Matador Professional [thin re-usable Latex glove]

Post by tigga76 »

This glove is a latex glove and the declaration is a re-usable protective glove.
It is promoted as a protective glove for hair stylist.
At the first moment you think, that it is a surgical non-sterile glove. You can buy it in the sizes of surgical gloves (for my own I use 8.0) and you have an anatomic shape for left and right.
But the material is a little bit thicker than normal surgical gloves but quite thinner then normal householdgloves. You have also the nice chocolate like color, which I didn´t know from medical gloves.

Perhaps you know this glove from a video from the www. Especially from G-Love you can found some with this lovely gloves.

I have always loved Matador gloves - they are such great gloves to wear and the deep brown is a favourite colour of mine!

i used to absolutely love these - they were supple, lightweight, incredibly smooth inside and of course they are a lovely brown colour. They still look and fit much the same, but AFAIK all now have an inner "synthetic coating". Where the inside used to be super-smooth silky chlorinated pure rubber, it now has a rather rough feel. Easier to don with damp hands, sure, but a total passion-killer for me so far as the feel of these gloves is concerned. I so wish I'd stocked up on the original oh-so-horny versions of these a decade or two ago - ditto the Regent surgical gloves which look, fit and smell like no other, but now always have the dreaded Biogel inner coating. Oh for some gloves of auld lang syne...
