Review on 🏊 Enhance Your Swim Training with Speedo Aqua Fit Swim Training Gloves! by Rory Kelley

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Bad velcro is good for swimming

All my swimwear is Speedos and I am happy with them and other Speedo products. However, the Velcro on these Speedo gloves did not hold these gloves on my hands well. My swim laps were constantly interrupted to retrieve a lost glove or to adjust and reattach the velcro. I gave up after four tries and eventually got her to stick with just the rubber bands. The Velcro on my weatherbeaten Aqua Sphere gloves still works after five years, although the blue material covering the neoprene gave way to the Florida sun and pool chemicals on my two-hour laps three times a week, and the neoprene is finally coming on too. I always rinse my swimsuits and gloves in an API TAP water treatment solution, hang the gloves to dry and hang my suits on a hanger to maximize the lifespan of most of them. The gloves are now out of two year warranty and I am still using them while waiting for a replacement. and it might just be a bunch of bad Velcro. I will wear Aqua Sphere gloves until they give me a reason to shop elsewhere. Update: Aqua Spheres have arrived and work just like the ones they replaced.

Pros
  • Comfortable
Cons
  • Boring packaging
