I buy these glove because the glove I have be use be tear a part . I be not impressed . I have Schwinn biking glove , buy they 4 year ago for $ 15 at Walmart but hardly use they so when I hit the gym I decide to use they instead of bare hand . they have a very rough surface -lrb- leatherish i think -rrb- and I have no issue with they for 2 year ! these glove already in a month seem to be lose they grip and I have to constantly wash they to remove every little grease\/sweat\/dirt which seem to make they lose they grip . I hardly wash , maybe throw they in the washer once or twice , the Schwinn glove . they be just not worth . I be so worried about the grip on the bench I have to use tissue paper just to make sure they will not slip . for glove make for the very purpose of grip , they be just not impressive . they be definitely more comfortable but when you be bench hundred of lb you do not want something that feel great to you skin you wana know that it be not go to slip and these glove just do not do that .
