I use 3 types of gloves. First are the nitrile disposable gloves just because they're handy to have around, great to use when dealing with fluids, and they're relatively cheap. Second is my pair of Mechanix Original with Extra Grip gloves. These are very comfortable and I tend to use them on a regular basis when I'm not dealing fluids. Last I recently got and they're the Greddy with extra palm protection. I'm not a big guy and when trying to break loose bolts/nuts my palms take quite a beating so these are perfect for those moments.

 

Sorry I'm getting back to this so late, the gloves I use at work are Ansell HyFlex 11-900. They're fantastic. I just used them to move a book case and it reminded me of this thread so I popped upstairs to respond to this

 

Everybody, thanks for your input.

I've checked out various links to those "hybrid" gloves. I'm going to buy a pair and give them a good workout. I particularly like a design that allows perspiration to evaporate from inside the glove through the BACK of the fingers and palm, rather than have it build up and soften the hand inside a pure-nitrile glove that covers the entire hand.

It also seems like it should be pretty much a snap to clean the nitrile-part of the glove and even wash the entire glove after use. The fabric should allow the glove to dry pretty quickly, even the "knit-side" of the nitrile-coated part of the fingers. One could still turn the glove inside out to speed that process.

The price seems reasonable, too.

Thanks.

 

That's one of the best things about these gloves for extended use. The Ansell gloves I use are about $3 a pair I think and they're definitely durable and could even be thrown in the washing machine if they get too dirty.
