We'll let them say it.
Most product pages are written by the people who sell the product. This one is written mostly by the people who bought it.
Below are four short reviews of the SoftGrip Pilates Gloves, left exactly as they were written. Under each one, a plain note on the part of the glove the customer is talking about: the fit, the size, the open fingertips and the grip dots.
The notes are facts about the glove, taken from the product itself. The reviews are in the customers' own words.
Fit: Ara S
"I'm an instructor and always try new positions. These gloves stabilise me and give me a bit more support when I need it."
-Ara S
The glove is a stretch knit, 82% cotton, 15% polyester, 2% spandex and 1% silicone. It is half-finger, with an open back and no velcro at the wrist.
There is nothing to fasten and nothing to adjust. The glove is pulled on.
Laid flat it measures 10 cm by 12 cm. That is the whole of the sizing.
One size: Allan W
"These gloves are amazing, I got a pair for my wife and a pair for me, at first I thought my hands would be too big but they fit well."
-Allan W
Every pair is the same size. There is no size chart and no size to choose, only a colour: Oat, Rosé, Mint, White or Black.
The measurement is 10 cm by 12 cm laid flat, the same for his pair and hers.
A pair is a left glove and a right glove. Two people who each want a pair buy two pairs, as Allan did.
Five colours, one glove
The colour is the only choice on the product page. The five colours are Oat, Rosé, Mint, White and Black.
Every colour is the same one-size glove.
Open fingertips: Bella W
"Tried them today. These gloves are the missing link to securely placing palms and fingers in the correct manner."
-Bella W
The glove is half-finger, so the fingertips are bare. The knit covers the fingers part of the way along, and the tips are left out.
The silicone dots sit on the palm and on the undersides of the fingers.
The back of the hand is open. There is no velcro and no strap to adjust. What is on the hand is stretch knit.
Grip dots: Annie F
"I love my grip gloves. They feel supportive during my HIIT and hot mat classes."
-Annie F
The silicone grip dots are set across the palm and the undersides of the fingers. They are a pattern on the surface of the knit.
Silicone is 1% of the glove by composition. The dots are on the palm side of the glove.
The gloves are machine washable.
Why they are shown as written
Reviews get trimmed all the time. A clause is cut, a comma is tidied, the dry half is dropped. These have not been touched.
Each is word for word and credited with a first name and an initial. Nothing has been added to them, and nothing has been taken away.
The words in the reviews are the customers' words. Where a review says something a glove cannot show on its own, it is left as written and the note under it sticks to what the glove is.
