these glove be very comfortable and excellent for fitness in a standing position in the pool . . but overall they be extremely bad . I use they maybe 2 month and the palm on the right hand glove start crack until it finally break down completely . I order normal hard swimming pad but those be only great for swim stroke only . . im force to buy these for the fitness sadly ... I wouldnt buy THEM if you be going to DO SWIMMING LAPS with THEM Yes for the fitness and resistance part .
