I used to go back and forth between different variations of nitrile gloves to keep my hands clean and thicker Mechanix knock-off gloves to protect from knuckle scrapes. The problem I had is that the heavier gloves would eventually get soaked with oil, brake fluid, or diesel fuel and get my hands impregnated with it every time i put the gloves on. The thinner gloves are great for keeping various chemicals off of my hands but tear pretty quickly. Now I've gone to wearing the thin cheap nitrile gloves and a pair of work gloves over them. It works out great and I can stop walking around with greasy fingernails and stop adding to the collection of scars on my hands.
