Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

First of all, many thanks to all the other reviewers who mentioned that these run large. I wear a XL glove, so I was going to order this in XL. Very glad I didn't - the L size fits just fine, and now that I have one, it's clear the XL would have been too big. That tip from the other reviewers saved me some return postage - thanks! In terms of the actual glove, it's great. Fits fine, and appears well made. Very secure velcro closure on the wrist. I use mine for aqua aerobics and to add a "boost" to my swimming workouts. I've used the plastic hand paddle in the past - they are helpful in giving more resistance, but are rather awkward to use. These - if you'll forgive the inevitable pun - fit like a glove and don't get in the way. You can increase or decrease resistance by just expanding or closing your hand. A word of caution - if you've never used hand paddles or webbed gloves before for exercise, go slow at first. You're putting a lot more strain on your muscles, especially the shoulders. Take it easy at first until you get a feel for the workout, then slowly increase duration and speed. A bit of care will prevent a lot of pain!
