these glove work the way you would expect they to work . it turn out that nature be right . you swim faster if you have web finger . and , because they be the same material as a wet suit , the glove keep my hand warm . the manufacturing flaw be that one of the glove , the left , have a slight defect at the base of the thumb . it do not affect anything now , but if the defect , a slight rip , extend , the glove will become unusable in the future . that be why I deduct one star and make this a four star item .
