Assessed on the standards the product is actually certified to and on how the format fits a working shift, by Steven Eaton, WC Safety editor.
Rating shown is the Amazon customer rating at the time of writing, not our own score. Specification-based assessment by Steven Eaton, WC Safety Editorial, from the published SAS Safety listing and ANSI/ISEA 105 hand-protection ratings. We have not hands-on or laboratory-tested this product.
Thickster is the outlier in this glove set: 14-mil latex β several times a standard disposable's thickness β in a powdered finish, built for rough single-use work that would shred exam gloves instantly. It is effectively a disposable work glove rather than an exam glove.
sas safety thickster powdered latex disposable gloves β what the listing actually specifies
Key details from the SAS Safety listing
A cut level is not a puncture, chemical or heat rating. ANSI/ISEA 105 scores those hazards on separate scales, and a glove chosen for blade contact can be the wrong glove for a needle, a solvent or a hot part. Anyone with a latex allergy must also check the liner and the coating material, not just the outer surface.

Where this model fits
Its lane is heavy cleanup, demolition-adjacent handling, and rough dry work by latex-tolerant users. The powder and the allergen load both argue against it in clean or food settings β and everywhere latex allergy is unmanaged.
Category guidance lives in our disposable glove selection guide and the material comparison reference; sizing is covered by the glove size chart.
How we assess this product
WC Safety is an independent PPE review and research site. We do not sell, ship, or stock anything, and we have not physically tested this latex glove. What we do is read the published SAS Safety specification against the governing standard, flag what the listing does and does not state, and place the product in context next to the alternatives we cover. Where a number matters for compliance - a rating, a class, a temperature, a voltage - we take it from the manufacturer listing and expect you to confirm it on the live listing before you buy. The star rating on this page belongs to Amazon customers, not to us. Read more across our anti-vibration gloves and workplace PPE coverage.

What to check before you buy
- Latex allergy risk
- Natural rubber latex proteins can cause allergic reactions ranging from contact dermatitis to systemic responses. Where allergy is a concern, nitrile is the usual substitute.
- Powder-free only
- The FDA banned powdered patient examination gloves and powdered surgeons gloves in the US in 2017, in part because powder carries latex protein into the air.
- Exam grade versus industrial
- Medical examination gloves are cleared by the FDA against defined criteria; industrial-grade gloves are not held to the same requirements.
- Chemical limits
- Latex handles water-based chemicals and many acids and bases reasonably, but performs poorly against oils and many solvents where nitrile is the better choice.

Common questions about this model
What is a 14-mil glove for?
Mechanical survival: abrasion, snag, and rough surfaces that destroy 4-6 mil gloves in seconds. It trades nearly all fine touch for durability β a disposable answer to tasks between exam gloves and leather.
Why is this glove powdered?
Donning ease on a thick glove: heavy latex grips skin, and powder solves it cheaply. The cost is powder contamination and elevated allergen transfer β which is why powder persists only in rough-work niches like this one.
Is powdered latex still allowed?
In industrial use, yes β the FDA ban covers medical gloves. Programs still avoid powder anywhere cleanliness, food, or sensitized workers are in play; treat this SKU as a rough-work specialist, not a general stock item.
