SAS Safety 66518 Raven Powder-Free Disposable Black Nitrile 6 Mil Gloves, Large, 100 Gloves by Weight (Tools & Home Improvement)

   UPDATE: As of April 2014, Raven has "reformulated" these gloves. They are now much less durable, tear and feel like 3mil gloves. If you receive an order of the original style, my review holds; otherwise and until they return to their previous quality, I do NOT recommend these gloves.===================These are excellent gloves for doing light to medium duty work. Lightly textured on the outside, the 6 mil thickness allows them to stand up to much heavier duty than most other nitrile gloves I've tried, while still allowing good tactile feel through them and the use of touch screens.They stand up to repeat removals even in warm weather when other nitriles would come off in stripsYou WILL need to order a size larger than your regular size however.

This is the reason the gloves don't stretch as well.. because they're just really thick!Secondly, to address the previous popular review regarding the size. I believe this is spot on, but I'll add my own personal experience with the SMALL size: I have very long and skinny hands, so naturally I ordered the small size. This small size is *really* small.

These used to be excellent gloves, the last batch I got was in a grey box with "new formula" printed on the box. These new formula gloves tear very easily.
