I didn’t get these for compression, I got them because I spend all day typing on my computer, and when it’s cold, my hands stiffen up and slow down. They aren’t quite warm enough for the coldest winter days – I still have to wear more wool-like gloves then. But for spring and fall, when it’s not that cold, but your HANDS are, they’re perfect because they’re thin and lightweight. One useful feature is that you can any wear them right-side or inside-out, so whenever I remove them (which is multiple times a day when I’m doing other things besides typing), they’re simple to just peel off from the top, rather than finger-by-finger. They’re washable, and they’re also useful as glove-LINERS, under heavier gloves when you need a modest extra warmth. I establish these gloves to be a useful product.

These do help, and they are more like light compression gloves. The only problem I had was that after a lot of wear, they can come apart on the edges (simple enough to repair).

I ordered these as a defensive measure and have been lucky with them. With a history of arthritis in my family and a job that requires a lot of typing, I’m a excellent candidate for a lot of hand pain. Not wanting hand surgery in my future I bought these to reduce the likelihood of carpel tunnel and slow the arthritis. The fit is a modest looser around the wrist than I’d prefer, but if not they work well. They are comfortable, lightweight, and not restrictive of movement. The last is a major point since my therapist says that movement is the key to avoiding future problems. Keeping the tendons loose and flexible prevents the pain and stiffness.

The previous reviews seem to confuse ‘compression’ with support. Compression gloves aren’t supposed to constrict the blood flow, but enhance it. A support glove or brace will FEEL like it is compressing the hand, but that’s not what this glove is designed for. If you already have a lot of pain from carpel tunnel, arthritis or similar issues, look for a ‘support’ glove. If you’re trying to prevent future problems and keep flexibility, buy and use these for a week or two. You’ll be surprised how well they work.
