Yeah but I've seen people all the time doing mechanic work wearing nitrile gloves, so I thought I'd try it. Hands felt so nasty and gross after a very short time. I'd rather get greasy and clean off said grease than wear non-breathable gloves. I don't see how people wear them for extended periods of time, like TSA workers and such.
For the record I have done ALL mechanic work on my Acura Integra that I've owned since 2001 and have put over 230K miles on myself. I usually wear Mechanix gloves, but sometimes have to shed them for dexterity purposes. I tried nitrile gloves to try to retain some dexterity, but just couldn't keep them on.
