I be on my third pair of these glove . I would not keep buy they if I do not like they . they be make of a thick neoprene , make the glove a bit stiff , but also provide good resistance in the water . the size on these glove be generous , so if in doubt , order the smaller size . the velcro closure stay secure along the wrist , and the glove be easy to put on and remove . they dry fairly quickly . I use they almost every day and have no problem with soggy glove in my gym bag . if these glove be a bit more flexible - allow I to comfortably grasp water weight while wear they - they would be perfect . as it be , I can hold the weight , but it be a little uncomfortable .
