Rubber Gloves are thin household gloves made for washing dishes and cleaning. They are a light accessory worn on the hands. They give a little warmth and a small amount of scratch protection.
They weigh just 0.1, so they cost almost nothing to carry. Their main use is as a stand in until better gloves turn up. Their main cost is how little they protect against zombies. They are common in laundry rooms, janitor rooms and labs, and sanitation workers wear them. The Tailor is the best occupation for accessories. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
Rubber Gloves are worn in the Hands slot and cover both hands. They take a little of the chill off cold hands. They block a little under a third of the wind.
Against zombies they stop only about one scratch in twenty on the hands. Leather Gloves are a clear step up. They stop about a third of scratches and some bites, and keep the hands much warmer. Plain Gloves give the same scratch protection as Rubber Gloves, but they are far warmer.
They take the Hands slot, so only one pair of gloves fits at a time. They also clash with arm and hand pieces worn on either side, and with full body suits.
Locations
Rubber Gloves are a common find in cleaning and work spaces. Counters and cupboards in laundry rooms, prison laundries and prisoner belongings rooms hold them over a third of the time. Drug lab wardrobes, laboratory desks and grocery store shelves are just as good. Janitor rooms, school storage, gas station storage and bathroom shelves hold them about one time in four. Zombies in sanitation outfits and exterminator suits often wear them. General stores and pharmacies also stock them on shelves.
