the Harbinger pro be a great pair of glove . it provide all the abrasive protection and grip you could ever want . however , the area between finger dig into my hand during the first few week of use , but after it be wear in it literally `` fit like a glove '' . I lift 5 time a week with heavy weight do power lift and olympic lift with they , and after almost a year they finally wear out . the first thing to go be the thread that hold the leather in place at the finger -lrb- where the knurling on the bar rub against -rrb- which then lead to the fabric mesh around the finger to come apart . the padding be not excessive but after about a month of lift all the padding be flatten anyways . remember to wash you glove once in a while or they will reek from the sweat . hand wash they with a little bit of hand soap\/detergent and air dry .
