Kirkland Nitrile Exam Gloves Review

The Kirkland Nitrile Exam Gloves protects your hands from potential damage when performing any activities that involve coming into contact with something dirty, non-sanitary, potentially toxic, or harmful. They have many uses ranging from cleaning your home with cleaning agents to handling drugs in a pharmaceutical setting. They are generally latex and powder free and fit comfortably in your hands. I use the gloves for many things like taking out the garbage, checking my car’s oil and tire pressure, or cleaning my bathroom and toilet area. I generally re-used them until there is a tare/rip in the gloves or they are overly soiled. From my experience, the gloves last about a few months before there is a hole or they are ripped, if they are not overly used. They are durable and flexible which allow my fingers to reach or grab items when doing cleaning chores.

Features and Benefits: Understanding What Sets Kirkland Gloves Apart

There are different kinds of gloves available: nitrile, latex, and vinyl. Each kind of glove has their own advantages and disadvantages.

Nitrile gloves have a stronger resistance to chemicals and punctures. They are made from synthetic nitrile butadiene rubber. The gloves can fit comfortably in your hands which helps to provide dexterity and precision when performing tasks. They are latex free and will not give people any latex-related allergies. The Kirkland nitrile gloves are also powder-free which helps to prevent residue on the hands. They can last for a while and can be used for a long time. However, they can be expensive and not very biodegradable.

Latex gloves provide good protection against bacteria, viruses, and body fluids. However, it could be hard to see any punctures on the gloves. That is why some medical professionals use two pairs of latex gloves or do “double gloving” to provide better protection. The gloves provide dexterity, allowing the fingers to be moved freely. They are biodegradable because they are made from natural rubber fiber. However, they can cause an allergy for those who are sensitive/allergic to latex.

Vinyl gloves offers protection when performing low risk tasks such as cleaning, preparing foods, washing, or hair styling. They are not resistant against more hazardous chemicals or to punctures. They do not last as long as nitrile or latex gloves. They are latex-free so they can be used by people with latex-allergies. Since they are made of synthetic PVC (Polyvinyl chloride), it enables them to have a longer shelf-life and are inexpensive.

Selecting the Right Gloves for Your Needs: A Buyer’s Guide to Kirkland Nitrile Gloves

Kirkland Nitrile Gloves come in different sizes ranging from small, medium, and large nitrile gloves.

They can be worn on left or right hands. I bought the large size because I think my hands are big, but you determine the right hand size by using the hand measurement on the box. I can wear them for hours and it still feels comfortable on my hands. The only downside is that sweat may accumulate in the gloves after using them for more than an hour.

These gloves can be stored at a cool, dry place that is away from sunlight. I store these gloves in my bathroom closet or on the shelf in the garage. They are single-use gloves that can be thrown in the trash after use. I re-use these gloves for taking out the trash and throw them out if there any rips or holes present.

The Kirkland Nitrile Gloves are competitively priced. They are sold from Costco, but can be bought from online retailers. They can be more expensive than latex or vinyl gloves. There are other brands of nitrile gloves like MedPride and ForPro availble on online retailers. I have not tried those brands, but based on the current reviews on Amazon they seem like good choices as well. Overall, the Kirkland Nitrile gloves are good choice to use for your hands if you need to do any work related activity that may expose your hands to dirt and/or chemicals.
