Sportaid Full Finger Leather Wheelchair Gloves

They work great...

Advantages: The full fingers are what I prefer...

These are the best gloves I've found in 40+ years of pushing a wheelchair. I measure right at 7", right between XS and S. The XS works great for me. The leather softens and stretches a bit, so it fits my hand well, doesn't roll around. As expected, these wear out where you use your hand the most. For me, at the base of the left index finger (where these are strategically reinforced) and at the heel of my right hand - didn't realize I use my hands differently. When I get these new I rub waterproofing wax used for hiking boots into them and let them sit for 24 hours, then start using them. My hands blacken for a few days as the leather leeches a little and the leather softens and starts to conform to my hand. These usually last me a year. For me well worth the $24 investment. Thank you Sportaid!

Advantages: Fit well, last longer than other gloves i've tried.

Disadvantages: Don't last forever. Sometimes Sportaid has supply issues so I usually keep an extra pair as backup.

The gloves that I purchased from you are good, nothing wrong with them

Best I've found.

Advantages: Strong. Don't slide around on my hand.

Disadvantages: None. Just keep in mind that your thumbs are not fully protected if you like to push with your thumbs. But having a thumb free is helpful with buttons and phone operation.

Full finger leather gloves last longer for my wheelchair pushing workout than any other glove but, unfortunately, the inside of the thumb and the palm develop holes within 6 months of consistent use. Can those areas be further reinforced? The rest of the glove is still perfect.

Advantages: Full finger leather gloves last the longest for regular workouts for me.

Disadvantages: Holes develop routinely inside the thumb and on the palm of both gloves making them last only about 6 months for me.
