Well did you guys think about powder they use to keep nitrile gloves dry? That would have to be washed out. Also gloves in storage (folder and crumpled) tend to dry up and become very fragile so frequency of change and maintanance increases very much. I carry two pairs in my pouch on my belt all the time and I know that after a month or so they are more delicate and prone to tear than gloves straight out of the box.
