TM 10-8415-209-10 TM 8415-10/2 The glove set consists of an outer glove for chemical protection and an inner cotton liner for perspiration absorption. The liners can be worn on either hand.  When engaged in heavy work, or when in cold weather, standard leather work gloves or black shells should be worn over the chemical protective gloves.  The gloves provide protection from chemical  agents,  and  insect  vectors  as  long  as  they  remain  free  of  damage  and/or  degradation.    Refer  to  FM  3- 4/FMFM 11-9 for protective capabilities. The  gloves  are  issued  in  three  thicknesses:  7,  14,  and  25  milt  The  7  mil  glove  set  is  used  by  soldiers  such  as medical,  teletypists,  and  electronic  repair  personnel  who  require  extreme  tactility  and/or  sensitivity  and  will  not expose  the  gloves  to  harsh  treatment.    The  14  mil  is  used  by  soldiers  such  as  aviators,  vehicle  mechanics,  and weapon crews who require tactility and sensitivity and will not expose the gloves to harsh treatment.  Use of the more durable 25 mil glove is for soldiers who Perform close combat tasks and other types of heavy labor. Exposure  of  the  gloves  to  DS2,  break-free,  antiseize  compound  or  other  petroleum  based  products  attacks  the rubber (gloves become sticky) and degrades their performance.  Contact with these materials should be avoided. 1-21
