Doctor Developed Open Finger Arthritis Gloves - Compression gloves, Doctor Written Handbook

These seem to be good quality gloves. They're comfortable, my fingers feel much better while wearing them, and they don't interfere with touch screens, keyboards, or track ball mice. My one small complaint was that I originally bought the "large" based on the description, and I should have gone with the "extra large". Fortunately, the return process was very easy and the bigger size is working out great.

Stretchy, great comfort, relieves pain and allows me to keep working

They are very nice relief and provide excellent compression. But as shown first time putting on the left glove and the seam split. I suspect it is because I straddle the line between M and L. In general when I go L I don't get enough compression with compression gloves and if I go M any weak point that exists is put under a fair bit of strain. At the moment this is a tentative review, the right glove is the one I really need anyways and to be fair my left hand is slightly larger than my right(which I find odd since I am right handed). So I my Left is probably a L and my Right is great with a M. If the right glove's seam fails as well I will update to a 4* to qualify that they have a weakspot. IF the right holds up then I'll just assume it is because I straddle the point between M and L and that since my left is larger that that was due to a sizing issue. With further time the right glove has ended up with numerous tears. Reviews of similar products seem to indicate this is a standard issue with compression gloves. Still great relief while they last, but if you have had issues with other brands splitting at the seams before these will likely do that same.

I got a size L for my husband. He has arthritis in his hands. Well, the band around the wrist was so tight, he couldn't get them over his hands. However, I love them. I too have arthritis and they fit me pretty well. Only I have small to medium hands as a woman. I think these gloves are great, it's just their sizing that's not so great. So if you're a small to medium, order their large. If you have really big hands get the XL but still, I don't know if you'll be able to get them on. The wrist band is tight. Now for me, they fit great. They cover my knuckles, the compression is just right, and they are warm. Also, they have the gripping material that really works. I was able to put them on without much tugging but the fit is good. I'll report back after I use them more. At least I don't have to send them back! My husband can't use them, but I will!

[Edit/ Update]: Despite being overall satisfied / happy with the product -- The customer service for this company is second to none. They immediately responded willing to refund my money (now 6+ months later). I refused a refund as I wear these gloves and think they are a great product. However, they asked if I'd like a complimentary pair of these gloves in the version without fingertips to address my 1 complaint (isn't capacitive (doesn't work with phone)). I said sure,.. and I'll leave my thoughts on these in regards to the reason I use these gloves in the first place (Raynaud's Syndrome) and how fingertip removed gloves work (or don't) in a condition where the blood supply shuts off to your extremities. Again, this is a quality company. [Start Review]: I'd buy these gloves a million times over. Inexpensive and , so far, they've held up to much use and abuse. I've had them a better part of a year and I honestly didn't expect them to not wear out with daily use. These are extremely thin gloves,.. but in a great way - They don't feel constricting, in fact I'm typing at nearly my regular rate of speed (100-120 wpm [Yeah I type fast... but often slow it down to 80 or so casually). Point is the fingers are moving at the rate of my brain thinking and these gloves don't slow this down MUCH. It's more than acceptable. Now my biggest complaint -- For me, they aren't capacitive. Meaning they don't work with my phone. I didn't expect to really easily 'text' but unlock my phone and press basic buttons.. yes. It shows "Katie" texting her friends with these... I don't believe they are made with capacitive material but if they are it's not well done. Lastly, I bought these because they advertise Raynaud's relief. I have severe Raynauds (Fingers, Feet, ears, nose, any part possibly effected is..) So I wear these gloves all the time as even just the AC blowing will create massive discomfort and my arteries constrict 90% of the day so my fingers/hands are literally ice cold and painful. They help, but definitely don't keep them warm. But you must remember, if you have Raynaud's it is cold cause by blood vessel vasoconstriction/dilation dysfunction. Specifically the arteries constrict (get smaller or close) leading to the fingers primarily which causes the fingers to turn white (like a corpse cause no blood is reaching them). Most people experience significantly lower blood flow .. ie: 10-30% of normal which creates very cold fingers. Point is external protection can only help so much with an internal blood flow issue. (The oxygenated blood is 98 degrees and keeps our fingers warm (and all of our body)). Gloves aren't going to dilate your blood vessels (or in general help with such issues) unless they are heated. Period. Still - I highly recommend purchasing them. Even if you don't have arthritis or raynaud's syndrome,.. these are very sheer/thin gloves that allow you to USE your hands for finer tasks but provide some level of protection from the elements/cold etc. They remind me of driving gloves but better. They have nice grip on the bottoms as well.

I have been wearing these gloves everyday, all day since I received them and they have been helping a lot. I am 68 years old, and have arthritis in my hands something horrible. I do a lot of work at the computer, and a lot of craft work with my hands. My hands were always sore, especially the base of my thumb. The gloves are helping to reduce the pain. I ordered the medium gloves and they are snug, but not tight. I had the feeling that a tighter glove would create more compression and more relief, so I contacted the company and asked them about it. They responded immediately and said they are sending me a pair of small gloves to try out. With all the hand washing I have to do nowadays, I take the gloves off a number of times each day. I was concerned about ripping the seams, because that was a complaint I noticed about one of the other brands Amazon sells. I have already washed these gloves twice and the seams are as tight as the day I received them. The gloves came with a $5 rebate and a coupon for 30% off a future purchase, which I am looking forward to making this an even better deal than the original low price. I highly recommend buying these gloves. I am very impressed with the product and the integrity of the company.

Bought these to reduce hand strain when typing and working, since I have fragile and hypermobile joints. Went to put them on, only to feel something scratch against the side of my palm. Tried to wear them for a few minutes, and couldn't adjust to where the seam wasn't scratching me, only to turn the gloves inside out and find a tag on each glove on the INNER SEAM. What kind of person puts a tag inside of a glove?! I promptly ripped the tag out, like I do with all tags on my clothing, but unlike most clothing, where you can just rip the flimsy offending tag out without damaging the seams, the tag in these gloves was stitched firmly into the seam, meaning the seam ripped when I tore out the tags. I had owned these gloves for all of 10 minutes before both gloves had a massive tear in the seam on the outer side of my palm just in the process of making them comfortable to wear. Joint pain and sensitive skin are immensely common symptoms for a person to have at the same time, so why on EARTH was a tag placed on the inner seam, let alone at the bottom of the palm where the gloves don't lie flat and the tag will fold and scratch you?!

Not stretchy at all. It almost didn't fit my wrist.

Thought it was a pair, but received only one!

Lo empecé a usar, me quedo bien en la mano, se siente la presión en los dedos, Palma y muñeca.

Its really useful for people diagnosed with raynauds . It gives relieve to your hands . Numbness is not experienced after wearing them . Very useful

I have hands which I considered to be a medium size. I bought the large gloves and they are very tight. But despite that they are very tight, they do seem to be helping with pain relief of the arthirits.

Not the right material or fit. There are better models
