HALYARD Sterling Nitrile Exam Gloves, Powder-Free, 3.8 mil, 9.5", Gray, Small, 50706 (Box of 200)

Love these nitrile gloves! I worked in a museum environment for 15 years where I was wearing nitrile gloves the majority of the time while handling objects in the collection for photography, so I have tried a variety of brands in the nitrile glove category. These have a very nice soft feel to them and a very fine sense of touch. I prefer them snug so I have very precise control of small or delicate parts, but not so tight that they restrict blood flow. This type has a very smooth feel as well for putting them on, which is one of the most important aspects if you use this kind of glove regularly. I have had some where the size was fine once they were on but they were a little more sticky than this brand, and that made them much more difficult to put on. I almost never have put gloves back on, either because our object handling protocols prioritized the safety of the objects so the risk of contamination from taking gloves off and then putting them back on was not supported. At home I am only wearing these if I'm working with something toxic to my skin, so there too I am not trying to put them on again, so if that is important for you then I don't have much to say with respect to that. It feels like they are powdered, even though they are specifically identified as "powder free" and I have never seen any signs of any residue while using them, but that feeling of them being powdered seems to be part of how they slide on very smoothly and they don't bind while wearing them. Having tried a wide range of nitrile gloves, I am a dedicated fan of these and when I'm buying them myself I have repeatedly returned to this same line. They're just nitrile gloves, but if you use them with any frequency then these little details make them so pleasant to work with, I'm a huge fan.
