I have use various glove for upper body workout and these be by far the best . expect extra cushion . if you have small hand , these be great to get a better grip on large pole . they be tight and fit nicely . it may be harder to take off after you hand get hot , but that be to be expect . a great product from Harbinger . do not expect any glove to last for century . all glove have normal wear and tear . it be hard to find this kind at store .
