I order these speedo glove to replace some older one I be use that have a side zipper . the velcro be much easier to use but unfortunately the `` small '' with velcro be much bigger than the `` small '' I have with zipper . they be usable but definitely on the large size . when I compare the two , these be at least a 1\/2 inch larger in length and width . a extra small would have be appreciate but it be not offer .
