Orca Swimming Gloves

I bought these because the pools are closed down and I need to keep swimming. The water temperature in the lakes has been between 48 an 55 degrees and they have kept my hands fairly warm for 45 minute swims.

I'm not sure what is going on with these, but they immediately take on water and then are soggy and bulky, thus dragging my hands down in in the water. After two laps, one glove was falling off. I assumed they are supposed to be water tight...I did measure my hand first before ordering, so it's not the wrong size.

These fit great and are super comfortable. Seem like high quality. Keep my hands warm in cold water swims.
