So I might have been a bit quick when I bought these as they are not quite what I was looking for: they are not sterile. But other than that, I have put them to use in some cleaning projects and I have never had one rip on me, so I guess that makes them better than most gloves I have used int he past...

I ordered a box each of large and medium gloves because they are available directly from Amazon (Prime-eligible). I did realize when ordering them that they were shop gloves and not sterile exam gloves (and the reviews for the large gloves do mention this repeatedly). What I wasn't expecting was for about 80% of the gloves in each box to be contaminated with an unknown black substance, and for a smaller but significant fraction to be torn! It's one thing for the outer surface to not be sterile - but (1) how do I know what the black substance is and whether it is bad for whatever I'm touching, and (2) how do I know it isn't contaminated on the inside as well? (Hint: not all contaminants need to be visible to be bad for you or for equipment.) The gloves seem fine from a thickness and mechanical design point of view, but if some gloves are visibly torn, how am I supposed to trust that the remainder don't have small tears or weak areas that are about to tear?

Halloween is just around the next shadowy blood-spattered corner, and I had no costume. The calendar bent me over, "werewolf-style", and I was running out of time to get my witching season freak on. Also, I was *hauntingly* close to broke, and didn't have a lot of scratch to spend on my holiday outfit. So I settled for what I could get, like a vampire in the Ocean Spray aisle.

I could've spent a fortune dressing up like a doctor -- lab coat, stethoscope, golf clubs, malpractice lawyer. But what really defines a physician? What one accessory screams out "hey, doc!" like no other, for pennies on the dollar?

The exam gloves. You walk around with a pair of these puppies on, and it doesn't matter what else you're wearing -- people just ASSUME "doctor".

Or mad scientist, I suppose. Or these days, TSA screener. So I went the extra mile, to make sure my implied costume was unmistakable:

I only wear ONE glove. And there's nobody -- but nobody -- on the planet who wears just one rubber glove, save for a very... particular sort of doctor. It's a brilliant costume. It cost next to nothing. And no one fights me for potato chips at the snack table at Halloween parties. This may well be the PERFECT costume. Moon River, baby. Moon. River.

I searched the web, and this was the best deal I could find. They seem to be good gloves for the money.

I got these gloves to use for an anatomical dissection course. I don't want to use latex gloves on a daily basis because latex can cause the development of an allergic reaction. The price is right and the gloves have been pretty good. They were also handy for changing the battery in my car. Note that they're not sterile but perfectly useable for cadaveric dissection. I will say, they're a little on the thin side and tear rather easily, and so I did not give them five stars. But, you can always double-glove.

I really like these gloves. The nitrile isn't as sticky as latex so they're easy to slip on. They're pretty tough too. I used them to do a little roof shingling and they only broke after I punctured them.

The clear vinyl bulk gloves are generally too flimsy to use around a motorcycle because they rip and tear too easily. These are better. Just as comfortable but much more resistant to tearing.

This glove is so good, very strong I even reuse it for as long as I wish bf disposing it. The regular reusable ones always tear somewhere and give bad odor that I decided to go for disposable ones for house hold work like doing dish, cleaning d bathroom and so on. this glove turns out so strong that I can even reuse it without any bad odor or tearing anywhere.

My hubby works with tile and concrete so these gloves are perfect for what he needs. The delivery is always super speedy. I wish the large size was the same price as the medium and XL... I guess Large is the most popular. He goes through a lot... but at least shipping is free if you get a few boxes at a time. Overall... EXCELLENT.

I purchased these in size large after having purchased Gator Skin gloves in size large. The Advanced Tool Design gloves (aka Tech Grip) in size large is larger than the Gator Skin in size large, so it's better for larger hands. However, the Gator Skin gloves are thicker than the Advanced Tool Design, which are more like standard nitrile gloves. I will buy the Gator Skin next time.
