My preference is for Nitrile gloves over Latex gloves. The Nitrile seems to give a better feel and dexterity. Latex irritates my skin a little and makes my hands sweat.
Just recently Costco has started to carry Nitrile gloves. The price is better than any others found in my search. At first my suspicion antennae went up because of all the cheap ones found at Home Depot or other such retail outlets. These often fall apart or tear easily. I like to reuse my gloves as much as possible.
One of the food sample preparation workers was wearing gloves and told me they were the Kirkland gloves and handed me one to try. Hers were size small, but it was evident the quality was what I wanted. The smalls would actually stretch to fit my hand but were tighter than I liked.
One pair of these has already survived a few days in the greenhouse which is more than I expected. The dexterity is great. Yesterday I was separating a bunch of small seedlings for replanting and it amazed me how there wasn't a problem doing this while wearing gloves.
One of the demonstration people was wearing gloves and told me they were the Kirkland gloves and handed me one to try. Hers were a small, but it was evident the quality was what I wanted.
2 boxes with 200 gloves each for $20, available in S, M & L with a size chart on the side.
I posted this here even though it is likely something that would benefit people in many of the other conferences.
