These orange textured gloves were a great purchase for me. I've bought this brand of gloves in their various mm thicknesses for myself, my elderly mother who hates wearing gloves and the seven people I've had working on major cleaning projects the past few years. I've bought the purple or blue, black, green, and these orange textured ones are definitely the most versatile ones I've used. I will be reordering these!
I'm a germaphob. My too dry hands and fingertips cannot hold onto anything with a smooth surface. The texture on these gloves are fantastic, I love that I can walk across the house with a vase, a phone, a stack of papers, cds without any fear of dropping and breaking it.
Fit I read reviews to check for sizing. I did not want these to be snug tight because I can't afford go thru these two boxes in a month or less. I need them to be loose enough that I can take them off so I can go pee, eat, take a phone call, put them on a clip and then put them back on and get back to whatever I was doing.
Depending on my the circumstances, when I need extra protection, I'll wear a smaller pair of another mm underneath these gloves. Or double these up. When ive had to stop what I'm doing to attend to something else for a few minutes- say Mom needs help with the microwave setting, I can quickly and easily put on a larger pair of thinner mm cheaper pair ontop of these, help her out and take them off to get back to my project. Clips are good for those situations too.
My fingers are on the longer side of normal and I
have a problem with them going thru many brands of gloves. No worries about fingertips with these gloves. And they are snug enough that I can feel my fingertips and have the dexterity to use small tools like screwdrivers, and get into small areas for more detailed cleaning.
My experience has been that wearing gloves that are snug they're more apt to tear and break, especially at my fingertips, and doubling them up makes them tear more easily.
And with paid helpers and heavier mm thicknesses, they would not change them until they felt they were worn out- not a good idea when it comes to germs!!! I'd have to remind them to change gloves more frequently.
For me myself and I, it's in my best interests and more cost effective to have a 2 -3 different mm to choose from.
The last pair of leather dress gloves I bought on Amazon were a women's 7 and they were short in the fingertips fit my hand but imo could have been a tinch longer from the palm to wrist. And the next size up would have been too big in fingers and hand.
I'll see about photos later
