Default Latex Gloves

Just ran out of cheapo disposable latex gloves and bought a new box of
100 - this time from Screwfix. O dear. Mistake.

* Too thin
* Too fragile
* Powdered
* They stick to themselves

The previous ones were adequately thick and strong, not powdered and did
not stick to themselves! Unfortunately no longer available from original
supplier. (I *hate* the feel of the powder on my hands. Hence unpowdered
are very much preferred.)

Any suggestions where to get some better ones at a good price? Or a brand
to look out for?


Don't bother with them.

Get some from Arco and preferably the blue nitrile ones "Skytech Utah" make
(Stock code 1450005). Around a tenner for a box of 100. Use them more than
once and they're cost effective.
I use them when I am servicing lorry cranes, dirty stinky and loads of
hydraulic oil around. If I don't catch them on something sharp I get 2 or 3
uses out of them.
No powder inside, non-allergenic and best of all they don't fall apart with
oils or petrol etc
