Sweet 16 Second Round, Games 3 & 4

First Matchup:







ILHD vs TLF





In the matchup between our #1 seed Gloveworks HD Latex (ILHD), and the #4 seed Gloveworks Powder-Free Latex (TLF), size mattered. Both competitors came to the game sporting the fact they are Powder-Free, Chlorinated and Fully Textured. The advantage, however, went to the ILHD with their staggering 8mil thickness - double the mil of the TLF. As the game progressed the ILHD never relented and proved that the extra thickness does increase endurance without affecting dexterity. It was clear from the beginning of this match that the Gloveworks HD Latex were going home with the win. Their next game will be in the Elite Eight on Monday, March 28th.

Winner: Gloveworks HD Latex (ILHD)



Second Matchup:





GPPFT vs IVPF






In the first game of latex vs vinyl in this tournament, many people were torn on who would be the favorite. While the #3 seed GlovePlus Powder-Free Latex (GPPFT) boasts being Powder-Free, Fully Textured and Exam Grade, the #2 seed GlovePlus Powder-Free Vinyl (IVPF) could compete being Latex-Free, Powder-Free, and being Industrial Grade. All throughout the match we watched these two rivals go back and forth. It was only until the last quarter that we noticed that the high-rising latex price increases began to take their toll on GPPFT. So far the closest match of the tournament, IVPF was barely able to edge out their competition. Living to play another day, GlovePlus Powder-Free Vinyl play their next match on Monday, March 28th.

Winner: GlovePlus Powder-Free Vinyl (IVPF)
