CressiNeoprene High Stretch Gloves : quality since 1946

These are cheap comparatively and really saved me on a dive where there was a thermocline and it got very cold very fast. Had them in my BCD pocket and thank goodness! They were hard to get on and off bc I bought them a size small so they’d fit nice and tight for maximum dexterity, but not overly so that it was a hassle bc they stretch a lot. The best part I didn’t know is that they float (duh they’re neoprene I should have known) I was very worried about losing them but they will stay within arms reach or come to the surface so no worries there. They were warm and extremely comfortable, would buy again. I’d say they are durable but haven’t tried putting them to test much. They do have good grip though!

I use these to swim in unheated pool. Latest water temperature was 45F. They keep me warm. Very good product.I like that entire glove surface has grippy dots.I experienced few difficulties with them. But i am new to wetsuits etc, and my problems could be just my ignorance of the nature of neoprene in wetsuits in general and of a product in this price range.1. I started drying them in horizontal position and it took about 3 days to dry out fully, especially at the fingertips. Propping them up and using forced air now takes 24 hrs or so.2. There is no cinch strap around the wrist so I get a bit of water exchange between inside and outside of the glove.3. I got gloves a size smaller than my measurement. They go on tight, but I do get water pooling in the palm area. I was reluctant to go another size smaller fearing I might lose blood circulation. But I might try it anyway to keep fingers warm.Overall, they definitely keep me warm. And for the money, it's a good product.

Great fit, warm gloves, but fell apart after 10 lobster dives.

I do workouts in the lake as long into the winter as I can, but I need to be comfortably warm.These are warm and inexpensive gloves. Got XL. They're tight (as all scuba wear has to be for warmth), but the size is true---fingers long enough, enough wrist material to go up over the wet suit sleeve which insures a reasonable seal against cold water. Like any wet suit gear, water gets in, but warms up to body temp unless the fit is too loose.The glove material is thick and stiff. But like scuba wear, the point is to keep warm and I don't expect to be able to shuffle a deck of cards underwater. Some reviewers have wanted to use them for work gloves cleaning roof gutters and such which is simply not the purpose intended. There are shelves of gloves in farm and garden stores for that. With these, you can work levers, knobs, pick up rocks, use wrenches and avoid cut hands from barnacles and sharp rocks with little damage to the glove if you are careful.Happy hands in 44º water.

These dive gloves are excellent quality and what I expect from Cressi. I'm an underwater photographer, so maintaining dexterity in cold water while still being able to operate my camera is critical. These 2.5mm gloves are soft and stretchy with good grip texture while still allowing ample sensation to feel the individual buttons on my camera housing.The caveat for soft dive gloves like this is that they're going to degrade pretty quickly with hard use. I have already seen a little of the stitching starting to come apart near the cuff after 30-40 dives with some holding onto rough terrain in strong currents. They are still intact and I expect them to last a while. That said, my usage is not typical and this trade off would be experienced with any brand of soft glove. I recommend these gloves and will likely purchase another pair if/when these finally give out.

had 3mm, needed 5mm have both and very happy

These gloves kept my hands warm in the cold waters of the Rocky mountains and are extremely comfortable. No limiting use of hand for grabbing or normal hand functions. Was a little concerned about being being only 5mm material as the waters here are in the mid 40's or so and figured I needed a 7mm but soon found that they are perfect at 5mm even for the lower temps. A must have in cold water activities like snorkeling. I use them with my 7mm wetsuit and boots as well as hood and can spend the whole day in the colder lakes and streams. I highly recommend.

These gloves fit my hand quite well and are very comfortable, but the wrist is too loose and too short. It would definitely let water in, and that's not what I want. The neoprene is also SUPER SUPER soft. Which would be comfortable, but I'm worried it's so soft that it would tear during normal use when I'm spearfishing (loading guns, grabbing rocks, etc). If you're gentler with your gloves and have wide wrists, then maybe these are the gloves you want. I also got a pair of SEAC gloves which were similar to these but have a longer wrist and felt more durable, so I'm happy with those and sticking to them.

I ordered an S and an M as I couldn't find much sizing help other than ladies are M, or small ladies S... My hands measure about 19cm around the knuckles, 18cm wrist to end of middle finger, finger itself 8cm. The fingers of the S were long enough, but my hands felt a little compressed and I was worried this would hinder circulation and result in cold hands (I'm wanting them for dog walking / wet ball chucking). The M was more comfortable on the hand, but the fingers are a tiny bit long, so reducing dexterity just a bit (handing over biscuits in exchange for wet ball - tricky, but possible, so I've kept them).The 2.5mm isn't very warm, but I needed dexterity, and above all dry hands, as once they get wet in the wind I quickly lose all feeling - this is the best solution I have yet found.

I hate wetsuits and do not ever intend to wear one and I am enthusiastic about the benefits of cold water exercise. However in very cold water my fingers get cold before the rest of me. This prevents me from training for as long as would like to and also can leave me struggling to perform tasks requiring fine motor coordination (e.g. doing up bra straps) after exercise. This has lead to embarassing situations.These gloves will not keep your fingers dry, they will however stop them from getting as cold as they would if you did not wear them. Thus, without these gloves I might only be able to train for 20-30 minutes, with the gloves I can train for 1 hour + and still do up my bra strap when I leave the water.No more bra fumbling, frozen finger misery. What could be better!

I go surfing and snorkeling in the north east during summer time. These are perfect. If you are into under water photography, there are great. My hands are still warm after two hours in the north sea at 8 degrees.

I adore these gloves. Nice and warm but so thin you forget you're wearing them. After wearing them 3 dives a day for 6 days they got a bit loose, but by the time I came to use them again in a month or so (basically once they'd dried out properly) they were back to normal.They aren't indestructible quality but if you treat them right they won't go breaking on you randomly.

These gloves are easy to get on and off and stay in place when needed. They do get a bit sweaty though (I bought them for rowing rather than diving)
