I like these workout glove . they be nicely pad , which be important when use heavy weight or do thing like pushup on dumbell . glove be important when lift for prevent injury as well . I can not count how many time I have scrape , cut , pinch or nick my hand or finger just put weight on or take they off the bar . my hand be medium\/large and I buy large . I would not recommend a smaller size unless you hand be small\/medium .
