Default Re: Latex or vinyl? Gloves, that is.

I use Nitriles myself, not on the bike though in the Chemistry lab, no powder and easy on, not too sweaty unless it's hot and I'm doing a lot (not very often) Quite snug but not restrictive with good senstivity.

But not that cheap. Well unless you borrow them from work.

Much better than vinyls and Latex ones I have used in the past.

I use both types for all dirty jobs - including the bike work. I only ever use them once cos they are a bugger to get on after being worn.

Hi Northy.

Try Nitrile mate. Use them at work and home; absolutely great.

What size are you? If you're having trouble getting some, let me know. I can always post you a box!

Drop me a PM.

Rich

I normally use latex powdered gloves. Northy i wouldn't worry about getting talc in your engine as your hands will get sweaty pretty quick and then the talc just sticks to your hands

Nitriles are good. Nothing worse than getting stuck in and the gloves split at a critical point of the "operation" rendering them completely useless.

Hi, Northy/anyone.

Where can I get a box of Nitrile (purple?) powdered gloves in the Edinburgh area? Don't really want to pay £4.95 p&p for internet orders.

Cheers.

Don't know... Makro apparently but I don't have a card... Costco do I imagine, but likewise. Halfords sell latex ones I think, but it works out more expensive than internet orders. Screwfix maybe? Food wholesalers?

Search for Nitrile Gloves on Ebay.....should find some with postage at less than ?5.

The ones on Ebay seem to be Blue ,mind. I don't know if there s a difference apart from being a different colour.
