“I purchased a small size, but once the gloves are wet they seem to get loose. Also would be great if they could be made with a thicker neoprene to keep my hands warmer (swim in lake, 52-56 degrees), understand that thicker means less "feel" for the water and may impact stroke, but it's a trade off I'd take for warmer hands, especially going into the swim - bike transition.”
“I think these gloves might work if my hand was bigger but I am a 5'1" woman and the smalls seem to flop around. I felt like I was swimming with paddles. I have some bigger friends who love these gloves but I have only used them once and probably won't use them again.”
Sorry to hear that the gloves do not fit your hand! We do out best to make a size that fits as many hands as possible. One thing to try if you have not already, is to make sure they're on as snug as possible and that the wrists are tucked underneath your wetsuit. This helps them stay as secure as possible and can improve their feel if they are a bit large. All the best.
“I bought these gloves for swimming in Puget Sound which in is the summer is around 50-52 degrees. They give my hands enough protection so I don't feel the cold and they are easy to put on and take off. I can put them on after my wet suit is on and tuck them under the wrist gasket with no problem. I recommend these gloves.”
“I fooled around with some cheapies off of Amazon, with just about every outdoor swimming product, which was a total waste of money. It is TOTALLY WORTH IT to buy Blueseventy products!!! These gloves kept my hands warm all winter in 42 degree water. They don’t take on water making it harder to swim, I got a size small (female, 5’10”, 160 lbs). It’s better to have the gloves nice and tight. The best ever!!! Don’t waste your time with anything else!! Also, Blueseventy has awesome customer support. Where do I write my FIVE STAR review of the Thermal Reaction Wetsuit that also enabled me to swim in Puget Sound all year long?!?!”
“These work fine for swimming in 45-47 degree water. Got a size small. They’re not incredibly warm but add just enough. If sized correctly they don’t sag.”
“It's a great glove but isn't thick enough for 5C. I opted for a 3mm Zone3 glove for these colder temperatures, but as the water warms, I will likely switch back to these blueseventy gloves as they feel very natural on my hand.”
“Fit was true to your size guide. Felt like my natural hands, except they were warm in water temps of 52 degrees. Haven't swam in water temps colder so far this year. Highly recommend! Also lend useful with road bike in cold and windy weather. Winners!”
“I am a petite female and the small is just a little big. Wish you had an extra small. The feel for the water is way better than I expected. The gloves are supple. And while they are warmer than no gloves at 51-55 degree water, my hands still get cold. But I do notice that my hands warm up faster, so I can tell they are helping. At 56 degree and up, I just don't need the gloves anway. On a separate subject - the booties and the neoprene cap are absolutely the bomb. Love those things.”
