Goldilocks gloves, M true to size
I like this thickness of glove, with more tactility than the heavy-duty cleaning gloves I've tried, and much more strength than even the strongest surgical-style ones.<br /><br />These have a cotton lining (flocking) that starts at the wrist. It makes it easier to get the gloves on and off, absorbs a little sweat, and may strengthen the glove. It can be harder to clean, though, so some prefer unlined gloves for repeated use or for use with nasty substances that have to be completely washed out for reuse.<br /><br />They grip fairly well, not quite as well as bare hands for some things. Some people are saying they're not so great for handling dishes in soapy water. That's not what I have in mind for them, they're fine for general cleaning.<br /><br />I usually wear medium, and these mediums fit well, snugly in most places. At 8-1/2" my palm is a bit larger than specified for medium in the size photo (upper left of the main produce page), but my fingers are short, even for these. I have some other mediums from this brand without the lining too; these are a little snugger because of it.<br /><br />I've noticed that this kind of glove, with the right and left fit, tends to be tight between the thumb and palm when the thumb is stretched out, but that hasn't interfered with their practical use. They may wear out faster there.<br /><br />Cleanbear is a recent brand from China.
