Arc’teryx Gothic Glove vs Resistance Band Training Economy Fitness Package

Let's start with the positive part. The 5% of lycra makes this liner a whole lot more durable than altnernatives with 100% merino.

36 sets, about 30 minutes taken and you should be destroyed. It's unpleasant but highly effective.

I can slip them on and off quickly to keep my hands comfortable. What I like the best is they breath very well so my hands don't get all clamby. Also they are small and light so I can take them with me even on days that you wouldn't normally need gloves but when you get above treeline and it's colder than expected these will save the day. I can't understand the bad reviews on these mine are in great shape with a year of heavy use

I started MAF training this spring, and I found this significantly eased my symptoms coupled with my normal inhaler regimen.

I have compared this directly to the new Rho glove in temps at and just below freezing. The Gothic warms up more quickly when hands are in pockets or when working hard going up hill, and stays warmer than the Rho in calm conditions. However the Rho is a much tighter-woven, less air permeable fabric, so as soon as there is a cool breeze, the Gothic cools off more quickly. When used as a liner, I definitely felt that the Gothic was a little warmer than the Rho

Since I am a senior softball player, my type of exercise is to help me be a strong contender. Softball is too passive to say you are exercising enough to keep the muscles you have.
