You cannot produce more thrust with your weaker arms and smaller hand fins when compared to your stronger legs and bigger foot fins. That's a red herring.
But you CAN produce more thrust using your weaker arms and smaller hand fins AND using your stronger legs and bigger foot fins, compared to just using your legs / fins. Herring taste good.


Again, I don't doubt that there are benefits. I'd just like someone to enumerate them. More thrust isn't one.

I haven't tried them so I can not comment with certainty (unlike others here) but I bet the gloved hands produce better maneuverability when needed, compared to legs / fins.
 
The insults and immature name-calling here make me realize that not all ScubaBoard members are intelligent and classy. Thank goodness the ScubaBoard guys I dive with aren't misogynists like some of the "men" on this thread. I came to this thread to discuss the gloves that I requested and tested and reviewed. Instead I see a bunch of nasty, negative, name-calling woman-haters. Where the heck is the glove discussion?
 
Spoken like a true lie-berrian!
They should take advantage of some of the free literacy programs we offer.

Unfortunately, we don't offer classes in good manners. :rofl3::rofl3::rofl3:
 
LOL, and you can also retain a ton of CO2 and burn through your gas in no time. Sounds like fun.

Better maneuverability with your hands? Perhaps, but I don't have a problem stopping, turning, going forward or backward with my fins as is.

If you want to waste gas and get shorter dives by reducing your efficiency in the water, go for it. Some people like hanging out on the boat more than under the water. That's cool, too.

Hmmm, let's see:

Who has "screamed" in this thread in size 50 red font?

Who has called other posters an "a s s"?

You have the manners of a sailor.

Not to mention the lack of spelling errors in the post you quoted.

I bet you didn't get air-conditioning as an option in your car because it wastes energy too, right? There may just be a time and place for everything.
 
I was not screaming, I was making sure that my agreement was seen. You can call it screaming if you want, but makine ONE word in bold red font is not screaming. Typing a rant in all caps...that's screaming.

I never called anyone an a s s.

Turning my user name into something childish and insulting was indeed a spelling error. An intentional and classless one at that.

I really feel sorry for you.

Now let's get back to discussing gloves before you make yourself look any worse than you already have. After all, the subject line for this thread is "Free Trial on Webbed gloves/last call", not "let's show this broad how much we hate educated women by insulting them instead of discussing the subject at hand in an intelligent manner."

Back on track, did anyone even read my review? I had a love/hate experience with them. They were a bit too snug and way too hot in 87 degree Bahamian waters, but they were AWESOME when the sharks and rays were swimming around and around and I was able to rotate with ease to shoot stills and videos of them. No need to kick to turn (which would have stirred up sand) and a lot more efficient than sculling. I had no problems manipulating my camera housing buttons and switched from stills to videos with ease.

I'd like to try a pair with a vented/perforated back, in a slightly larger size. I also like someone else's suggestion of making the webs in a lighter color for visibility.

Wait, wait. Can somebody tell me how these are going to help my diving?

Debbie, I'm fairly sure it has nothing to do with you being a woman. I'm almost certain it has everything to do with the lack of any answers being provided by those who have reviewed them. There are lots of people who only add things to their kit if it is useful.
