lend to easy opening; I practically ripped the majority of the box open trying to open it at the perforated edges. I expected these gloves to be more of a plastic kitchen glove feel, but these are thicker and form fit children's hands and arms better than I anticipated. They feel more like a nitrile glove than anything else I can compare it to. I did a hand by hand comparison for my fairly small/average female adult hand compared to the children's gloves. These are truly children's gloves and my toddler daughter loves them. I've noticed if we go out, and she is not wearing gloves she is constantly touching and adjusting her face mask. When I make her wear gloves she tends to leave her facemask alone which provides more protection against her catching Covid or the flu since it is flu season. This may seem extreme but it really does keep her hands out of her face, protects her hands that touch EVERYTHING from contaminating her own body, and she knows that I must take them of her before she get back into the car. I highly recommend!

My son and niece see me wearing gloves when I’m cleaning and always want to wear them too so that they can help. I honestly had no idea they even made kids size nitrile gloves! I guess with COVID they sell every kind of gloves imaginable. So when I saw these Biosafe kids gloves I was all for it!Unfortunately these are quite small, even for kids! In this photo I have a 5 year old, who is average height and weight for her age, wearing these in the photo and I could hardly get them on her they were so tight around the palms. But my 8 year old son could not even get these on his hand! We tried with 3 different gloves on him, one ripped, and the other 2 we couldn’t even get over his palm.Basically i don’t think these are poorly made, I just think they are just a bit to small even for kids gloves. Plus I think nearly $30 for 40 pairs is darn expensive for some kids nitrile gloves!
