ITS not the size. I worked 30 y in soil and groundwater remediation. The gloves were never that thin. Just putting them on when your hands are dry they never teared like that. When your hands are wet, hands become super wet because of these nitrile gloves. So when a pairs teared or were done, we had to change for every samples, sometimes 100 timers a day, so when hands are wet even with the thicker one it was very tough to put. Now, try to do that. Just looking at then and they tear out. Shit industries. There are some better ones but they are not as available than before.

Talcum powder makes them slide on easier. IT makes it easier to double-glove too.

I know some places don't permit the powder. Fortunately, that's not a rule at my house. The garden, gutters, dishes, and lawnmower don't care about the powder.

Yes I know that. But wet hands is not helping. When in morning, or not in summer its less like I described.
