I have larger wrists for a woman (7.5), but I typically don’t have issues with bracelets or anything else. Bought these to replace my many-times-washed and loved Under Armor set. I wear them for kettlebell workouts, which I love (kettlebell workouts are awesome, just sayin’.) When I got these in the mail, I thought Amazon sent me child-sized ones. They have very little stretch. Felt very super tight and uncomfortable. They would be too tight for most adults. Not as long as Under Armor either, so not as much protection from heavier bells. Sure, eventually you swing so much you learn not to hit yourself, but until you do, you need the best arm protection you can get. I don’t recommend these. See pics for comparison.
