I have be use my harbinger 1260 for approximately three week . the padding on the 1260s take a little get use to . the majority of my weight training be on machine that have rubber padding on the grip . this make grip with the Harbingers a little awkward at first , but I get use to it after a couple of workout . only time will tell whether these glove hold up as well as my old Nikes . I use those for over three year -lrb- they be lose -rrb- lifting weight 3 time a week .
