Totally overpriced essential healthcare item
Many of us relied on such products before COVID 19 was allowed to spiral out of controlIt’s obscene that health care professionals and those of us with medical needs have found it impossible to get reasonably priced PPEThese gloves are being charged at twice the price of six months ago, simply unacceptable, it’s a total con because as I say I have a medical need prior to COVID, and that’s not going away. I have to administer medication with disposable gloves, for years I was paying £6 for high quality box of 100 gloves, now impossible to source at that price.Whilst these gloves are quite strong, they’re too baggy for a medium size, my usual, totally unimpressed, when will peoples need be met before someone else’s greed? COVID is less likely to go away anytime soon as long as there are companies and individuals exploiting every8 effrontery their grubby profit marginsRant over, these gloves are mediocre at best and completely overpriced

Dose what they say on the tin
I ran out of my previous box of disposable gloves bought for the usual messy small jobs around the house and garden. I wear them to protect my hands from chemicals and the risk of infection. This time my priority was Covid 19 and reducing potential risks while shopping. They are quiet sturdy, snug for a medium fit, and a little harder to put on if your hands are hot. They seem quiet sturdy and do the job.

smaller than expected and other cons
Purchase medium sized but came up smaller than expected.. can just about fit my hands for protection against hair dye application or when doing quick household jobs (polishing, dusting etc).. can no way fit my partner's hands.These gloves get sweaty quite quickly and make the hands swell inside... not great.There is some sort of powdery coating inside which dries out the hands and nails... takes a few washes of the hands with soap to dissipate so adds to the drying effect.They tear easily, especially when trying to get them on and off.Would not repurchase. Not great value for money.Search goes on for better options!

Stay away from them!
THE WORST. WORST gloves ever. I have small hands and I usually wear size small gloves. Bought medium ones and they barely fit and they did rip when you pull them onto your hand! Not to mention that it was extremely difficult to remove them from the box itself in the first place. When I pulled on the glove gently to remove a single pair from the box, fingers of the gloves broke off!? Seriously!? I had to rip entire box open and just put gloves into another box to be able to take a pair whenever I needed them... Gloves were all tangled into a knot. For this price it was ridiculously poor product. Very disappointed.

Medium size is much too small for my medium hands.
These seem reasonably well made and as strong as these things get, but they are very small. I bought medium, which has been fine for all the other disposable gloves I've purchased over the last year, but these 'medium' are almost impossible for me to get on they are so tight. On a better note they do seem reasonably strong compared to some others I've bought.

Take care putting them on
Arrived on time. The first pair I used I ripped putting them on. I have medium sized hands, no where near large. As long as you take care putting them on they are fine, do the job. I used them to go shopping, wore them for around 2 hours and my hands were very sweaty when I took them off. Ok in short bursts.

Over priced, Weak and Contaminated
To start off with this isn’t the brand shown in the listing of “Merrimen” these are “Kingfisher”. They are not very strong either like listed. The first couple of gloves have been fine but then we pulled out the one in the picture... I understand these aren’t medical grade gloves (Although for the price you’d expect it to be) but the quality control at Kingfisher clearly isn’t very good 👎🏻

Does the Job
Used for general work about the house, cleaning, painting, car cleaning, light gardening etc. Performed well but sizing, is an issue. Like many customers I found that “medium” size was in fact small and putting the gloves on and taking off was difficult. This problem should be addressed. Recommended with reservations.
