Fisherman’s knit glove – 70% nylon, 30% polyester white

Description

When choosing string knit gloves, you are choosing from a category of low-cost work gloves that offer a limited range of hand protection. Most string knit gloves are designed for parts handling, food handling, non-task specific maintenance, or to be used as glove liners. To simplify the laundering process some string knits may be ambidextrous. When selecting string knit gloves, it is important to select a liner that best suits the application. Cotton, polyester, nylon and Lycra? are common fibers to blend in the knitting process. Cotton offers the best breathability, but produces more lint and is not as durable. Polyester fibers increase glove durability and are low-linting. Nylon fibers are extremely low-linting and are the most durable fiber. Lycra? fibers enhance form and fit. The fiber gauge (diameter of the fiber) used in the knitting process will determine the weight, feel, and performance of the liner. The lower the gauge the thicker the fiber and consequently the liner. Logically, this creates a more durable glove with less dexterity than comparable higher gauge knit gloves. However, with advances in fiber technology higher gauges now offer better protection and have better dexterity.
