World Record: Longest time wearing gloves

Post by Someguy »

I wonder who holds the record for longest amount of time wearing a pair of gloves without taking them off. I'm not even sure this is documented.

But what about you? What's the longest you've gone wearing gloves without taking them off?

I've gone a whole night and part of day wearing gloves, probably 18 hours.

I went about 3 days with the same pair of disposable gloves on. My family had left for out of town and i tried to see how long i could go. My hands probably smelled like latex for a week after. :p I wouldn't recommend wearing them for more than a week because your hands will probably start to have mold and stuff growing on them.

Wish I could have the house to meself for more than the day.
But even then, I'd still be paranoid 'cos of living in a semi that the noises I hear that actually come from next door are in my house EVEN THOUGH nobody's due home for days. >.>

Most I've gone is about 9hrs :/
Most gloves got through in a day is about 30 but doctors can cap that in an hour.

For me it is about 12 hours when I sleep with my leather gloves on during weekend nights

I'm gonna try this tonight. I put on a pair of disposable latex gloves at 7:30 eastern time and I'll leave them on until one of them rips or the weekend is over. The gloves in question are Sentry powdered latex. Let's see how long they last.

This rather depends on what you mean by gloved? The record should probably stipulate not taking both off or either. Like most people here I've only managed about ten hours gloved continuously on both hands, perhaps a little longer if having to slip one glove off for a few seconds here and there to do something fiddly, and most of the time would have been overnight too as I sleep in my leather operas from time to time. I frequently manage 5-6 hours continuously in leather and rubber household gloves but that certainly won't win me any prizes :(
