Amazon.com Product Description
Specially designed for men, this pair of Harbinger Pro gloves is ideal for all-purpose training and frequent weightlifting. The gloves are distinguished by their stretch "ventilator mesh" construction, which lets the hand and fingers bend naturally while staying cool, along with the abrasion-resistant leather on the palm, which maximizes glove wear. The gloves stay secure and snug, meanwhile, thanks to the adjustable wrist closures. And lifters will love the short finger length, which reduces unwanted bulk. Perhaps the best feature, however, is the easy-to-clean fabric, which is 100-percent machine washable and dryable. Also outfitted with wrap-around thumb cushions, the gloves are available in natural and black colors.

 Pretty good. I'd recommend them. August 30, 2010
James Garthwaite III (Shelton, CT United States)
I use these whenever working out with my free weights. They definitely save your hands from blisters and a lot of other wear and tear. I'd recommend them.
Well built glove, way too small August 15, 2010
Pen name
I have been using these gloves for a month and have been hoping they would stretch out some. They have stretched out some over time but not enough. I read the reviews before I purchased them and saw all of the comments about how small the gloves are so I ordered a XXL size even though I am typically and XL. Upsizing the gloves 1 size was not enough for me because these gloves and too are still too small. They are very well built and should be very durable, the sizing just stinks. If you are considering buying these gloves you should upsize them 1 - 2 sizes.
 Disappointing August 13, 2010
FroggyM (Washington, DC)
This was my first attempt at lifting gloves, so I don't have a lot to compare it to. But these gloves are a disappointment. They're both too loose and too tight. My hands are about medium length for a guy, but they're kind of petite and small with regard to width of palm and digits. I bought these gloves in extra-large. They're too small in that they kinda pinch the webbed skin in between each finger. They're kind of painful. And they're too big overall, lots of extra fabric, all over. They're just too big for me. I don't believe there is any size of this Harbinger glove that would fit my hand.
On the positive side, the Harbinger gloves have a (somewhat) grippy material on the palm that will help you get a better grip on the weights. This is good, because it feels kind of scary holding weights when I can't feel them like I used to. I hate losing the sense of touch that comes from wearing no gloves. But the calluses are getting to be a problem.
The biggest problem with these gloves, though, is their basic design. When you bend your hand to hold a bar, you have all this extra fabric that bunches up at the intersection between your palm and fingers. The solution, of course, is to find a glove that comes pre-bent, so that you can't easily flatten your hand, but when you bend your hand and fingers around the bar, there isn't any extra fabric to bunch up.
Today a bought a new pair of gloves at my gym. They are "Valeo Ocelot Lifting Glove" size medium. These are really comfortable and actually fit my hand. The inside of the glove feels great. One problem is that the palm side of the glove has no grippy material, so it's hard to get a great grip on the bar. That makes me really nervous, because losing your grip on the bar could be disastrous. And these Valeo gloves have the same problem as the Harbinger gloves - when you bend your hand around the bar, all this extra fabric bunches up at the intersection between your palm and fingers. This really messes up my ability to get a good grip on the bar.
So, the Valeo gloves are a much better fit than the Harbinger gloves. But neither is great. I need to find a "pre-bent" glove with a great grippy material, and less fabric overall to bunch up. If you know of one, please comment. Thanks.
 These are great gloves but the run small August 10, 2010
Katherine Runyon (Livermore California)
I got these for weightlifting, they are great. I measured before I ordered, and ordered the size recommended by the measurement. They were ok to put on and take off once per session. But then I had an accident and ended up in a wheelchair and they were way to tight to put on and off several times a day. I ordered up a size and prefer them. When you wash them they get smaller so really you should order up a size unless you are lifting huge amounts and want no movement and are ok if you need a minute to get them off.
Once you find your proper size the gloves are fabulous, they really have held up under daily use. Good quality stitching, good quality materials, they are great gloves. And the price is amazing. You will be happy.
Great value for the money! August 4, 2010

Yes there may be gym gloves that you can get for a couple dollars less, but the quality suffers by a lot.
This pair of gloves are not only stylish but they serve their purpose to the best.
