 Speedo Aqua Fitness Gloves Aug 18, 2006
By Dr. Art
This is my 4th pair of aqua fitness gloves, my 2nd pair of this exact Speedo Aqua Fitness Glove. Allowing the fingers to protrude through the ends of the gloves is a great benefit. With other gloves, water builds up inside the glove and, if lycra-backed for example, the glove becomes like a big balloon after a short while.
These Speedo gloves allow the water to pass through the glove and out the finger-holes.
In addition, the material the gloves are made of is much sturdier than other gloves I have had. The palms hold up well as do the backs.
I recommend these gloves and will always use them in my water fitness exercises.

Excellent exercise boost Jul 19, 2008
By Comdet
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!

 Strengthen your swim workout Feb 01, 2006
By Rob Winger
These definitely do what you would expect and are fairly comfortable (although you may have some sore shoulders the next day ;-). I wasn't sure if I should get the medium or the large and wish I had gone with the smaller size.

Easy On & Off Jan 05, 2007
By Gramarama
I'm serious about acqua aerobics and the upper body workout I can get by using these high-resistance water gloves. The unique velcro closure is a great improvement over other types which were a struggle to get on and off. Wish they had a "Medium" choice of size. They only make a S and a L. These gloves were a great find and the price was right.

 NOT THE BEST Jan 28, 2008
By L. Heinbach
All in all the gloves are acceptable. I don't know if it is just this pair, but the velcro on the left wrist is not positioned properly. Unless I make it tighter, in which case not all the velcro is overlapping, the wrist space is too large and water gets in a and makes a drag. The right wrist is fine. This is the 4th pair of gloves I've used. The best so far were by Zura, but I couldn't get the same model.
