Gel Pad Lite Wheelchair Gloves - Pink (XXX Large) - Hardwearing, Padded Breathable Leather for Great Grip, Protection, Comfort & Durability

I'm a new wheelchair user and it was obvious after my first day I'd need gloves to prevent blistering. I've very wide palms but less lengthy fingers so fingerless seemed my best bet. The thumb has some spare play in it but I expected that for the same reason. It's not excessive though. I wore them on a day in the chair for the first time and I was able to forget I had them on - not sweaty or itchy at all. The only real reminder now and then is the quick-removal loops which are an unusual sensation but they're not intrusive. What impressed me was how well they stood up to the abuse they got, in keeping my chair in control on a very steep downhill slope. I'm heavy, so there was a huge risk of a runaway ride and unpleasant end. But I was able to keep firm pressure on the rim using the pal and thumb heel pads, maintaining a slow controlled speed throughout, and not experiencing any discomfort from the friction heat passing through to my palm. The material itself only experienced very slight graining/roll of the surface where the hard pressure friction had been happening. No sign of ripping or tearing, no damage to stitches and seams. Very happy with my purchase.

Excellent fit, wears well and easy to put on and take off. Comfortable and the padding sits in the areas where blisters occur. Very nice colour ways. Gifted to a wheelchair user in the family who is very happy with them.

I’m a new wheelchair and user and these are really helpful. The loops to help you pull of, one of them frayed instantly but the others have stayed in tact - not really an issue. The padding is great, could be slightly more but would be a bit heavy I would have thought. The fingerless is nice for breathable but I’m getting blisters on my fingers but that’s to be expected. Overall nice gloves, look nice but not too flashy which I appreciate, and decent price for something I can have for a while.

I’m a sometimes wheelchair user and got these gloves to protect my hands on longer journeys. They are very comfortable whilst still affording a decent grip on the rims. Good value for money so I have no complaints.

Very easy to wear and super grip when I use my wheelchair

Very bad stitching and poor material not fit for wheelchair use

The good: as a grippy glove with gel padding these are great. The toweling on the thumb has proved invaluable in the heat waves. From the perspective of palm size I'm a small. The fit on the glove it's self was lovely and the security I needed to safely propel. However the velcro doesn't do up. I don't exactly have thick wrists either. So I tried my dad's mediums (which he has as a spare for the same reason I do) and the velcro was just too small to be secure. So I ordered a large. Once I had one that did up and started to self propel I discovered the most serious problem the elastic and velcro are so wide and stiff it inhibits movement and causes rubs and blisters on the wrist. Having fragile skin due to my disability this may be less prevalent with other users but it strikes me that one of the few wheelchair gloves on the market should do better than the cheapest hardest velcro and elastic available.

Perfect for hand protection for wheelchair use! They are comfortable... defo recommend following the sizing by measuring the hand my partner said a size but being measured he actually needed to be 2 sizes bigger. Tye padding is good and such a good product I bought another pair too!!
