I'm not sure why they (Eagle One) didn't cover the entire side of the mit? No matter. The polymer appears to be layed on thicker on the mit than it is on the sponge and it has very good coverage. You cannot see through the polymer to the orange sponge underneath. The mit has a nice thick cushioned feel to it. I used it yesterday. I did half of my wifes suv hood with the Nano Med sponge and the other half with the Eagle One mit. Her suv has never been decon before. After comparing the two sides I could still feel some contamination on the sponge side. I redid with the mit and it picked up the rest of the grit. I used onr as lube. The mit was on sale for $21.00 out the door. For the money not a bad deal and no shipping wait or charge and it woked as I expected it to. Someone that has the more expensive 'boutique' brands should do a comparo. This is my first go 'round with the mit/towel and I do like it better than the sponge.
