needs a release strap
The product was economically and the supplier was responsive. However here is no release strap. So after you've had a heavy work out you literally have to peel the gloves off and they usually come off inside/out. It's like putting on a tight wet pair of pants. It's just so hard to find small lifting gloves for women. Better than nothing but I have got to find a better product. Harbinger used to make one with a wrist wrap in a woman's small and extra small. I haven't been able to locate that again.

Light fresh and durable excellent for biking !
Even thou I bought this item for weight lifting I found out it was better suited for mountain biking because of it's durability (weight lifting materials and make) and well ventilated design (mesh back). Weight lifting gloves should have a wrist band ! in order to protect joints.

Ideal weightlifting glovesI've gone through several gloves over the years(whether from wear and tear or just losing them) and I've got to highlight these as quality gloves.
Weightlifting gloves don't always cover up to the middle of the fingers so calluses form in the middle even if the bottom of the fingers don't. These glove-fingers cover up just past this section of the finger when the hand is flexed.
Also the light breathable back limits the heat buildup from heavier gloves. Wrist wraps have never actually protected my wrists if you can't keep your wrists straight a wrist wrap sure as hell won't be enough to hold it for you. The marginal benefit does not justify the presence of wrist wraps and they're thankfully absent from this glove.
The leather here is softflexible and PROPERLY PLACED. Avoid the other Harbinger lifting glove models at all costs the padding seam in the thumbsection is driven straight into the bone whereas this pad's seam runs smooth. Another nice feature is that unlike my other gloves the material doesn't shrink in the wash so it can be tossed into the laundry instead of having to be handwashed like most gloves. (And you need to wash lifting gloves since gyms are horrendously bacteria-ridden in addition to the odor).
