in all honesty , this deserve a 4 out of 5 because 5 would probably be for something awesome . this be just cool , it do it be job normally but I have a valeo workout glove and it do pretty much the same . I have only have it for two week now so I be not completely sure on durability , especially cause I do not use it for vigorous weight training or anything , just here and there . it be comfortable and fit I , however , I notice that even though I follow the size recommendation , it be on the tighter size . not the uncomfortable range , but to the point that if it be even a tad smaller , it would not have work at all . and the only reason it even fit be because I also have skinny hand so if you have normal or big man hand , get a size up . so if you think you be a large , get a extra large , etc etc. . the size go like this , take a tape measure and measure around the knuckle area . completely around . in inch . 6.5 - 7 = x 7 - 7.5 = s 7.5 - 8 = l 8 - 8.5 = x l etc etc. . so if you have skinny hand , you can stay with you size , if you have thick man hand , it be highly recommend to get a size up . I do not have girly hand or anything like that , it be just that my hand be thinner , especially my finger . how durable will probably take time to determine , but so far I be pretty happy , the purchase be a decent one . lift weight feel better .
