at first , I be very skeptical of these glove . I have recently buy $ 15 reebok glove that be completely useless . you could imagine my skepticism when I see these glove be a few dollar less . I decide to take a chance , listen to the review , and order a size medium . pro : excellent padding very good overall padding , especially for back workout . comfortable to wear and react to sweat well inside of the glove it do not get itchy or leave mark all over my hand unlike other brand . con : tight the size be a little tight . I have somewhat feminine hand so I buy these men glove in medium instead of a large . the fit be very snug and take they off cause quite a scene . but the tight fit do not hurt my workout whatsoever . over all , good buy !
