Work-glove sizes and materials

Choose gloves for the task and the manufacturer’s stated protection, then use that brand’s sizing chart. Gardening, general handling, wet work and other tasks can call for different materials and documented performance. A coating colour or a thick appearance does not establish cut, chemical or electrical protection. Check whether a listing describes disposable gloves, reusable handling gloves or a specialist product. When comparing multipacks, count pairs separately from individual gloves so the quantities remain meaningful.
