FAQ — Choosing the Right Coated Glove

What’s the strongest coating?

Nitrile micro‑foam lasts longest in wet/oily settings, latex has the stickiest dry grip, and polyurethane offers the best dexterity.

Can I wash coated gloves?

Yes—machine‑wash cold and hang dry. Expect up to 10 wash cycles before noticeable wear.

How do I find my size?

Measure around the widest part of your palm:

  • 7" = Small   8" = Medium   9" = Large   10"+ = XL

Latex allergy—what are my options?

Choose the G‑Grip (nitrile) or P‑Grip (polyurethane); both are 100 % latex‑free.
