Goldilocks gloves, lined and unlined, 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 disposable ones. I can actually type with these (if a little clumsily), and clean a toilet with them without getting a leak.<br /><br />This set lets you try a couple pairs with a cotton lining (flocking) and a couple pairs without. I prefer the lining, makes it easier to get the gloves on and off, absorbs a little sweat, and may strengthen the glove. The lining can be harder to clean, though, so some prefer the unlined for repeated use or for use with nasty substances that might get in and have to be completely washed out for reuse.<br /><br />The solid color are the lined ones, the bicolored unlined. Besides that difference, the bicolored seem thinner (maybe because of the lack of lining) except at the darker-colored parts, which are beefed up to at least match the solids.<br /><br />They both grip fairly well, not quite as well as bare hands for some things, slightly better than some of the similar gloves I've tried out.<br /><br />I usually wear medium, and these mediums fit well, snugly. My palm is towards the large end of the large size according to the size chart in one of the Amazon photos (3.5"), but the medium is actually a little larger than some very similar mediums I've got from other brands.<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 />Made in China.
