I’ve been buying warm water dive gloves for 30 years and they’ve always come apart or the thin leather finger tips wear through quickly. I’ve used these gloves quite a few times this season and they’re a better quality glove. I really like the synthetic tips on these. The wrist straps work fine but I don’t need them and have always just cut them off. It also makes it easier to find mine when I’m out with friends who are wearing the same gloves.
