Purchased this for my father who has essential tremors and has difficulty eating, writing, using tools, etc. due to the shakiness in his hand. He has said this is very comfortable and has just enough weight to help steady his hand without being too heavy. He likes the feel of the material and that his palm in completely open, so the weight doesn't get in the way of what he's doing. He also loved the fact these are 100% made in the USA. I'll be purchasing another for his other hand as well, but wanted him to try one first. great product!
