[a] = Due to the construction of these gloves, they were subjected to a preliminary test by partially filling the inside of the glove with water. Seepage developed in the seam areas of the fingers of all these models. Consequently, pathogen tests were conducted on only two gloves from each model.
Tear Resistance: Higher tear resistance is more desirable, with higher carriage weights.
N/A: Not Applicable
