Anyone know of disposable gloves that breath?

[rudeguy]

After a few hours of wearing nitrate gloves, I get trench hand. Are there any gloves out there that are made for prolonged use?


Thanks!

cotton inspectors gloves, maybe.



You've been working too hard and not posting enough.

Is it possible to just switch em out.

Is this from being down in your torture dungeon for too long?

Is it possible to just switch em out.

Your hand doesn't cool off that fast, though. You'd have to stop working to let your hand dry out and cool off before putting on another set of nitrate gloves.

Wear some cheap cotton gloves underneath the plastic ones, it makes a huge difference for me.

 

[rsbennett00]

Yup, the cotton or bamboo ones they sell at the beauty supply store.

What do you need them for? Jersey gloves are cotton, and about as cheap as it gets, but they'd probably leave lint if that's a problem. They also don't allow the finest control of fingers. Mechanics gloves should be lint free, and give good finger use, but not the same as nitrile gloves.

Gloves that breath would defeat the purpose of wearing gloves. If it breaths then it is porous and would not act as a effective barrier.

These ones breathe well:

Those gloves attract lint like crazy.

I've tried to be around but they banned my IP for a bit. Didn't ban me, just my IP

I wear nitrile gloves alot at work. Which is probably what you meant.

Anyway every 1-2 hours take them off, wash your hands with soap and water, dry them real good, and put on new gloves. Repeat. I'd say you can go like 3 hours without swapping to new ones. Also having clean hands before you put on a pair of gloves will help. So wash your hands, dry them real good, wait like 5 minutes for them to totally dry so the gloves don't stick, then put on your gloves. And repeat every ~3 hours.

Fingerless cotton gloves under nitrile actually works pretty well. The cotton soaks up the sweat and provides a pathway for evaporation under the cuff, and you still get good finger feel since you've just got a single layer of nitrile at the fingertips.

What are you using the gloves for? If you're trying to maintain a barrier between what your touching and yourself (ie if it is toxic or a biohazard), I don't believe you're going to be able to find any. If you're just trying to prevent transfer of a fingerprint or something, nylon gloves might work. They should be more breathable than rubber / latex ones.

You could also try using some kind of baby powder to help keep the moisture down. Powder up between swapping.

nitrile gloves?

I prefer those, actually, because after a few years wearing latex daily, I started to develop an obnoxious itch. But yeah, Nitrile do not breath very well.

....have you tried latex?

 

[momeNt]

some gloves are nitrile dipped so only the palm and finger surfaces are coated, but the back of your fingers, and back of your hand are breathable cotton. Depending on why you need the gloves, those might work.

What are you trying to protect?

Since we're just pulling suggestions out of our asses I'm gonna go with leather riding gloves, fingerless.

 

[MongGrel]

Depends on the application, have no idea what your doing myself.

 

[MongGrel]

I've used cotton, nitrile dipped, straight nitrile, leather in various degrees, asbestos, chain link.

Probably a few others, depends on what you're doing would help.

 

[MongGrel]

Cotton Inspector type of gloves breathe great if it's an application you just need to keep body oil contact away from and are very light.

i always had to take them off, let hands dry, put new ones on. Was ok at the job i was at since the smokers still took twice as many breaks. probably went through 4-8 pairs on an average workday.
