Incrediwear Fingerless Circulation Gloves Arthritis Gloves, Grey

I've only been using the gloves less than a week and my hands are not sore when I wake up. I use them at night. Love them. My third Incrediwear purchase! I love their products

These are not compression gloves. They are circulation gloves. I've bought numerous compression gloves thinking that's what was needed for arthritis in my fingers and wrists and they feel too stiff and tight because my fingers are very swollen. I originally bought the Incrediwear for knees after a friend told me about them and they really helped, so I bought these gloves a year and a half ago. I was worried about what size to buy since the instructions aren't clear. The palm of my hand from just above where my thumb is to the other side is 3.25 inches across, with my hand spread out. I usually get women's regular gloves in size medium because women's regular gloves in size small are too tight for my swollen fingers. It was the small size in these Incrediwear gloves that fit my hands perfectly. These gloves are unisex, so that probably explains the difference. These gloves are well-made and the fabric is very soft and stretches gently. The cuffs come up fairly high and cover all of my wrist. They are not tight, because they are not compression gloves. When you put them on swollen arthritic hands they feel cool and comforting and then they gradually warm up a bit with your hand warmth, not hot, but just the right temperature. The fabric is sort of thick, and the joints between fingers are well designed for flexibility. My fingers have very swollen joints and these gloves feel protective and comfortable. They are perfect for typing. They are kind of expensive but I haven't seen anything else like them. The compression gloves I've tried before are uncomfortable for my swollen hands. These circulation gloves are just what I needed.

The arthritis is my hands is mild and limited to times when I've been using my hands a lot. I make my living as a string musician and landlord that does his own maintenance, so I use my hands a lot, and I can say that I believe that these gloves have helped with my arthritis some, but not a lot. If you're suffering with moderate or severe arthritis in your hands and are getting these solely for the purpose of relieving that pain or prolonging the times in-between the soreness, these might help a little, but I'd definitely be looking for something with more compression. And as well, definitely know that there's no miraculous pain-be-all-gone in store for you here. What these do well though, is keep my hands warmer, which in turn helps with the arthritis. And with the open fingertips, I can type, work, and do most everything I would do otherwise with my hands. That's nice. I pretty much wear them both indoors and outdoors most all the time now in the cold weather months. But, I really didn't realize how much I use my entire hand to produce the phrasings I have to in my music playing, so should you string players be looking for a cold hands solution, I couldn't make these work for me. Truly, practicing with cold hands is not good in many respects, including hastening the onset of arthritis if you don't have it yet. I keep a space heater in my practice room, just a suggestion. Also, if you are looking for a warm pair of outdoor winter gloves, these won't fit the bill. But they aren't advertised to do so either. What I have found myself doing, is wearing them underneath my woolen winter gloves so that when I need to do work that requires the use of my fingertips, I can take the wool gloves off until I get it done and put them back on when I finish, thus my hands are much warmer while the winter gloves are off and that definitely helps to abate the arthritis. I can take off the winter gloves when my car heater warms up as well and still have these on so that I can use my fingers easily when I need to. Now the best thing about these for me is that they are extremely comfortable, comfortable enough to wear around the house without much realizing I have them on. They are very light weight, smooth to the touch, and I found the size chart here to be accurate. I really like the way these feel. You get some squeezy compression, but not really enough to feel compressed, which many of you may be needing. For me, it's just right. I'm in my sixties and don't really have poor circulation, but indeed, I'm starting to get there and my hands get cold very easy these days, which is what I bought these for. And yeah, they've been really helpful in that respect. They're of a tightly knitted fabric material that breathes well, very comfy as opposed to like an entirely a spandex glove, but if you're looking for some real pain relief, go with the fully spandex type of material. To boot, I find these to look quite good. Though I do wish they'd come in black. The light gray is already getting a tad dingy and I haven't found them to be at all stain resistant, but I do do house maintenance work in them. And, I haven't washed them yet. They're supposed to be machine washable which they look to be, but I really don't mind them being a little dirty, I'll just get them dirty again otherwise. Now if they were black... just sayin'. So yeah, I'll recommend these. Not so much for pain relief, but they do a good job at keeping your hands at an even temperature with the rest of your body, which is going to help with your arthritis some, and I find them comfortable to wear as I go about my daily routines without having to be taking them on and off all the time. Hope this helps you decide.

I have tried about 3 other pairs of gloves from the "copper" ones to the IMAK compression, and I did not like any of them. The "copper" ones are super thin and do not keep your hands warm, as well as the cuffs are always super tight on my forearm, and the worst part all of them have seams on the inside of the gloves! So after a while, they dig in and leave big impressions in your hands, which makes your hands hurt again after you take them off. IMAKs were too tight and also, seams on the inside, which is stupid for a compression glove! The only other gloves I have tried that had seams on the outside are the Norco and Isotoners, which are comfortable but again, don't really keep my hands warm, which for my CMC arthritis, heat is what helps them the most. Now for the Incrediwear gloves - LOVE THEM! They are a very soft knit that gives light compression, about the same as the Norco/Isotoners. More like a "hug" around your hand than constant squeezing like the IMAK. The fingers are the perfect length for me, comes just between the 1st and 2nd IP joints (again, like the Norco/Isotoners - most of the copper gloves are much shorter, close to base of finger ) and they aren't tight around the wrists. They are WARM! My hands don't have that clammy feeling like I get when wearing the nylon gloves. And for the BEST part....NO SEAMS!!! They are much more "attractive" to wear as there are no seams at all, rather than like Norco/Isotoner the seams are on the outside. These so far are the best circulation/arthritis gloves I've found. I will probably get another pair or 2 to have as backups.

I am very disappointed. Sized down from large to medium. It was a better fit, but it still provided very little compression. Relief from arthritis discomfort was minimal. Fabric also appeared to be cheap and would not hold up well. I would not recommend.

Warm, fit is good, comfortable but I'm not noticing any features to address circulation/ arthritis, just more warming gloves.

Excellent product they do what they say, totally pain free when wearing them

Just rec'd these gloves today. Size Small. Fit snuggly on my hand. Feel very comfortable and makes my hands feel warm. Nice opening for fingers, if you want to use your computer or other technical devices. Look forward to helping my various hand issues. Glad I ordered them. May want to order a spare pair.

Bought these gloves for my partner for when he had surgery on his hands and found that they really helped with the healing process. Highly recommend

It's " incrediwear " what else is there to say ? always great products that really do make a difference.
