When choosing a knit glove, you're opting for a category of inexpensive work gloves that offer a limited range of hand protection. Most knit gloves are designed for handling parts or food, performing non-specific maintenance tasks, or used as liners under other gloves. For simplified washing, some knit gloves can be ambidextrous. When selecting a knit glove, it's essential to choose the coating that best suits your intended use. Cotton, polyester, nylon, and Lycra® are the fibers most frequently assembled in the knitting process. Cotton offers the best breathability but produces more lint and is not as durable as others. Polyester fibers increase durability and produce little lint. Nylon fibers produce excessively little lint and are the most durable. Lycra® fibers promote shape retention and fit. The gauge of the fiber (its diameter) used in the knitting process will determine the weight, texture, and performance of the coating. The lower the gauge, the denser the fiber and, consequently, the coating will be. The result is a more durable glove but with less dexterity than other higher-gauge knit gloves. However, with advancements in fiber technology, higher gauges now offer better protection and improved dexterity.
