What is a Hybrid Glove?

A hybrid glove is any type of glove combining various common glove materials, such as nitrile, vinyl, and latex. This usually consists of a majority of one material with a smaller percentage of another. 

By making gloves this way, manufacturers are able to deliver the best features of a certain material while mitigating some of the downsides. For example, nitrile is highly durable, but this durability can also make nitrile gloves uncomfortable. A manufacturer might create a hybrid nitrile glove to reintroduce comfortable stretchiness that wearers want, something that more closely resembles the flexibility of, say, a latex glove. 

This can allow the manufacturer to provide more flexibility in a nitrile glove without compromising on other features to get there, like the thickness of the glove. This allows the glove to keep most of its puncture resistance while making it more comfortable for the wearer.
