Elite Leather Gym Gloves with Built in 2″ Wide Wrist Wraps Grip & Design for Weightlifting Power Lifting Bodybuilding & Strength Training Workout Exercises

Improvement over my previous wrist-wrap gloves
I’ve been using wrist-wrap gloves (Harbinger classics) for 20 years, and go through about three to four pair a year. I fractured a wrist about 15 years ago, so the wrist wrap feature is very important to me. I do a heavy upper-body workout three times a week. My comments here compare these gloves against the Harbinger Classic wrist-wrap gloves.Great features:1. Wrist wrap width. 2 Inches is fantastic and a step up from the Harbinger Classics.2. Palm padding: This feels better so far and seems to be superior to what I grew used to with Harbinger Classics. Those were not bad, but these are better.3. Finger quick-release tabs and strings (note: not the thumb quick release feature mentioned in “Others” below)4. The Velcro attachments on the wrist wraps are superior to the ones currently on Harbinger Classics. In addition, they have one that binds right at the wrist, then one that is at the end of the wrap. This allows for a better adjustment experience.5. Overall Fit: I used the sizing chart and it was good for getting the right size gloves for my palms. The gloves are snug overall, like I like them, with not too much play in the palms as I curl them.”Not sure” features:1. Finger length. These are longer than with the Harbinger Classics, and cover up the knuckle completely. So far I haven’t seen a problem with that, but it definitely gives a different feel when you grip. Nothing rubs or binds, and I think it is just something different that I have to get used to.2. Stitching. It appears to be quality double-stitching, but I won’t be able to honestly compare them until I’ve put 2 to 3 months on them.”Others”1. The quick release leather tap on the thumbs comes up and covers the thumb pad. While it works well to help get the glove off quickly, it gets in the way when you are doing hand weights (think curls) and can easily double over and excessive rub the base of the thumb. It can cause a thumb pinch and if nothing else gets you to drop your concentration while messing with it. I’ve decided after my second workout to simply cut this part off completely. The upper part of the thumb on the glove has a pocket for ease of removal anyway, so it won’t be a big deal. This would have been a great feature if they had put the leather pull pad on the TOP of the thumb vice on the BOTTOM. That would be my major recommendation for a change to this glove.2. There are two little plastic triangles on the inner side edge of the gloves (visible in the picture) that only serve the purpose of holding the two gloves together if you want to do that. Perhaps they make it easier to hang up the pair in a store. They only get in the way at the gym, so I’ve removed those as well. They really are not needed.Overall I’m happy and impressed. I’ll only make the minor alterations I mentioned above. I would give it 5 stars overall, but I will need time to adequately check out how the stitching and padding holds up.Update: I’ve used these gloves for over 4 months now, and they are still in great shape. I would have gone through at least one pair of Harbinger Classics by now. I have increased my review from 4 to 5 stars because of the durability. I could probably go a full year with this pair, but I’ll order another on two months and use that as my primary heavy-day gloves, and the older pair for my light-day gloves. I highly recommend them if you need wrist support.Update 2: I’ve used these gloves for just over 7 months now, and the wear is starting to take its toll. Seams at the bottom of the palm of one glove have opened up, and a seam along the inside of the opposite glove has opened up as well. I’m probably going to give the another month, then re-order a new pair. They claim they last a full year, but I’m seeing about 8 months. Still, that’s better than anything else I have ever had, so I will go for another pair. Still 5 stars in terms of performance in my opinion.

Waste of money
The gloves started out ok but within 3-4 months the palm on both hands have ripped. The sewing on both thumbs have come undone. The pinky on the right hand has ripped inside somehow. For $54 dollars I expected WAY MORE then a few months of use. I don’t recommend these. Waste of money. If the company gets back to me, we will see about any changes but a of now, DON’T BUY THESE GLOVES.

Good mits!
I really like these gloves! They’re very well made and structurally sound. It took a little while to break them in and get used to the feel of them because they felt a little bulky at first. But the break in period didn’t take long. I look forward to seeing how well they hold up in the long run. I’m typically not hard on gloves but the past few pairs of other more known gloves that you get at the big box stores didn’t hold up at all. These seem like they’re going to last a while.

Started ripping after two months of light use
Very comfortable once broken in, but started ripping after about only 2 months of only working out about 3 times a week.

These are some of the best gloves around. Great quality and extremely durable. I would expect them to last a couple of years at least. They also have very good wrist support which is important for lifters and lots of thoughtful touches which just add to the quality of the gloves.

Excelente calidad, fue un regalo para mi papá y le encantaron, las cintas para quitarse los guantes son un excelente aditamento.

It is comfortable pair of gloves, I am looking forward to try them on for my next workout. Cushioning is well designed and very well engineered. Wrist grip is perfect.
