if you be look for glove to ease `` friction and discomfort '' when grasp any bar with weight attach , then you 'll love these glove ; they be pad where pragmatically `` gripping friction '' and discomfort occur , unlike a couple other glove I have encounter that do nothing to alleviate such , they also look great . one `` iffy '' issue concern these Harbinger grip glove , be `` size . '' you may want to buy one size up from you actual regular glove size . for instance ; I possess hand that be more or less `` small '' if not regular `` man '' size hand , yet despite that fact , I find the `` medium '' size I buy a bit tight the first time I put they on . eventually they have stretch to comfort level , but still somewhat difficult to slip on and off . frankly I have never measure my hand by place they directly beside other man hand , that would be weird and daunting task to say the least ; but judge from pure visual perception over the year , I would classify my hand as somewhat on the `` small '' or medium in man size glove , as a matter of fact I have always wear medium size glove , to my recollection .
