I am an AARP member trying to improve my fitness level... any way I can. These resistance gloves really increase my pool workouts. I've taken two strokes off my pool length and several minutes off my 1 K time so far.  I can tell I'm working harder and it feels GOOD. However, the sizing is a bit strange. The hand/wrist diameter is perfect for a medium but the thumb/index finger are so long they completely cover mine. Because the web is at the end of the fingertips, it makes grasping a buoy or doing pull-ups difficult. And I have "long, piano-playing" fingers!

I chose the black ones to match my unitard

I've used them three times now, and the threading that separates the fingers on one hand is coming apart already. I would expect something that is used for athletic training would be double-stitched, but this is not.

Aside from that aspect, the gloves fit well. The open fingers are a plus. Easy to use, and the resistance added is noticeable but not overly so as with paddles. Thus likelihood of shoulder injuries are decreased.

I use the gloves with and without a pull buoy to build strength in my shoulders and to improve stroke quality.  They work !

The gloves go on easier when wet and are less cumbersome than paddles.

Water is retained in the material and unless you have a place for the gloves to drain while drying, this can be a problem

The wrist is narrower and the cuff shorter than TYR, my previous brand, of the same size. The gloves, however, appear to be sturdy and of good quality.  I use them in my water arobics class.This brand would be a better choice for a thinner, non arthritic hand.

Very comfortable in the water.
