Gents, if I may weigh in here . . . Is the issue with the chemicals (finishes) breaking down the latex or might it perhaps be the age? As some have pointed out, a box of gloves will often last a long time. As a volunteer firefighter/EMT, I often responded directly to medical calls and hence would keep a handful of latex gloves in the door pocket of my truck. I quickly found out that – and especially so in a hot Kansas summer – the gloves deteriorated form the heat of a locked vehicle. I had never thought of that previously. We were always going through boxes of gloves at the fire station, but not so fast was I going through my door pocket supply. And the heat made it worse. So the question may need to be asked: “Just how old are the gloves” rather than their material. Just a thought for your consideration . . . Cheers! As soon as you put these gloves on they would snap and blow out a finger or a wrist cuff. These were not knock-off or cheapo gloves. These were the good ones. Needless to say, I kept fewer gloves in the door and replaced them more often to solve the problem. -- Dave; Lansing, Kansas |
