Vinyl gloves are disposable gloves made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC), a synthetic plastic.

They're cheaper than latex or nitrile alternatives but offer less durability and flexibility.

Common in food service, light cleaning, and settings where latex allergies are a concern: The cafeteria workers wore vinyl gloves while serving.
