with all thing this review be pretty much a pro and con list of thing that I have experience personally with my glove . after 2 week of 2 a day training in they I have a pretty good feel for they ability and short coming . pro : the glove itself have good hand\/finger coverage in general . the padding in the palm be thin enough for pull exercise but there be enough there to help support heavier weight when you be do a push exercise -lrb- i.e. bench press -rrb- . con : I have be a large in every other glove I have wear , I order the XL just in case they run small and find that even the XL size glove be smaller than the typical glove -lrb- they do stretch out after a day or so -rrb- . overall : I would recommend these glove . heavy lifter might want to seek out a harbinger brand with more padding . I have yet to wash they due to the fray around the wrist area and would like to get my $ value before test they washing\/drying durability .
