Superior to other lifting gloves
The media could not be loaded. VERY well made lifting gloves. The quality of the grip, velcro and mesh is all extremely durable. The colors are vibrant, fun and unique. I have 3 or 4 other sets of lifting gloves and these are by far the best! I was at the very top of "small" size for the sizing chart and ordered a size small. They fit my hands perfectly. I am sure they will stretch a little bit as I wear them which will be great (they will still fit me well even if they stretch a little).

Best wheelchair gloves I've tried so far!
I've recently been confined to wheelchair, most likely permanently&awhile I will have a motorized eventually, I like manual so easier to keep muscle tone. But you really have to have a GOOD pair of gloves when using manual as palms of hands get very sore. THESE ARE IT! This is at least the 5th& definitely last. Search is over. These are constructed very well , the Palm cushioning is good enough to prevent all the soreness that usually comes after long time in going around in chair.. It also still looks nice,I wish I could afford couple extra pair so could rotate use, but these are well constructed' durable and am sure will be around for longtime. I hope I can find these again when time comes. Great colors! Want a pair in every one! Thanks for ending my search for a durable yet also nice looking product!

My new favorite gloves
I work out daily with weights of some sort (dumbbell, kettlebell, sandbag) and varying sizes so I have a lot of gloves including gold gym, harbinger, everlast, etc. So far these are my favorites. I found them to be the perfect fit neither too tight nor too loose across the palm or fingers. I do have to peel them off at the end but that is because they fit, well, like a glove. Just the right amount of cushion so that my hands aren't torn up yet I can still get a good grip on the weight. That is especially important for the kettlebells (I know, I really should be just using chalk for kb but I prefer gloves). I haven't had them long- just a couple of weeks- but I have been using them every day often twice a day and so far haven't had any problem with stitching. I plan to order in different colors because I like them so much.

Really Good Weight Gloves
Ordered these to replace my tattered Harbinger gloves as I've used that brand for ages. My most recent pairs didn't hold up well at all so decided to try these based on the reviews. My first pair had some frays, stitches coming out, and the ink bled on my hands pretty good so I contacted the manufacturer. Their customer service was top notch. They sent me another pair and they're great. They advised me that the gloves are handmade so sometimes there are imperfections. All in all, brand new they may bleed, so if that's a concern throw them through a dark load. I personally let them air dry and at first they were a bit stiff but they softened up nicely. I purchased according to their size chart and the fit is perfect. The velcro straps are sturdy and fit well. I've been using them daily and have absolutely no complaints. Excellent quality gloves, highly recommended.

Perfect gloves!!!!
Love love love these! Very comfortable and just the right amount of cute. My boyfriend has been training athletes for over 20 years and even he was pleased with how they were made for me! If you're on the fence between sizes I would size down as these have some stretch to them and you don't want them to slip around. The top is a nice mesh that keeps you cool and sweat free as well. I would buy these again in a heart beat!

RIMSports Weightlifting Gloves used with Wheelchair
Background on Usage:After having a serious breakage of the bones in one foot I was prescribed a wheelchair (rental) and told that I should not place any weight upon it for 6-8 weeks after surgery. That gave me three days to practice with the wheelchair and I have been reliant on it for the week I have been out of the surgery so far. My body was in no shape for this sudden change and having to lift myself up constantly using the palms of my hands as a bearing surface was putting me in a lot of pain. I knew that on TV and whatever I have seen persons who are in a wheelchair either long term or permanently usually wear these leather like gloves that have end half of the fingers. I went on Amazon (where else?) and entered “Wheelchair Gloves” which gave me several options that all seemed to be referred to as Exercise Gloves. I selected this product for the overall appearance that seemed to make them functional for my planned usage without being overly bulky as some options appeared to be. They also had some nice styling touches and a good selection of colors, a girl does like to stay attractive even under these circumstances.The Purchase:The purchase was for a single pair with Pink trim in size XL and I paid extra for overnight Saturday delivery. I had been using the wheelchair for a week at that time and my palms and wrists were getting really sore to the point I was desperate for some help. The gloves fit well straight out of the box and within a couple of days I felt they were well broken in. With that break-in they became more flexible and were easier to get on and off which is a consideration in my usage. They have to come off in the bathroom of course, they will stay cleaner if they are off when I am eating and they are not really great to wear when working on the laptop. None of those instances is what I have them for so that is fine with me. I love them and have already ordered a second pair in Purple so I think that is about as good an endorsement as I could give a product.Usage and Positive Comment:As already stated I made the initial purchase to help protect my hands from what was becoming an increasingly painful experience with the wheelchair. These gloves have a nicely padded palm area with a covering of some form of leather. That also gives the area some reinforcement so that loads feel spread out a little bit from what I was used to. A lot of the loading was from lifting myself up vertically on the front part of the wheelchair side rail which is dropped down and just bare metal tubing. Further back it is a padded armrest but I do not lift up from there as much. Another concern is when I had to pivot towards the left or right while holding myself up on my palms and that is where the material that reinforces the palms can slide over the metal surfaces better than bare skin was. The biggest problem I have been face with is to remember to put the gloves back on before I get into of the wheel chair. My best system for remembering was to lay them on the corner of the chair so I would see them and get that reminder. I did forget to put them on a couple of times (waking up and heading for the bathroom) and it always reminded me of why I like these gloves so much. A good feature that I became aware of is that the gloves are put together in such a way that the normal resting position for your hand is slightly bent into a grip rather than a fully spread open hand. That increases comfort and makes it easier to grab onto the safety bars in the bathroom. I might point out that I am living in a very nice motel with a wheelchair accessible room; there was no way to go home given the small sizes of the hall, doorways and bathroom. It is expensive but the only way I can get through this.Usage and Negative Comment:There is very little I can say about the product that is anything but positive, I like the product and it is working out so well I purchased a second pair in a different color. So I can say that there is a less then great aspect to the Velcro strap that secures the base of the glove to snug it up for retention. That strap is a molded/formed piece of firm rubber with the loop side of the Velcro on its backside. All of that is fine and it makes it easy to manipulate the strap. The problem is that the inner edge is at full thickness and a straight cut across. With that arrangement if the band is not snugged up enough to get it all overlapped with the hook portion on the glove back itself then you have that raised up edge pushing against your hand. I came up with an easy fix, I just took a small pair of sissors that were very sharp and cut away the extra rubber strap. I wet all the way back to the Velcro and tried to make it an angled cut to increase the comfort. Initially I had thought that some sanding boards I have for my manicure could take off the extra but it turned out to be ineffective, the material is just too abrasion resistant. I was in touch with the manufacturer on the issue and they were as helpful as they could be. Having devised a suitable fix on my own they said that they would take it up with the production department to see if it could be incorporated, in some way, to their own processing. Below are the Before and After pictures of the fix and when the new pair arrives I will perform the same modification.In the pictures the problem area is inside the Red oval with the “As Purchased” and “As Modified”. The upper surface of the glove that has the hook side of the Velcro has been folded under so that it would be kept out of the way in the picture. You can see that it has a squared off edge initially and an approximation of a 45° angle afterwards.

Not as pictured! Awful colour!
I ordered the turquoise gloves as they were such a vibrant, gorgeous colour. That is not what they were! They were a dark, dirty turquoise which wasn’t a nice colour at all so I sent them back. I have since found out the company that supplies them has the same picture on their own website. I received an email asking me why I was returning them and replied saying the picture was fake and heard nothing back.

Excellent
I bought these gloves to use with my wheelchair and i must say they are fantastic, they provide excellent protection , not 1 mark or sore spot was left on my hands even after the first time use. I was supprised just how comfortable the are, no pinching at all, plenty of air flow so no horrible sweaty hands even on a hot day and the bright colours are lovely. I highly recommended product and i would definitely purchace these gloves again in a heartbeat

Completely useless!
Most uncomfortable pair of gloves I’ve ever used, I’d go as far to say they are actually painful! Very unhappy- waste of money. Gave them a good try as other reviews mentioned wearing them in a bit but I literally can’t take anymore. When lifting the weight the gloves are so think at the edges they pinch your skin between the glove and the weight. Blisters all over my fingers! Would return if I could!

Gloves look very much as described. If your hands seem to be on the convergence of two sizes, would recommend you go for the smaller one to get a snug fit. The only issue I've noticed is that the mesh material on the back of the hands has already started to fray a little, and I've only used them for a couple of days. Hopefully it won't degrade into a full tear.

Excellent!!
I adore these gloves, They are superb quality and have made such a difference to my weight training. They really help your grip and stop my hands getting calluses. I hand wash these in lukewarm water with a bit of washing powder.
