I be on my third pair of these glove . they wear out very quickly . I swim every other day for forty minute at my local 24 Hour Fitness gym . I rinse my glove out after each time . each pair have start to frazzle within just a couple of month of purchase they . the first pair pretty much disintegrate within 6 month . the pair I be use now be only 4 month old . it start to fall apart about a month and a half ago . presently , the fabric be crack at half way down three of the finger slot ; it be also start to crack at the wrist . the fabric be start to fray badly at the finger tip , too . I be go to have to replace they soon ; otherwise , they 'll start to leave little piece of fabric and string behind every time I swim . also , the wrist strap be not design very well . in order for I to get a good fit on my left hand , I have to adjust the velcro-covered tab so that the strap there fit the wrist correctly . when I do that , the tab stick out way too much , so there be not enough over-lapping velcro to make a solid connection . the velcro then loose its connection and the glove start to come off . I think maybe the strap might stretch too much over time . just as a side note , the glove do seem to fit well , so I do not think that a misfitting contribute to the problem . I do not think the glove be fall apart due to extra stress place on they by have to stretch the fabric too much to cover hand too big for they . the fitting seem correct . it be just the construction quality be rather poor .
