CSM Ladies Pond Gloves

These (Ladies Pond) gloves are perfect for my needs as a volunteer, testing for river fly larvae in a small W. London river. Yes, they are quite tight as many reviewers have commented, and I have reasonably slim arms... HOWEVER, they still fit over a shirt, jumper and large waterproof coat. On top of that, because of the tighter fit, I didn't get wet when I tripped over a stone and fell into about 18 inches of cold and silty water last month - result! Ps my waders though cheap, were excellent too, stocked by, but not bought from Amazon. I have just taken the attached photo in order to show the gloves over my coat! and I have to confess that the tightness was unpleasant! BUT when I was wearing my jumper as described above, they were honestly great. So I guess the jumper acted as soft padding, and I certainly had no discomfort when I used them for real. (apologies if the photo appears upside down - it wasn't before uploading)

Great quality product and good value for money. These are a much better fit for ladies than the generic ones Iv tried (so far ordered and returned 4 other types of these gloves in search of a good fit). Unfortunately iv had to return these too due to sizing. I am a size 9 (L) in rubber gloves with long fingers and whilst these are a good fit for my palms the fingers are about 2cm too short leaving me with webbed hands so I cant move my fingers well for the intended purpose. I feel these would be perfect for ladies who wear M (size 8) rubber gloves with average length fingers. Hope my review helps others to find correct size I'm still on the hunt :)

As others have mentioned, these are very slim fitting on the hands....I certainly wouldn’t be able to undertake any fine work in them due to them being slightly restrictive, but fine for pulling bits out of the pond. Good strong gloves, although I don't think I’d buy these again as I do prefer them a little roomier for movement.

I purchased these for my sister, she works with her hands in the water most days. She tried them on, and although she has small hands, the gloves would not fit her very well as well as being very hard and not flexible. To give you an idea, she has to unscrew bottle tops and she struggled because the rubber on the fingers is so tough, it's hard to flex your fingers... Also the elastic band up top is very tight for her... That might be subjective, but for anyone who plans on wearing clothes under the glove, it's hard to put them on and it hurts on the upper arm... Sorry to say, I was very excited I finally found something she could be more comfortable in, and instead it was a waste of money.

I have small hands so was delighted when these gloves fitted well enough for me to at least be able to grasp things. Unfortunately the seams of one of the gloves broke open the second time I wore them. I have glued it but not sure how well that will hold.

I am a bloke, but bought these because all the other offerings were for large man hands. My hands are size 8 and these fit snugly well. Working in my marine tank, i have used oversized rubber gloves in the past and its impossible to perform delicate tasks. But with these, it's a breeze, so much that sometimes i don't feel i have gloves on. The extra length keeps my dry. Hope they lasts.

I was initially very pleased with these gloves as they were longer than others and fitted my small hands well. Unfortunately the seams were poorly constructed (minimal glueing) and quickly opened at various points meaning they stopped being waterproof after only a few uses. I've attempted to re-glue and tape the seams until I am able to source better quality replacements.

The gloves are on the small size but that suited my sister and I - other than that they work really well and seem to be robust and well made
