Good Protection, Coating Comfortable, Nice Colors-Run Big & Bulky, Uncoated Pairs Lack Same Comfort
These household gloves are made of PVC instead of latex and come in a 4-pack that includes 2 blue flock lined pairs and 2 white/yellow unlined pairs. The lining is a coating, not extra fabric. Each pair is separately sealed. The colors are nicer than my standard yellow household gloves, and these have cute details like a scalloped rim at the opening and patterns such as little flowers.<br /><br />These gloves feel thicker and a little bulkier than my usual yellow latex gloves. I do like the feel of the cotton coating inside the two blue pairs as it absorbs moisture and keeps them from feeling clammy or sticky inside. If the gloves were a tighter fit, it would also help with taking them on and off. The white/yellow unlined gloves don’t feel as comfortable as they stick to my skin and get clammy feeling, but they’re ok for short intervals. I would have preferred all pairs were coated inside.<br /><br />These gloves come up higher on my forearms than other gloves this style, so they generally offer good protection of my forearms as well as my hands from hot water and grime when I’m washing dishes, cleaning the toilets and so on. The hands have a textured grippy exterior that helps keep wine glasses, dishes and other breakables from slipping through my hands.<br /><br />These gloves run big. I have long fingers and normally wear a size L in household gloves and a size L/XL woman’s fashion glove, but the size L is really roomy everywhere. I still use them, but they slip down so they dangle off my long fingers and the arms gape open. I’ve reused both styles of gloves numerous time and haven’t had any issues of tearing. While not perfect, I do like these household gloves for chores pretty well (especially the coated pairs). I suggest sizing down, with the caveat I haven’t tried size M and the unlined style will be difficult putting on and taking off if too tight.  3.5 stars.
