they certainly look nice . I just wish they be pad a little heavier on the palm which would assist during military press and benching . also , I wish the finger sleeve be slightly longer as to protect more skin , but that ok . im just use to a old pair of ski glove that i have convert for weight lifting . they have much thicker padding and perhaps in comparison , these fall short . however , these do look great ... and be washable . they claim the leather will not shrink in the dryer either , let hope not . there be a tag on the inside which irritate the wrist at time . pull it off would probably destroy the stiching and diminish the integrity of the glove , so i 'll just leave it . all in all , a decent pair of gym glove for the price . I check around ... these glove be more expensive elsewhere .
