overall , these glove be make of 70 % leather and feel pretty solid on hand , when lift they help by reduce friction of the bar and weight on hand . but there be two severe problem with these glove that knock off two star from this review : 1 - so before buy anything on the internet I read lot of review as experience reflect the truth . when go through some of the bad review of this item I notice some people be have trouble with the size mark on this page as be smaller , so I think , ok there be many good review and the sizing be the problem so I buy a larger size , when it arrive I immediately put they on and they feel perfect -lrb- almost too perfect -rrb- . when I try they out at the gym I start feel they very small specially between the finger and when hold onto a bar and lift it the glove put too much pressure on the webbing of the finger cause a `` itching '' pain make they very uncomfortable almost to a point where I be not able to close hand . so now I be consider buy 2 size larger to get around that problem . 2 -rrb- the velcro pad to secure wrist stick to other part of the glove when not in use , drag out the synthetic fiber out of the fabric make it look use and cheap . the advice I give you if you be consider buy this be that if you wear Medium buy Extra large for example , two size larger .
