I ordered this product after having knee-replacement surgery and beginning water aerobics.I had rotary-cuff surgery sereval years ago and knew that while strengthing my knee I could also work on my arms, back and shoulders. These gloves are great for resistance work-outs. Everyone in the class has asked me about them and I let them try them to see how great they are. I also ordered the weights but find these work for me much better. I have not had any problem with the velcro thus-far and I started using them in December 2010.

Well-made gloves that provide good resistance, with one big exception: the Velcro fasteners are cheap and won't stay fastened. I've only had these gloves 2 weeks, so it's not like they've been heavily used for months, but after just 3 minutes in the water, the straps come undone and the gloves start to loosen, meaning I have to stop and refasten them, only to do it again every few minutes throughout my class. A classmate has the same pair, and is not having trouble, so maybe it's just mine, but that doesn't say much for quality control. No matter how hard I press the fasteners together before I enter the water, they're coming apart a few minutes later. ANNOYING! High quality Velcro would bump these up to a 5-star rating.
I swim several days a week and I wear these gloves. I noticed that I get a better workout with them. More resistence in the water. This is my second pair. The first pair lasted a very long time. I love them. Never stop selling them.......
These fitness gloves are the real deal. They must double the exercising effectiveness over using no gloves. If you are short on time but want a great workout, these gloves are worth every penny.
I had bought a pair of gloves a couple of years ago that I loved...different style/grip, etc. But, Speedo no longer has them. Thought I'd try these, but disappointed in feel and fit of these. Wish they'd have the "old" style again !
This is my second pair in 20 months. I think that proves they are very well made. I swim every day in the summer with them and as well, all year long I go to wateraerobics three (3) times per week. They go through a total beating!! I had no second thoughts about getting another of the same when the time came. They have fantastic resistance. I am known at the Club for my bright yellow gloves - I would not trade them for anything.
I use these fitness gloves when I swim laps in the pool. It gives me a great upper body workout. I like to mix my swim workouts with fitness gloves and swim fins.
These are the best fitness gloves on the market today. Good resistance, excellent construction, and great durability. I am an aquatic fitness trainer and I use them all the time in my classes. In the past, I have used other brands, but nothing compares to the Speedos.
I use mine everytime we go swimming wether at community swims or lakes. I only had to buy one pair. They are excellent. They help me swim faster and get a good work out at the same time. My son wants a pair. You can wash them in the washing machine. I love them! Never had any problems with them. Perfect for young and older.
My wife gave these gloves to me for Christmas and after about a month of use the stitching unravelled. By mid spring the rubber in the palms began to tear. Now, summers end, the velcro loosens up. I am going to send them back so speedo can see the errors in design and correct them for the next product release. I'll buy the fixed version. I really like using them for training, but the quality lacks.

I've had this product for 3 weeks, swim or water aerobics 3x a week. I always rinse my gear after the pool. The padding material on the palms, esp at the tips, are worn out--literally a hole developing. Also the sewing is unraveling which means the seams are splitting. I owned a previous pair that did the same thing, later found the Hydro Resist style that lasted for 2 years! I came back to the site to reorder only to find it not available--please don't discontinue the Hydro Resist style. It's durable in chlorine pool and gives a great workout.
