I used these for the first time today to cut up and clean jalapeno peppers for poppers. In the past I used nothing or I sprayed my hands with an olive oil spray. After doing so my hands were always on fire and I dare not rub my eyes or go to the bathroom for awhile if you know what I mean! I am not a glove expert but these were awesome!! I felt like they didn't limit anything I was doing and held up great. Felt like I still could grip anything and were not slippery at all. They went on easy on off easy.

These are my first venture into 'blue gloves', so I cannot compare to any other nitrile blue gloves. I had a huge supply of latex gloves that I finally used up on home chores. I like these much better. They are tougher than the latex I had and they do not seem to be affected by oil, gasoline, automotive fluids or shop solvents. I was deciding between 4 mil and 8 mil. These 4 mil seem plenty tough for my needs. I'm not looking for an all day work glove. If I can get through an oil change, grease some wheel bearings or hand clean a few parts, I am happy. These deliver. I did get extra large size even though I wore a large in latex. They fit comfortably with no fear of tearing when I put them on.

I just received these and tried them out. Now, I'm not a medical professional, so I'm not an expert on nitrile gloves. But I like these, and they're going to work for me just fine. Good for shop work, handling nasty stuff, light chemicals, grease and grime.
I didn't buy these for pandemic use, but if Ebola or influenza turns into World War Z, I'll be glad I have these in a box of 100 before they sold out. (Hint, hint)

The seller really has put ALL the important information into the Amazon title description: Nitrile. Powder free (a good thing, as powder can become a vehicle for both particles and germs to attach to). 4 mil thick, which is in the middle of the road for thickness and is plenty for most purposes (other brands are available in 6.1 and even 9, after that you're into rubber gauntlets). They're light blue, so it's easy to see particles or chemicals on the glove (that's a drawback to all-black gloves).
They're disposable, but they're durable enough that you can wear a pair for hours without them breaking or tearing.
I'm told these are labeled 'industrial' because they don't come guaranteed 'sterile' in their box for medical use. So you wouldn't want to do invasive surgery in these, they'll be carrying whatever normal everyday germs on them from the factory, room air, etc.

But if you want to protect YOURSELF from outside germs with these (influenza, colds, etc) they look like they'll do the job. Visibly thicker than the cheapo 10-pack-for-$2 gloves from WalMart or Home Depot. These also extend about 2 inches up your wrist. Much better quality than those cheapo gloves in every way, and in a box of 100 these Liberty's work out to the same price, or even less, per glove.

A tip about size: Most American adult men have hands that need a size XL in most manufacturer's latex/nitrile gloves. There doesn't seem to be industry standardization. It's always better to order a size larger--a little extra room in the glove reduces perspiration, makes it easier to get the glove on and especially easier to remove without tearing, and is just more comfortable. By comparison, most Dollar Store or generic 10-pack gloves are sized Medium. I'm 6.0" and 185 lbs and I I normally wear a Large dress glove, but I ordered a XL in this glove and I'm very glad I did.

Note: Before receiving these I bought a WalMart pharmacy box of Curad Nitrile 3.6 mil exam gloves, which I've also reviewed. They're OK basic economy gloves, but for the exact same price these Liberty gloves are noticeably, visibly superior.

SUMMARY: Good general use gloves. Not the absolute best (Microflex Diamond 375 XL or even 300XL would be better for pandemic use), and also not the most expensive, but good gloves and considerably better than WalMart's pharmacy brand for the same price. Win-win.

If you're not a medical professional, these gloves can be puzzling to research because there's a lack of consistent industry-wide standards and for liability reasons no manufacturer wants to talk about effectiveness spec's in blocking viruses or bacteria.
Note: The manufacturer is Liberty, they own the brand name "Duraskin" and the box you receive will say 'Duraskin', not Liberty, so that's OK and not a 'switch'.
I think these are pretty good gloves. I welcome any suggestions for other brands, just leave a Comment below.

Hope this review has been helpful. Happy trails, everybody, and stay safe.

I got turn on to these glove as a result of my work in a wet lab working with marine organisms, and started using them at home for my reef aquarium. They are awesome for this type of work, I also use them for wood working, handling nasty stuff, light chemicals, grease and grime etc.
The vendor has placed ALL the important information into the Amazon description: Nitrile. Powder free.4 mil thick, which is in the middle of the road for thickness. They're light blue, so it's easy to see particles or chemicals on the glove. They're disposable, but they're durable enough that you can wear a pair for hours without them breaking or tearing.

I just used these to bleach and color my hair. I had no issues with them breaking during use or when the came in contact with the chemicals. They are a little bit big for me (we got XL), but that's okay because my husband uses these around the house too and it saves money to just have one size. Will be purchasing these again. I hate the gloves that come in commercial dyes so these are great to have on hand.

Would I recommend this to a friend? YES

Conclusion:
I am a very excited and happy customer! I will be purchasing this product again in the future!
