To begin with, above is a pair of gloves. On the left is the left-handed glove. |

For comparison, the inverted glove has been rolled over. The tear is not visible, which illustrates an important point. A glove that has "handedness" has a distinct palm side and a distinct backhand side. Common single-use rubber gloves which are used for example in clinical, laboratory, and food-prep settings are not like the gloves shown above: they fit either hand, and if they are inverted they still fit either hand. Such gloves are not chiral. That is, they are neither right- nor left-handed gloves. |

I hope this has been illustrative.
