I've been using the elasticated cloth backed but rubbery front type ones and find them a lot better than the latex ones, which i hardly use at all now. Maybe for washing and that's about it.
Not sure how much they cost as a friend works at [insert large car manufacturer here] and grabs me a handful whenever he can, but they're much better and last longer, so i'd buy them if i had to. Still have a decent amount of feel with them too.
Not these specific ones, but this type;

Not personally a fan of those elastic/pu combo gloves - I do wear them for MOT testing, but only because they're properly reusable, but they wouldn't offer me enough feel for actual spannering and liquids soak through the backs, plus they deteriorate over time and lose a lot of flexibility.
My preference is for nitrile over weaker latex, I usually use black, but one of my boys swears by the extra tough orange (a la Ed China) and, to be fair, he uses less gloves than the rest of us, often only one pair a day, so he's getting VfM for the extra he spends per box.
Pro tips: latex gloves deteriorate in the box, so if you aren't using them all the time, the longer you have them, the more brittle they become - I've got a box at home that's been there for a year and I can't put them on without ripping them now.
Also, buy a size larger than you normally need, the tighter they fit, the more prone they are to tearing. ____________________ Things get better with age; I'm close to being magnificent........

The ones linked above are generic and can be gotten just about anywhere but the problem I found is that when it comes to lubricating things they prove pointless because, for example, copper grease is a pain in the arse so moved to disposable ones instead. I'd pay £1 for them at my local tool shop so don't over pay.
Non-powered latex gloves are ideal but cost me £4.99 for 100 pairs (again at local tool shop).
Powered gloves are the cheaper option with 100 pairs costing £2.99 (local tool shop again).
When I worked on bikes in a "professional" dealership I used, and loved, these: https://www.screwfix.com/p/stanley-extreme-performance-gloves-grey-large/6064f ____________________ The do it all, T̶h̶e̶ ̶b̶r̶o̶k̶e̶n̶ ̶o̶n̶e̶,̶ ̶T̶h̶e̶ ̶b̶i̶g̶ ̶l̶u̶m̶p̶,̶ ̶C̶h̶o̶n̶g̶ ̶N̶o̶o̶d̶l̶e̶ |

Powder free nitrile gloves - they're resistant to most workshop solvents, greases and oils including petrol and are reasonably tough. |

Another vote for nitrile, I just use the blue ones which are cheap from Screwfix and they work just fine. Obviously if you snag yourself on something sharp, they'll probably rip, but I take that as a reminder that I should be more careful. ____________________ TG. |
