I was in a rush when i posted this. The red pair are pretty heavy duty and are nitrile/pvc. the blue and white are just typical nitrile dipped gloves, medium thickness like yardwork/cleanup type glove.

The blue and black are probably going to get a lot of use with oil changes. they are nitrile, and fairly thin but seem strong. they are also coated on both sides so i think they will be good for the mess i like to make when changing oil.


Here is a link for the samples. TOTALLY FREE!:thumbup:

I just got an email that my samples have been shipped. They had to remove a pair of stainless cut resistant sleeves due to the price, but that seemed too good to be true as they were expensive (but were on the list). I will post some pics when they arrive.

Just did my request, got some long solvent gloves, some insulated gloves for use in the farm during the winter and a few others. We shall see what I actually get. I think I requested 6 different styles, didn't know when to stop. :)

Yeah I know and no info on the list on what part number goes to what!

Anyone know if there are "Mechanix" type gloves? I wear that type when cording firewood and have already worn through 2 pairs in the last couple wears.

Wow, i have no idea what glove to choose. There are so many.

Just placed my order for 4 types but i didnt get the email it said it sent me. Im more concerned with thermal general purpose for winder shop work than anything else. I asked for a pair of cut resistant gloves also.

I just ordered the second from largest size so we will see. I wonder if the Showa salesman are wising up to this? I assume this is not meant for hobbyists.

For sizing, there are charts on the internet that'll tell you.

I'm old enough to remember when gloves were sized :)

Picked about 5. Did size 9 thinking that would be close to "large". No email yet though..

Once this gets passed around to enough forums - I imagine they'll have to shut it down.

Medexpress was giving away free nitrile gloves (100 packs). Last I checked they had to be requested by phone. I wasn't happy with the quality, so I never ordered from them afterwards.

I have normal size hands and I wear a 10 or 11, which means large or x large for most gloves if they don't size by number.
9 is roughly a medium.

thanks for the link. i ordered gloves to use in the safety clean machine, as well as a heat resistant pair that may end up for welding or exhaust work. i forget the other 3 type I requested.

Waiting as well. How many have had salesmen call their houses/companies?
Also; remember that you have to click the link provided in your email from them to activate request.
