Nitrile is better. Keeps the blood in when you cut yourself.

I think the gloves make sense to take along in the trail kit where is no chance to clean your hands after doing whatever needs doing.

I dont know how anyone works with those thin gloves on, i know the way i work and those gloves wouldnt last long at all, like seconds. Hell the "mechanix" gloves dont last a year... and i only use them to take crap apart, that seems to be when i bash my hands. Need to be able to feel to put things back together, cant do that with gloves.

Ha,ha…That’s what I am telling myself on Sunday night when I am repairing & maintaining the stable after a weekend of riding. Monday morning when I am giving a presentation and pointing to things on the Smartboard in front of a roomful of my bosses however, I wish I’d worn gloves!

well now there is an easier solution than those stupid gloves for that. Laser pointer, plus you get to annoy everyone in the office with it when you are not giving presentations.

Ha, ha, tried the laser pointer already. Doesn’t show up on the Smartboard…but I still like annoying colleagues with it!
