Nitrile Gloves
Hiya Guys,
Can anyone please recommend any 'decent' but not silly expensive Nitrile gloves? Looking for a decent vendor on ebay who someone has used and happy with the product.
I bought a box of ebay but they were rubbish quality and I think maybe a copy product them seemed so bad...
I dropped by my LMS today and asked if they did some and was advised they don't bother stocking as everyone just buys of evilbay...

Re: Nitrile Gloves
Try the local pharmacist. They might cost a little bit more than ebay, but you'll get that back by avoiding shipping.
Ask if you can have a peek at what they use behind the counter, it will give you an idea of quality and even which size to get if they let you try one on.

Re: Nitrile Gloves
Thanks mate.
I'm using tattooist gloves, although top quality they have a very small grip pattern on the finger tips.

Re: Nitrile Gloves
First off, thats a decent price, not much point spending the time to find cheaper. And `Bodyguards` are an industry known name.
I`m `in the trade` on this subject, so I thought I could throw in a few points for the confused.
The `Nitrile` glove has only one reason for its somewhat recent existence. Its sole purpose is to prevent your client, customer, patient or yourself from a visit to A&E with a head like a pumpkin
, because of a `Latex` allergy. It exists, I`ve witnessed it, its not cool.
As a modeller do you need to wear `Nitrile`? Only to protect yourself or your family. You should be able to find the `Latex` gloves cheaper.
`Nitrile` gloves dont have that `snap` and stretch of a Latex glove, as they are more of a plastic than a rubber. (No rubber at all in fact)
Most would go Latex first for `feel` and price, unless the above issues prevented this choice.
