Good question BTW. I can't imagine 3 mill good for anything. I don't remember the mill thickness exactly. I have 3 thicknesses (5, 7, 9?) on the shelf, used based on the task at hand. I like the better feel the thinner gloves provide. When using the thinner gloves I have, its normally for a short term task, and being so cheap, I just toss them. If they break, I picked the wrong thickness. BTW, they do not have multi year shelf life.

Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
