Aging Characteristics
The main criteria is the absence of pinholes (water tightness) in the gloves. Also, of growing importance are the water-extractable protein content and powder level which is believed to be the cause of latex allergies in some users.

Gloves with good aging characteristics are important since most gloves are used after being stored for several months. Finally, the aesthetic appeal of color, feel, non-defects, good fit and odor are important.
