I actually use cotton inspection gloves (from Grainger) in winter as a lining for the nitrile when I work outside. I'm allergic to latex so nitrile is a good substitute. And when handling environmental contaminants, hydrocarbons, and soil and water samples, I always wear them.

I believe my hubby wears nitrile as he works with alot of carcinogens. The liners that he wears are really thick, almost the consistancy of garden gloves. I have a latex allergy, so I have to wear vinyl gloves.
