love , love , love the glove . I use they in a lake and in the pool . I be rehabb from shoulder surgery and these be perfect for gentle strengthening\/range of motion without pain . I buy small since I have short stubby finger -lrb- not man-hand , but short -rrb- and they be sorta tight without be uncomfortable . I be afraid that if I go with a medium they would be too big and fall off in the water . again , these be great , portable and perfect for strengthen . the do a great job for tone the upper arm , too . I think I will get a pair for my husband , too .
