i don’t think the silicon are breathable. they are made for hand moisturizing.
The vinyl gloves are like the ones people use when decorating cakes. they are a little loose, but super thin. they are probably not breathable.

Not where I am, all 3 hospitals I cover boast about a latex free environment. My wife is actually allergic to latex as apparently many are so it makes sense that they moved to Nitrile. I know what you mean about sticky arms, that’s why I use the ones I do. They are 12 inches long and that extended cuff makes a big difference to me.

@joheimgrohen I’m still baffled by the possibility that I won’t be able to touch the buttons anymore

Handling the buds I’m fine, holding onto branches for hours, that’s when the headache hits. Other than harvest, I don’t use gloves.

ok, so i just trimmed this leafy larf of an fastbuds auto. it smells good.
it took me 1 hour to trim 20 grams of the worst looking bud i ever grew.
with the silicone gloves there was absolutely no residue picked up from the buds. the gloves are perfectly clean.

Ah, less worse, I guess… but very interesting !!! Thanks for sharing… I hadn’t imagined that this kind of reaction could exist.
No one harvest their gloves lol
Give the fingers a stretch…
Latex has more stretch but nitrile has more than enough for it to pop off.
A tub of talcum powder is handy to have around for taking the stickiness from your hands with a quick rub, it also helps with putting on gloves.

I should be on a harvest crew tomorrow. taking down an entire room. I will throw away ( 
) at LEAST a dozen pairs of gloves that look like that or worse by the end of the day. I dont even wanna think of the cow patties I will step on (bud that hit the floor).
