<p class="MsoNormal">There are lots of options, but for years we’ve been using TechNitrile TN2000 Series gloves (both white and blue) from TechNiGlove International. Like most alternatives, they have microtextured fingertips, which are not visible to the naked
eye, but we’ve been happy with them. I don’t recall any complaints about grip. They are available through various suppliers.<o:p></o:p></p>

use the <b>Kimberly-Clark Professional™ Kimtech™ Pure G3 Cleanroom NXT™ Nitrile Gloves.
</b>Besides the pros that this G3 type is less expensive and releases less particles than the G5 blue ones, some users noticed the difference in the grip strength of these two. The G3 has a smooth finish while the G5 blue has a more coarse finish which some
users think has provided more grip strength. </span><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
