I only use them because I work in a food business and if I go out to your car and hand you your food would you want to see shit all between my nails after asking me did i just double check the bag haha?

I hate getting cuts and all that handicapped shit. I've used latex gloves enough times to know it's better than no gloves.

I never use gloves. Once I got something on my hands that had my knuckles cracked and raw for a month, never figured out what chemical or combination of chemicals did that. But I still don't use them.

I usually wear them, especially at the track. Everything gets hot as hell after a couple lap sessions. Not that you draggers need to worry about it.

Also track rubber pics up everything and you'll cut your hand dusting them off.
