About Speedo
In 1914, Speedo was founded in Australia by Alexander MacRae, a 22-year-old Scottish immigrant who arrived in the country in 1910. The company began when MacRae Hosiery manufacturers, established by Alexander in 1914, extended the manufacture of underwear to swimwear and became MacRae Knitting Mills. A naming competition was held by the staff in 1928 and won by a Captain Parsonson, who coined the slogan, "Speed on in your Speedos." In 1929, the first swimsuits were in production and it didn’t take long for Speedo to successfully establish itself. World War II caused the brand turn over 90% of it’s manufacturing to war production, providing the armed services with vital equipment such as mosquito nets. After the war, Speedo opened a new factory and was able to re-establish itself, due to increased demand for swimsuits. In 1951, Speedo Knitting Mills (Holdings) Ltd, was incorporated and became a publicly traded company on the Sydney Stock exchange.

Speedo hit the international stage in earnest, at the 1956 Melbourne Olympic Games, and a few years later the brand grew on a more global scale. Export sales to the USA began and an international division was set up to monitor trade in New Zealand, Japan and South Africa. The expansion of the brand continued, and in 1976, Speedo was appointed as the official swimwear for the 1976 Montreal Olympics, where 52 out of 54 countries wore their swimsuits.

Speedo continues to make its mark in the pool and on the beach today. Many world class athletes who wear Speedo include U.S. phenomenon Michael Phelps, legendary Australian swimmer Grant Hackett, world record holder Kosuke Kitajima from Japan, and Holland’s Inge de Bruijn.

Bionic Women's Fitness Gloves Review



Bionic Women's Fitness Gloves Feature

  • Women's fitness gloves designed by an orthopedic hand surgeon for superior protection, grip, comfort, and durability
  • Anatomical pad system designed to help you burn the muscle group and lift more weight
  • Relief padding on palm and lower portions of fingers helps prevent calluses and blisters
  • Motion Zones over the knuckles and Web Zones between the fingers promote natural hand movement and help circulate air
The women's fitness gloves from Bionic are designed by an orthopedic hand surgeon to provide performance enhancing support for weight lifting and other gym workouts. Constructed with high-grade, washable sheepskin leather and Coolmax Lycra for breathability, the gloves are built for comfort and durability. The gloves feature an anatomical pad system that is designed to help strengthen your grip so that you can push further up the weight scale. Meanwhile, the strategic padding enables you to operate free weights and weight stacks without blisters and callus build-up. Motion Zones over the knuckles and Web Zones between the fingers promote natural hand movement and help circulate air, preventing hand fatigue.


The Bionic Fitness Gloves are designed to enhance your comfort and grip strength at the gym.
Exclusive Glove Technology--Developed by an Orthopedic Hand Surgeon to:
Reduce Hand Fatigue--Increase Grip Strength--and--Support the Hand's Natural Dexterity
  • Anatomical Relief Pad System: The hand has natural peaks and valleys determined by the placement of the bones. Typically the high points of the bone rub against tools and equipment, causing blisters, calluses, and fatigue. Bionic gloves are designed to solve this problem with strategically placed pads in the glove, that eliminate the peaks and valleys--evening the surface of the hand--to result in improved grip strength, reduced hand fatigue, and reduced friction--to virtually eliminate calluses and blisters.
  • Web and Motion Zones:
    The hands combine 14 phalanx bones as well as large number of tendons and muscles to allow for an intricate range of motion and dexterity. Bionic gloves offer Motion Zones over the knuckles, and Web Zones between the fingers, made of stretchable and breathable Lycra to provide greater flexibility, support the hand's natural dexterity, and keep the hands cool and dry.
