Thin OR Thick Disposable Gloves?

We rely on our hands daily which is why it’s crucial to select the best hand protection for your specific use case. Nitrile gloves come in different gauges or thickness levels. They are measured in mils. Thickness levels can range from 2.2 to 8 mil thick for medical- and industrial-grade gloves. While this can seem like a small range of difference, it can significantly impact dexterity, protection, and how the gloves feel.

Thicker gloves will provide more of a barrier, but you will not feel as many fine details through them. Whether you choose thinner gloves or thicker gloves of at least 6 mils will depend on why you need nitrile gloves in the first place.

When choosing glove thickness, it’s not as simple as going with the highest number. The choice depends on what you're handling and how much you're willing to spend.
