Costco carrying latex exam gloves at a great price
Just came from a shopping trip at Costco, and found Kimberly-Clark Safeskin PF Preferred powder-free latex exam gloves at a great price: US $8.69 for 2 boxes of 100 gloves each. They're comfortable, durable, and fit very well. They're non-sterile, but unless you're doing emergency field surgery (and maybe even then, if you have access to antibiotics), they're more than adequate for your field medical kit.

Re: the Costco gloves, I don't know what the shelf life of latex is. I'm sure that life is greater under conditions of no UV (sun) exposure and moderate temperatures. Look for the gloves near the vitamin and/or pharmacy section in your local Costco.
Patri Friedman wrote the NOLS Wilderness EMT Class Review; I'm sure he'll be glad to hear he had some influence on your training decisions.
