I have be work out 5 time a week for a little over a year . at first , the callouse be nothing , and actually welcome , due to the fact that I have a white collar job and have hand comparible to a baby before I start lift . however , after a while when you hand be stiff as board , and callouse peel off and bother you , you start look at alternative . that be when I come onto these glove via trusty Amazon . they be not bulky at all . they seem to be make of very high quality material . after a couple week of heavy use , there be no sign of any wear and tear . I expect to go through they much faster , but they appear to be build to last . the grip be definitely welcome , but they have accomplish the goal I buy they for . my callouse be already visible smaller , and I have not have they dry up and peel off in about a week . so , if you be look for a very reasonably price pair of workout glove , I would recommend wholey . great product .
