how are these versus the gloves/mittens ?

I haven't tried the swimming gloves before, but do love these paddles. They've strengthened my arm muscles and provide great resistance in the water, similar to what it would be to lift lighter weights. I just use them for part of my workout.

Paddles offer superior resistance and they do not trap heat like a glove will. Look no further than the deck of any swim team in america to see paddles in use vs. gloves.

Hello Lisa,I like them. They are comfortable and cushy. My only problem however (and this may be because I am a novice at boxing) is that the exposed fingertips start to hurt after successive punches. So I put the generic mitten style gloves that came with my punching bag over these gloves and it protects my fingertips. Great support on my wrists and good cushioning for the knuckles but the fingertips - not so much. They are also girly cute. Lol. Hope this helps.

can't say really. looks like by amazons description the super body are larger. I use my hand warmers when I ride my motorcycle. hothands are just the right size to fit in the palm of my hand and keep my hands warm without interfering with my grip while riding. they are fine next to the skin, they are warm but not too hot. they last all day. Now my kids steal them to put one in their jacket pockets because they walk home from school. so for me, I like the size of the hot hands.

They are similar in sizes to dishwashing gloves. If I remember correctly, they are pretty snug but I think most people would use a medium. Hope that helps!

I would say they run fairly consistent with regular gloves. I got the M and I have an in-between size of S & M. I wouldn't get anything smaller.

As you can see from the pictures the glove material is medium thickness, with some compression. They offer some warmth and I believe would protect skin from accidentally bumping your hand lightly which might otherwise abrade your skin. No protection from heavy contact, the kind which would cause bruise. Definitely worth trying.

They are not bad. You hands do get sweaty. These are the only gloves I've ever had so I don't have anything to compare them too.

I bought them in size s/m, my fingers are average and fit well, perhaps a different size would work better for you. In regards to your comfort question, yes, they are quite comfortable! , considering off course that they are made of special fibers, not the lightest or the softest but they work much bettee than other gloves with touch-screen features

Yes, There are great in cold weather and they don't wear and tear easy. I'm not sure on the size for a child because I'm 33 but I'm played in these 4 times a week for 4 hours at a time and they held up. If he is a receiver they are slippery when wet like most gloves but they do better over most in the rain. Try to find a size that fits without being to big. I hope this helps.

I wear a large in women's gloves and they are not too small for my hands. If anything they are slightly loose, but fine for what I use them for (mostly cleaning kitty litter).

They will provide moderate protection, but they are not thick. I think you become more aware of your hands because of the glove, which may help.

Joe, I generally wear a small or medium glove depending on the style and manufacturer. Wrapping a tape around my knuckles reads about 8-1/4". I found the gloves comfortable except for the trigger finger which was a little tight. I bought them thinking they'd give me a little more dexterity so I wouldn't have to take them off to pick up small objects. They're a little cumbersome as the ends of the mitten part are squared off rather than rounded. Hope that answers your question. If not, get back to me. I'm not sure I'd buy them again, but I wouldn't return them as they're kind of cool.

I have read Texcasters response and it tells you all you really need to know, except for the velcro closure patch which is large and holds very well.These gloves are very tight fitting and stiff,great for protection, but take time to limber up for movement. Use baby powder on them for your first 5 or 6 times to reduce the struggle of getting them on/off...a good protective glove.

They fit my hands very well, I do have long fingers for a woman though. I like them better than oven mitts, which are normally big, but feel I have better control with the gloves.

Greetings; I returned a pair of Med. size because they were way too small for my husband. I got a large which were still too small for him so I use them and to answer your question, they have "given" a little, but are still on the "small/snug" side for me. I don't think there really is enough flexibility in these to allow for a proper fit in time. The manufacturer of these and so many other work gloves I "test" need to do a better job of sizing for the US customer base. Hope this helps, all best.

The gloves fit just fine. I do have small hands though. I have had no holes or tearing.

Yes, I was concerned about that too, because it is my fingertips that get very cold. These liner heat very quickly also. I wear gloves over the top because these are just liners. I use them on my ATV for snowplowing, and they work perfect. This is my first season with them, and they have held up great so far.
