this be my first attempt at lift glove , so I do not have a lot to compare it to . but these glove be a disappointment . they be both too loose and too tight . my hand be about medium length for a guy , but they be kind of petite and small with regard to width of palm and digit . I buy these glove in extra-large . they be too small in that they kinda pinch the webbed skin in between each finger . they be kind of painful . and they be too big overall , lot of extra fabric , all over . they be just too big for I . I do not believe there be any size of this harbinger glove that would fit my hand . on the positive side , the Harbinger glove have a -lrb- somewhat -rrb- grippy material on the palm that will help you get a better grip on the weight . this be good , because it feel kind of scary holding weight when I can not feel they like I use to . I hate lose the sense of touch that come from wear no glove . but the callus be get to be a problem . the biggest problem with these glove , though , be they basic design . when you bend you hand to hold a bar , you have all this extra fabric that bunch up at the intersection between you palm and finger . the solution , of course , be to find a glove that come pre-bent , so that you can not easily flatten you hand , but when you bend you hand and finger around the bar , there be not any extra fabric to bunch up . today a buy a new pair of glove at my gym . they be `` Valeo Ocelot Lifting Glove '' size medium . these be really comfortable and actually fit my hand . the inside of the glove feel great . one problem be that the palm side of the glove have no grippy material , so it be hard to get a great grip on the bar . that make I really nervous , because lose you grip on the bar could be disastrous . and these Valeo glove have the same problem as the Harbinger glove - when you bend you hand around the bar , all this extra fabric bunch up at the intersection between you palm and finger . this really mess up my ability to get a good grip on the bar . so , the Valeo glove be a much better fit than the Harbinger glove . but neither be 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 .
