ThxTomsThxToms Chemical Resistant Nitrile Gloves, Resist Household Acid, Alkali, Solvent and Oil, Latex Rubber Free, 1 Pair Medium

If you need a good upper body workout, try washing facecloths and rags in a bucket in the sink. Yes my washing machine broke and I'm waiting for the repairman to tell me if it can be fixed. Eight years without an issue until there was an error code and the washing machine wouldn't drain!!!So I got these gloves because my regular disposable gloves are no match for laundry detergent or bleach and the water gets inside the smaller gloves. These are nice and long so you can plunge your gloved hands into the water and move things around. These also worked well while I was scrubbing the rags clean. Whew! Gloves that are this strong are impressive when doing household tasks.As far as comfort goes, the XL fit me perfectly with a little wiggle room. I have trouble finding gloves that will fit me in general and these worked great. So if you normally get an XL in the disposable gloves, these might work for you.All my rags and facecloths are in the dryer happily getting ready for folding. I will say that doing manual labor like washing things by hand gives you an invigorating sense of accomplishment that you don't get from washing clothes and rags in the washing machine. If I had one of those rotating clotheslines like I had in Africa I would have happily hung up all the washed items and let them dry in the sun. Memories! While washing I listened to my forest birdsong CD. It was almost like being outside washing clothes on a rock in a stream.~The Rebecca Review

Solid quality material help protect your hands from slightly harsher chemicals. Fits great for average size hands. Good fitment so that you can still be nimble with your fingers. Material seems thick enough and hasn't torn or worn out after multiple uses.

These r great gloves. The fit is perfect, the quality is great not too thick not too thin. Price is a bit much but if they last longer then 3 months Worth It. There's no smell, seem durable, comfort is there, of course their effective. Just as pictured

**I made a "Nutshell" version near the bottom of the review for those who just want the very basics**Also, I paid the full Amazon price for this product and have no affiliation with whomever makes these gloves, and nobody asked me to review this product. :)SIZING ACCURACY (4 out of 5) -- go one size bigger than the chart tells you.Took one star off because I followed the sizing chart, and the resulting measurement put me right in the sweet spot for the "Large" size gloves (like right in the middle of that bracket), and these gloves are snug to the point of being kind of uncomfortable. I mean, we're not talking about cutting off blood circulation or anything, but I definitely wouldn't want to wear them at this size for more than maybe 5 minutes. So I might suggest going by the sizing chart, figuring out the "suggested" size, and then going one larger unless you're at the very bottom measurement for that size bracket. The other issue the sizing problem causes is that they're pretty challenging to take off. So really, this doesn't take away from the quality of the glove itself, it just means that you have to "work around" the inaccurate sizing chart that they provide.MATERIAL/DEXTERITY (5 out of 5!)Sizing issues aside, the gloves themselves are made out of a sturdy material that seems like it would stand up well to repeated use -- putting on/taking off over and over, etc., at least for what I use them for, which is keeping chemicals off of my skin. And unlike lots of other gloves where you're basically choosing between resilience OR dexterity, the dexterity and fine control I had with these gloves on was outstanding, which was even more surprising considering the sizing mishap meant the gloves were pretty tight on my hands & fingers. The gripping surfaces are also lightly textured, which is always a plus.TEAR/PUNCTURE RESISTANCE (5 out of 5! --based on light to moderate testing)I saw on the product page that one of the listed product features is that they're tear-resistant, which I have to admit I HIGHLY doubted just from the feel of the material. So, since I'm going to buy another pair of these gloves (one size larger) anyway, I figured I'd do a little experiment for this review...I took one of the gloves by the wrist part and just let it hang down, grabbed a pair of pretty-new scissors with nice narrow blades, and started raking down the glove vertically with one of the scissor blades. At first I used light pressure and all I saw were faint lines (not cuts, just marks that something had rubbed against the material).So I upped the pressure and speed of the swipes bit by bit until I was more or less just kind of "slashing" at the gloves.--Result: All I ended up with were the same white lines/markings where the blade had roughed up the material a bit. I pulled the material perpendicular to the direction I was slashing to see if I could pull open any tiny cuts that I wouldn't have otherwise seen, and there wasn't a single one.I then held part of the upper wrist portion taut and tried a few straight-on pokes at it with a single scissor blade. (For reference, the tip of each blade on this pair of scissors was just a tiny bit thicker than the end of a tine on a normal-sized dinner fork...so the pressure was focused on a pretty small/sharp area.) Pressure-wise, I again started on the lighter side at first which wasn't doing anything, so I pushed the scissor blade pretty hard straight into the material about 5 times or so, expecting it to puncture at least slightly. The pressure on each of the 5 "stabs" was enough to push the tautly-stretched glove material about 2-ish inches and was applied to the same exact spot all 5 times.--Result: No puncture, and not even so much as a deformity in the material where the scissor blade was repeatedly pushed into it.NUTSHELL VERSION for those who completely skipped the stuff above...I didn't want to leave out the people who just want the quick facts so they can move on :) *(For those that did read above, there's no info in this section that wasn't in the full review you read)*- The gloves are sized a bit small according to the chart so I'd suggest buying one size larger.- The gloves are sturdy without reducing your ability to have fine control over whatever you're working on.- I put them through some decent tests and they seem to be VERY resistant to tears and punctures. As long as you're not TRYING to shred them apart, or you're a knife juggler or something, my bet is you'll be fine. But obviously some situations have more sharp edge hazards than others, so maybe in that case buy a few pairs just to have some backups.- You don't find quality like this at these prices very often so if you have any use for a good set of gloves, buy a pair and you won't be disappointed.AND THAT'S THE REVIEW!ONE REQUEST, if you feel like doing it -- I would really love your FEEDBACK! I genuinely hope you found this review helpful, and I'd love it if you'd let me know what you liked or if there's some stuff that didn't really do anything for you. Basically I always aim to provide honest reviews with as much detail as possible for people who are looking for that level of information, as well as "just the basics" for people who need the quick facts. And yes, the voting buttons are a quick and easy way both for you to tell me if you liked it or didn't like it, as well as for me to quickly see overall if my reviews are actually helping people, but I'd really love it if you'd also drop a comment below the review (if you're so inclined) so I can get some real details on what I can do more and less of to help out my fellow Amazon addicts even better :)

Great product, works as needed.

I like these so much I bought a second pair! The fit is great, and they are comfortable.

Durable, waterproof, chemical resistant, however I should’ve gotten the xl, size Large is a bit tight

I’m using the gloves to strip an old desk with lots of nooks and crannies. I love that they fit so my dexterity is good! They’re cotton lined so easy on and off. I wish they were a bit thicker so would last longer.
