PIP MaxiFlex G-Tek Ultimate Nitrile Coated Work Gloves (34-874)

Micro-foam nitrile is a nitrile coating applied with tiny air pockets in the matrix, creating a textured surface that grips dry and lightly oily surfaces better than smooth nitrile. It is also more breathable than solid nitrile. For precision assembly and inspection work, micro-foam provides better tactile feedback and sweat management than traditional smooth-coat gloves.

The 34-874 uses an 18-gauge nylon/spandex liner which provides ANSI A1 cut resistance — the lowest level, suitable for basic abrasion protection only. It is not intended for blade, metal-edge, or glass-handling tasks. For cut-rated applications, see our cut-resistant gloves collection.

Yes — PIP model 34-874 is the MaxiFlex G-Tek Ultimate. The "34" prefix denotes PIP's coated work glove line; the 34-874 is the Ultimate variant with micro-foam nitrile on an 18-gauge liner. It is distinct from the 34-800 (MaxiFoam, thicker coating) and the 34-844 (Endurance, 13-gauge liner).

Yes. The nitrile coating is latex-free and food-contact safe. MaxiFlex G-Tek is commonly used in food packaging and processing environments where dexterity and grip are needed. For environments requiring full-disposable sanitary gloves, the AMMEX 3 mil Food Safe is the better choice.

MaxiFlex G-Tek is designed for precision and dexterity — the 18-gauge liner and micro-foam coating are optimized for electronics, inspection, and packaging tasks. Grease Monkey uses a thicker nitrile palm coating on a heavier liner, better suited for automotive, rough-surface, and DIY work where durability outweighs dexterity.

PIP MaxiFlex G-Tek Ultimate 34-874 is available in Small through X-Large. Size through the Amazon product listing by choosing your standard glove size. The 18-gauge seamless knit conforms to hand shape without restriction.

Yes. The 34-874 uses a 100% nitrile coating with no natural rubber latex. The liner is nylon/spandex. Safe for users with Type I latex allergy.

Under light assembly or inspection conditions, MaxiFlex G-Tek typically lasts 1–3 weeks of daily use before the micro-foam coating shows wear. For heavy abrasion tasks the coating degrades faster. They are machine washable — cold, gentle cycle — which extends usable life.
