PACIFIC PPE 2 Pairs Latex Chemical Resistant Gloves, Heavy Duty Industrial Rubber Gloves, 28 mil, 12.6", Large

Didn’t last long. I was stripping paint and needed to use some zylene in a few tight areas - these gloves protected my hands but when I went to take them off, the tip of the finger came right off, too. One use.

I’ve got all kinds of protective gloves, including industrial nitrile. They don’t always protect my hands as well as my Pacific PVC gloves, which I used all summer. These Pacific PPE are latex gloves that are chemical-resistant. The others I generally use when I’m working around oil or caustic products, but these I can use with things like paint thinners and stripping compounds. I won’t have to worry about any chemical burns.Anyone can use these gloves for what they want, including gardening and car maintenance. I do like to have good gloves on that won’t tear when I’m working with chemicals. These are made of a durable latex. The PPE simply stands for Personal Protective Equipment, which these certainly fit the category. They are unlined while the others I have were lined with cotton. These gloves are very comfortable, although a bit large for me. It doesn’t matter because I won’t be doing any work that requires fine motor skills.The palm and finger portion of the gloves are textured. This makes for a nice non-slip grip for whatever I’m holding. The cuffs are wide and covered my wrist and part of my forearm. They are quite thick and unlikely to tear unless cut by a sharp implement. I really liked the other Pacific gloves I had and these two pairs will join them. A very high-quality glove that’s worth investing in if you work with any chemicals. They have a shelf life of thirty-six months.

These are good all-around reusable latex gloves. Inside coating made putting gloves on and off very easy. Nice to use for spraying insecticides or hand washing a car when it’s a little cold out. Now on to sizing…I do understand everyone’s hands are slightly different, and generally these fit fine for me, but here’s what I’ve learned about sizing with this particular brand:I seem to have longer fingers and thumb so in order to avoid having my fingers bottom out in a glove I may opt for a larger size. In regular mechanics gloves and many other kinds I’ll usually wear an XL. Well, Pacific also makes an oil resistant glove that is PVC coated and blue in color and I ordered one in an XXL. That was so large I could almost fit two of my hands in there. So on these gloves I got a size Large, thinking maybe they just run way over-sized, but a large here is somewhat restrictive to my fingers moving. The webspace area (part between your fingers or index and thumb) of the glove was too shallow for my longer fingers and thumb, but in diameter around my fingers fit nicely, allowing somewhat better dexterity. They did, however fit my wife’s hands pretty well.For reference, my middle fingers are 3.5” long, palm circumference is 8.5” relaxed or 9” making a fist, ring finger is 11 ring size I believe.

I specifically got these for working with muriatic acid, which comes with about a million warnings not to expose any part of your skin to the acid or you'll melt (or something that dire).After having received and trying out the gloves, I think they might be overkill, but they certainly are effective for dealing with corrosive and dangerous materials.First of all they look nothing like the item pictures on Amazon. I have included a picture of me trying to highlight he difference, but they are not textured throughout the glove (but theya re on the fingers and palm, giving a better grip. They are much more flexible in real life than they appear in the photo, and the gloves appear to be simply longer than what was pictured with a smooth edge instead of a jagged edge.I ordered a large because that's typically what I wear in a normal glove, and was not disappointed. They fit relatively well.During overall use, I had no negative issues at all. I could easily switch between large bottles of acids and easily take the tops on and off without any issues.I didn't have the fine motor skills to type or use my phone, but unscrewing and screwing tops back on, was relatively easy. They worked as well as I would possibly expect them to.

Note: These are LATEX gloves. These are awesome gloves and we find them easier to get off than the lighter-weight gloves. The latex is more flexible, thick, and sturdy than these gloves in nitrile, imo.These are longer than the heavy-weight chemical resistant Pacific PPE gloves, more like the lighter weight gloves meant for dish washing, chores, etc. These are heavy duty. They grip well and the Large fit me great - an average woman with average-sized hands who usually wears a medium in gloves, but they're a bit too tight on my husband, a large man with large hands. He needs the XL. I use these gloves for bleaching up the groceries and other items coming into the house during this pandemic.As the parent of kiddos with autism, there are causes near and dear to my heart.
