this swim glove be make of neoprene with a nylon color back and a black rubberized palm . the finger and thumb be open on the end . they be a bit stiff when new but loosen up after 1 or 2 use . the glove some in size small to extra large , so you need to know what size you need before you order . I use they for water aerobic but they be also good for increase resistance while swimming . I have use these before and find they to be a very good product .
