I have have these glove for about a year and use they 3-4 time a week . I would say that they be the standard by which all glove be set . the padding be perfect . the construction be good -lrb- but not as good as the previously all gray model -rrb- . the fit be outstanding . they be easy to break in . one of my old problem with the cheaper glove be the palm padding tend to fold over time cause pain when lift heavy . these glove cure the problem . the padding be top notch . it be not too much or too little . the only problem be with the smell . I know glove need to be wash , but these need to be wash very frequently as the leather be more porous than usual and tend to absorb the sweat a lot as oppose to the cheaper glove . they color bleed in way that you can not even imagine , so make sure that they be wash on they own . one thing that I will note be that they be get better . the previous all gray version be much worse than these on that front . if you can handle this problem , they be absolutely perfect . these glove be about double the price of cheap glove , but the difference be in comfort . if comfort matter , buy these .
