I have a difficult time decide which glove to get . after read the review on many different brand and type , I still be not sure what to do . so I decide to take a chance on the 1260 's . now I be glad I do . I get the xtra large , which I think might be too big , but follow the size chart anyway . when the glove arrive , they be very tight when I first put they on . after a few workout , they loosen up and now fit perfectly . I be also concern about there be too much padding and possibly lose grip . well , now I be glad there be the padding . it be soften and I can really focus on grip the bar when I be lift heavier weight . also they have hold up well so far . good construction , no loose end . overall , they have make a positive difference in my workout . definitely recommend for beginner to intermediate -lrb- that be I -rrb- .
