Vinyl gloves are made from synthetic materials, usually PVC, and are generally cheaper than latex gloves. They are also a good option for people with latex allergies. On the other hand, latex gloves are made from natural rubber and are more elastic and durable than vinyl gloves. Latex gloves are also more comfortable to wear for long periods.

In terms of performance, vinyl gloves are generally less effective than latex gloves. They are less resistant to tears, punctures, and chemicals. Vinyl gloves also do not provide the same level of sensitivity and dexterity as latex gloves. Latex gloves have a better grip and are more flexible, making them easier to handle.
