I have be lift for over 20 year and I like the feeling of control\/comfort a good pair of glove afford I . as of late however , I develop a cyst on the palm of my left hand which impact my daily routine . I read the review on this glove and most people say it be heavily padded which be something I want . I have use harbinger before and they seem to last although they be not as padded as these be . I be concern about what size to order , so I go with what I use with the previous harbinger I own - large . well , they be well-padded for sure and may be a little uncomfortable for some people but they do the trick for I . I can hardly feel the cyst and I think they actually enhance my workout by provide a much better grip . I have be use they for about 3 week now and they seem to be wear well and provide the support I need . they feel a little stiff at first but as you use they they become more comfortable . the glove seem to be make well , time will tell if they can withstand the abuse .
