So if I have this correctly, the "sizes" are due to how much distance you swim, correct? I was thinking they are by hand size. I have a very small hand size, and am just getting back into swimming after years of swimming (used to be on the swim team in high school). So that being said--if I am once again considered a novice, and only swimming at first nothing more than 1 mile at a time would I buy the XX Small? Thank you!

No as the size goes up so too does the resistance. I have 2 different sets of these amd they all wil fit your hand. To add, you dont necessarily want to keep these on for a whole mile. They are intended to help with form and resistance for high intensity interval training. I guess you could go distance swimming with them but you would want to definitely start with a smaller size.

Yes, the sizes are based on your swimming ability. If I were you I'd buy the small. A mile is above a novice level. Also, you can check the tyr website to help you decide

All i can think of is that children's sizes go from 13-1, 1-2 etc where adult sizes go 13-14, 14-15 etc on up. we didn't have an option that i can remember to do children's fins, just adults! Sorry i was of little help!

Karen,Your hand size and my hand size are about the same. I always get medium just to be on the safe side, and I'm glad I got a medium in these. The gloves that I had fit well. In no way did I think that they were going to fall off. I truly believe that the smalls would be too small, although these gloves do stretch. Bottom line is I would get the mediums. Worst case sinerio you can send them back and get the smalls, but I don't think that you'll have to.

We ordered this swim belt to have on hand for guests who wanted extra flotation while swimming in the lake but choose to not wear a life jacket. An 11 year old boy who wears an XL adult life jacket (which fit snugly around his mid section) needed something larger than the youth size swim belt and he used this for swimming. It did not seem to ride up on him, it did develop a slight split where the belt passes through the foam, but he was jumping off the dock, doing cannonballs etc. while wearing it. My guess is that his "waist" is at least 32", maybe bigger. There was still a "tail" of the belt available if needed.

I forgot the measurement point at which sizing goes from small to medium. My measurement was right at that point. I got medium. They are very snug and meant to fit that way for compression. The fingers are long. I had to work them at my fingertips to be able to type. I'm thinking medium for you.

I did not like these at all, so threw them away and do not have them to measure for you. I can tell you that my 5 year old daughter was able to easily swim through them and me as well. She is very thin, but I am 5"2 of average size. Hope that helps.

Hello, Thanks so much for the inquiry. It looks like Amazon is the only seller that offers that wetsuit in size "MS" I'm not quite sure what "MS" stands for...perhaps Medium Short? Unfortunately, we don't offer it in that size, we only offer it in Medium, Large and X-Large. You may want to get in contact with Amazon directly with your inquiry on the "MS" size. Hope this helps!Leslie

I believe that those sizes refer to the swimsuit fabric Mermaid tails that one can purchase to wear over the monofin. I swim with only the Fin itself- it's a lot of fun and a good workout, too!

Hello friend... I also have small hands and I purchased the large. They are very snugged so anything else than large will be to small even for small hands. If you get large and they are a little loose( which I doubt because you can secured them with the Velcro straps) you can always add one tape wrap around your hands before you put this one on. But trust me they are very snug. So a large will be fine for you. I hope that will help. :-) I love mine!!

I also have small lady hands :) and they fit me just fine. They did feel a little big but not swimming, nothing that should hinder you.

My guess, from limited purchasing experience, is that they are about the size they should be. Large size gloves that I previously purchased (different brand) we're a bit small. With that in mind, I ordered XXLarge, which were a little big. I expect the XLarge will be just right, which is conducive with the size of my hands. Again, that's just my experience. BTW they are excellent gloves; they outwear any I've previously used, and have been resistant to the chemicals I've used thus far.

I purchased this glove from Amazon. I measured my hand to see if they were in reference to the size of yours. I measure the exact same size as your hand. I bought an extra large in size.

Probably still small to medium. They do not have much stretch or give so if you are afraid the small will still be too small the medium may work and if not then you could just send them back and exchange them. They do run some what small.

If I'm not 50 or over. Why would I take Centrum Women 50+. This is for women 50 or over. So how would I know the difference in size. Like I said I'm not 50!!!

Hi KyleI am 5'10" 200 lbs and have pretty large hands. I bought the X large. The gloves were snug compared to some of the others in the market. When I tried them of for the first time, I thought they were too small. But being all leather they seem to adjust to the shape of your hands after the first few times of use. you say your hands are small. Unless they are very small, I think you should get large. Vishnu

I have small hands (I'm a size 6 3/4 in regular women's gloves), but found that the size small gel wraps were too tight. My fingers were numb by the end of my first workout. I tried on some mediums at a store near me, but they were too big in the hand, though they felt better around the fingers. It would be useful to have a measurement chart available before ordering.

My husband who wears them would suggest the larger size but he does not wear them in the water. He wears them at an indoor pool to walk around the deck at his job as a lifeguard. So I guess it depends on how you will be using them. If using them mostly in water he can see why you should order the smaller size. How's that for confusing you!
