Nitrile gloves are more effective than latex. Some solvents will go right through latex and some of them will destroy it in a matter of seconds. They are also more resistant to puncture and abrasion. Unfortunately solvents will eventually get through Nitrile but it takes a lot longer.

Thee are more expensive per glove but they last longer. I wait until HF puts them on sale at a good price and stock up.

I also keep Nitrile gloves under the seat on my bike. They take up almost no room and keep you from getting nasty when you need to make a roadside adjustment in the middle of no where.
