Dritz Crafters Parent Comfort Glove

Pros/Con: I used to be a size Medium in these Crafters Comfort Glove, but they are too tight for comfort now. I plan to return them now for an Amazon Gift credit towards my next purchase because I received the Large size today and these fit much better now. Doesn't compress too much but still provides warmth and pain relief whether I sleep or wear them while at my computer. The fingers are longer in the Large size than in the Medium but it does allow my natural fingernails to extend more comfortably. I purchased the brown again because it hides spots well. They look great and will purchase the Large size again in a few years. Update: Yes, I received a full gift card credit for the other gloves that were Medium. Recommend!

Perfect to use if you have arthritis in your hands, which is why I purchased them. They fit nice and snug and help ease some of the pain as I cross stitch, crochet, etc. The compression is perfect, however, the grip is not so good---very slippery, but this is not a big deal for me as I use them mainly to manage pain. The thickness of the fabric is just perfect, not too thick or thin. I like the fact that the fingertips of my hands are free to use, making these gloves perfect.

I bought these on the recommendation of my occupational therapist. I experienced a lot of hand pain and swelling last summer when I embarked on an aggressive effort to keep the weeds at bay in my yard. I was also knitting a garment with a short-length cable needle, which were very hard on my hands. OT could only do so much, so the therapist thought these might help remedy the situation, along with rest and easing up on my yard work. These gloves are great. Comfortable, warm and they don't inhibit hand movement enough to stop me from doing work and engaging in hobbies I enjoy. They also hold up well after washing.

This is my second pair of brown. They, love the green ones slide on easily and make hand use more normal when arthritis kicks up with pressure drops and heat combined with high humidity. I wear green ones to bed often. Brown are great as they don’t show dirt as much, The gloves hold up well to washing too. Just be sure to rinse well. My size is medium.

I purchased these after much searching for gloves to help keep my hands warm, while still having exposed fingertips, as I have Raynaud's Disease. My previous pair of gloves were half finger, as many gloves are, but thus far I prefer these because the only part of my fingers exposed are the last joint of each finger, so more of my fingers have the benefit of being covered. These gloves just came in the mail today, and I'm already in love with them. They are lightweight but thus far that hasn't kept them from keeping my hands from getting cold. They aren't thick enough to really get my hands warm, but as anyone with Raynaud's can tell you, not cold and not warm is much much better than cold. As another reviewer said, the fit on the wrist is loose, but it doesn't bother me. As far as the rest of the fit goes, I have large hands and long fingers for a woman and I was apprehensive as I'm accustomed to having to buy mens gloves. But these fit my hands well. They are a little short in the finger, but the material is elastic enough that it doesn't inhibit mobility. On the hand and finger its skin tight, enough so that I wear my rings over the gloves if I'd like - the rings are both bout half a size too big. Stitching all around looks good and sturdy, but of course time will tell the best of all, especially because I'll be wearing these pretty much all day long, every day, till it finally gets to summer, when I hope to be able to put them away till fall. I will try to remember to update this review in a month or two, to share how well they hold up under daily use. The only thing I don't like, could do without, are the enormous tags on the inside of each glove, that are about 1x2.5 inches! I plan on carefully removing the tags. UPDATE** 9-17-2013 I pretty much wore the gloves every day throughout the summer, oh the joys of Raynaud's. Get's hot, turn on fan, fan makes hands cold...gloves go on so hands don't get cold and rest of body can cool off under the breeze of the fan. They held up surprisingly well, though I developed the lazy habit of not taking off my rings before putting the gloves on. That recently caused a hole in one finger :( Overall I'm very satisfied with the purchase, the gloves held up extremely well to repetitive and constant use, regular washing, and all out abuse. I did remove the inside tags very early on after purchase, they drove me up a wall, but other than that, no complaints at all!

Other than the color, which I am not fond of (BROWN, not green as seen on the packaging), these gloves are a great fit (I found the size guide to be accurate) and give my hands the support I need to keep on working. I have rheumatoid arthritis; medication is a huge help; however, long hours in the garden, sewing, and/or my jewelry making business takes a toll, resulting in swelling & pain. The added support/compression of these gloves make my hands feel SO Much Better!!! Having "open" fingertips is extremely handy. If I am going to be around water or dirt, I just pull a "latex" glove over the top of them. I also throw them into the washer (on warm) with my other colored-wash and they come out great; washing them by-hand or in cold water isn't necessary, contrary to what the packaging says! I will be purchasing MORE of these gloves!!

I have the same gloves in a small (I lost one) but ordered the medium for a less snug fit. They are too tight. I'd recommend ordering a larger size if you want a snug fit, and 2 sizes larger if you just want a craft glove for warmth and little support.

These gloves work well for crafting and for arthritis. They have the best fit of any compression gloves I've tried. The only thing I don't like is the brown color but even so they are a good value for the money.
