I have the same question. I know i'm a medium in latex gloves. Should I get a medium paddle then?

I don't know how latex gloves are sized, but I imagine they stretch. All I can say is, if I measure my hand with my palm up, it's 7-1/4" from the base of my hand to the top of my middle finger, and my palm is 3-1/2" from the base of my thumb across to the other side of my palm about an inch under my little finger. I never thought I'd be measuring my hand, but if it helps, then there you go. Good Luck - and be sure to review them here once you've tried them!

The paddles are adjustable so it helps fitting. I think that the amount of resistance you want when you pull should also impact your decision. I'm a female and my hands are bigger than most girl hands but definitely smaller than guys hands. I wanted to pull against more resistance so I got medium. The little elastic bands do adjust, but I like them tight so they stay secure. I probably would wear small latex gloves.

I bought then for a friend who is a female, and they are perfecrt. If you want to get a pair that is sized, then you need to look at other brands, but I think these work well for all.

If I were you with medium "hands size" your hands actually fit into large size nicely because these gloves usually smaller then it label. it would conform to your hands.

I like mediums, I'm 5'2" as well, depending on what you're using then for. The wrist guards are great, the knee pads are a bit thin, my friend got a large and the wrist guards are far too big.

I hadn't taken them off the cardboard yet, but I just did so I can answer you... the package says" most suited for smaller hands". My hands are about average, and these gloves seem to fit me fine.

I would go for the medium because you have the wrist straps to secure the gloves. You don't want to restrict circulation because you will have them on for the most part. If you can't open and close your fingers and hands comfortably change the size.

I use a size large. "Bunching" on the grips can be a problem, I would think going to small would be more uncomfortable. The place on the grips your fingers go through can get very tight. If your size ends up too small the grips will be uncomfortable. Also the Velcro that goes around the wrist gives a little bit of variance in the size. Like I said before I would go with a little larger than smaller, that would be my preference.

for driving gloves, in my opinion, you'd want a snug fit in its entirety ...you should be as comfortable w/the glove as you are while driving w/them on ...if you are not, i'd say return'em ...they are superb driving gloves, so check the sizing guide again, remeasure ...reorder.

The medium is perfect size. I've tried out the small and my hand went of the edge.

My hand is 7.5 inches and the medium gloves fit great. My hand could easily be 0.5-1 inch bigger and the gloves would still fit fine.

i would go up a size. i was borderline and went with medium and they were too tight. i use wraps under my large gloves and my hand was like 7.75" i think they have a size chart on their website.

You should look at youth or women size gloves. I'd also suggest going into a store like sports authority to try on gloves and find what fits you comfortably. Once you know your size, then you can compare price and buy from any store.

I have fairly large hands and used the large sized gloves. I would say they will fit gloves are kind of a one size fits all especially at this level of training. If you have any trouble you can make up some of the difference with the way you wrap your hands. It really depends on what you are using the gloves. If you are using them just for bag work or mit work they will most likely do fine. I would recommend buying them directly from amazon and if you have any issue later you can send them back. Amazon's return service is great and it really gives me confidence buying from a retailer when I can't necessarily try them on. you could also go to a local sportswear spot and try them on and then buy them here.

I am 27, so I can't speak for younger swimmers, but I was a beginner and these really helped my stroke and also REALLY worked out my arm muscles. I have the mediums and I am very happy with them! I also have a pair of fins that help with kicking and building those leg muscles which are also helpful for beginners. With the paddles, you may want something to keep the legs afloat since pulling is normally arms only. I think Speedo sells something for between the legs!

I think the chart from the Jobst site works for these. These were stiffer, but I should have used the same size. Once on they feel great. Use rubber gloves to make that easier!

Being a male with rather big hands, I purchased a large and it was loose, so I had to get a pair of thin cotton gloves, cut off the fingers, and use them as sleeves to make the fingers fit tight. And you do want a tight fit! So, if you're hands are small then I would go with the small. In any event, this is a great product and has worked well for me once I got them to fit right. Hope that helps :-)
