Great gloves

Bought for Grandson, who loves them. Very comfortable apparently, and well made.

On arrival I checked them over and unfortunately found that the wrist wrap was not attached to the glove properly for a length of approximately 1/2" (12mm) couldn't be bothered to send them back so superglued the join together (jobs a good'un). !st thing I noticed when using them was that the part of the glove that attaches to the wrist wrap feels like a hard plastic tube against your wrist when the wrist strap is in place and can be quite uncomfortable. I persevered and found I could overcome this problem by playing about with the positioning of this part of the glove to avoid it digging in to my wrist.Once these niggles were sorted they have now become my favourite gloves. If the manufacturer could address these shortcomings I would give them a 5 star.The actual hand part of the gloves are very good quality and padded just right so as to protect your ands but still be able to feel the barbell/dumbbell etc. Been using them for moderately heavy to heavy use for months now and they show very little signs of wear.

TL;DR - As the review title says, these are decent gloves! They almost lasted a year of every day, multiple-hours-per-day training. Would recommend them if the below points mentioned don't phase you. Personally I have switched to others ones, though mainly to explore the market a bit.Purpose - I've used them mainly for heavy lifting and similarly glove-straining push/pull exercises. I normally took them off when doing any calisthenics; for some reason they just didn't feel nice when doing flags or other control/rip heavy moves. They were however fine for basic pull-up exercises.Build - The gloves have decent padding and stitching, though after a few months the stitching around the fingers started to slowly unravel. Their grip is excellent for push exercises, but on some heavier pull exercises they'd start to slip. The padding is good, but said slipping still made it so that they couldn't entirely prevent calluses from forming. The gloves offer pretty decent wrist support. Around half a year in, the (fairly elastic) band stretched too much, so that the 'Velcro' parts ended up misaligned. This resulted in the band not being able to stay put/tight properly anymore.Update 1 - Roughly 60 days of 2 hour training sessions later, these gloves are starting to show wear. The stitching on the right glove (in the curve between the thumb and the index finger) is starting to let go, but it's nothing too dramatic. There's a small tear on the same hand between the index- and middle finger. Neither are getting worse, so I'll just take it as an indicator I should use my left hand a bit more :o) My recommendation stands! These still fit wonderfully.Update 2 - Roughly 80 days in and the stitching is starting to let go on both gloves, causing holes near both thumbs and between the index- and middle finger. On of the padding stitches has also started to let go, revealing the white padding inside, which I could basically pull out right now. I'm still positively surprised, because I do put them under a lot of stress. I'm not done with them yet. I like to wear gloves until they start to lose their function, which is far from the case. Nobody is looking at how pretty your gloves are ;)

One of the main reasons for buying was to stop my hands from being shredded when lifting the heavier weights. I was using gardening gloves up until now (gym in garage), which did the job but left my hands sweaty. I thought I'd finally go ahead and buy a proper pair of lifting gloves and after reading reviews went ahead and bought these.Initially my impressions were very good as they felt comfortable when I put them on. The protection of the palms and base of the fingers was good which is where I noticed the majority of where my callus's used to appear. The problem comes though with my particular weights as when you pick them up they have pointed metal points (for grip) both on the top and the bottom. When I go to pick up a 36kg dumbbell, the last thing I want is for those points to be in direct contact with my skin and press into the ends of my fingers which unfortunately ended up happening as these are fingerless! This may be just down to the weights I have and not a fault of the glove, but if you do have these grip points on your weights then be warned that these may not be suitable or comfortable for your work-out.I also found after a gym session that my hands were stained dark by what I can only presume is the dye used on the gloves. It's not really a problem as after each session I wash my hands anyway, but it does make me wonder how long this would occur for.

Exactly what I needed as putting the bar back down pinched my skin

My second pair, the first pair are around 4 years old and still serviceable and comfortable. I only changed them due to the smell caused by years of sweaty lifting. Can’t blame the gloves for that though! These gloves are a quality item, fit well and are hard wearing. Highly recommended.
