Received these gloves a few minutes ago.
I bought these because I am now blind in one eye and my depth perception is gone. As I am the primary food preparer in my home, I felt it prudent to go ahead and protect my hands as best as possible.
WHAT COMES IN THE PACKAGE:
1 - Care and Use Instruction sheet: This sheet is printed on both sides. The front side has 8 graphics about the gloves, their use, and their care. There is one panel on how to provide feedback. The back of the page Spanish, French, and Italian; no graphics.
1 - Warranty card with what I would describe as a spoof on the asteroid that ended the age of dinosaurs on one side and the other has some words that I were unable to read because of the color of font that was used (I am not sure why companies use a light colored font on a white background), a QR code and an email address. I did forget to mention that the company/brand name is on both sides of card.
2 - No Cry gloves w/ 3 reinforced fingers (middle, pointer, and thumb): Both gloves are black and slightly stretchy. The have a white cuff that stretches and a loop location just inside each glove for hanging up to dry after they're washed. One could hang them up for storage, if they chose.
TRYING ON THE GLOVES:
Trying on a glove was a tad more difficult than I thought it would, or should, be. The glove was tighter than I expected. After I measured my hands using the provided measuring guide, I ordered "Small". After trying on one of the gloves, I struggled to get my fingers to go in without using significant force. Afterwards, I did my best to flex my fingers. This action was very uncomfortable. Especially the middle and pointer fingers. My middle finger actually popped, as though I had went and cracked my knuckle. It took a moment to remove my hand from the glove and I grew slightly concerned that I may have to cut the glove off as my middle finger did not want to leave the confines of its sheath.
OVERALL IMPRESSION:
overall, I'm sure these will be good gloves to use - once I get the proper size. So, it is somewhat unfair to rate these gloves based off of what I've experienced without actually being able to use them.
I would recommend to anyone who is interested in this product to think about going at least 1 size larger than what is recommended. After trying one, think about your knuckles as that will be the telling difference on how you might feel about this item. I would not surprised if I need to go two sizes up. But, we'll see.
EDIT 4 December 2023 ~1600 hours:
Went out for a few errands and when I got home I saw a paper envelope on my front stoop. Opened it up and a pair of size Medium gloves were delivered. I did purchase this pair, as I did the original Small set.
I tried on both pair. Here is my opinion.
The Medium-sized gl9ves so fit better. They are a l8ttle anug in the fingers, but not too uncomfortably so. It may be that as a human, I am n9t perfectly symmetrical but one of the gl9ves' thumbs is slightly larger than the other. Now, for clarification the gloves do not specify if they are designated L or R. For my purposes, I wear the gloves with the logo tag facing up (i.e., the top of my hand) l. I tried on the gloves wuth the logo tag facing down (i.e., the heel of my hand) and that is how I discovered the difference. The gl9ve I initially designated t I be the R gl9ve, there was a little more space at the tip that I was able to pinch and pull. When I changed the glove to be on my L hand, there was no extra. This tells me that my left pinkie is a little larger than my right.
Now, with all this said unless one must absolutely by symmetrical, I do jot foresee this to be an issue unless one actually is able to cut off the tip. Fortunately, when cutting meat when preparing food, I secure the food in my left hand while slicing with my right (which is oddly enough strange as I cut my food using my left hand to eat... I'm an oddball for certain.
I did change my 3-star rating tonl a4-star rating. I could not give a 5-star rating as the gl9ves are nice, but they are nit perfect.
Side Note:
The company did issue a refund of the original purchase although they have not received the original gloves in return yet. They offered to send out a complimentary replacement, which I informed them was not necessary.
I did appreciate the gesture.
