Great gloves. Great price.

Unbelievable price. Shipped pretty fast got three pairs on the day we needed them. Good basic pair of gloves for lifting.More detail ...

A bit pricey but worth every penny

This is the best lifting strap out there. Yes it's the most expensive one but it worth every penny. Very soft and comfortable. No slip surface work very well.More detail ...

Not as bad as others say but could be better...

I bought these after having the Harbinger 1200 Big Grip gloves (midnight blue/black). I wanted to buy another pair since I had been using those gloves for about 4 years lifting 3-5 times a week. I found out from Harbinger over the phone that they no longer manufacture the older pair and was convinced to try these new ones out. Too bad they only have that tan color.



When first giving these a try my only complaint was that the webbing between my pointer finger and thumb would hurt because of the gloves during the lift. This went away after about 3 workouts. The rubber grips/padding are in a more functional design than the previous model and conforms to the weights easier. The breathability is MUCH better than the previous model and I appreciate that a lot.



I don't see why people are so upset about the rubber grips/padding thickness. Did you not see that before you bought them? Anyways the grips/padding are the reason I wanted these gloves (and the Harbinger 1200 when I used those). I lift heavy weights usually dumbbells and the grips/padding allow me to hold onto the weight much longer than I normally would. Doing shrugs with 120 lbs in each hand would be really tough without the extra friction. The thickness does not get in my way at all which may be due to my hand size (can palm a basketball).



My only gripe is that the stitching is already starting to come undone in one area about 1.5 cm long. I have had them 6 months and the previous model didn't start doing that until 3.5 years.



These gloves are not for the average user. I would recommend these to heavy lifters who workout often. The features that make these gloves beneficial do not necessarily benefit the majority. If you stay on the lower end of the dumbell rack (< 80 lbs) or just work out here and there I would just stick to the normal Harbinger gloves. I hope this helps out.More detail ...

Only one small problem

The only problem I had with this belt is the screw that went through the u-bolt stripped out. I just put a longer screw through the u-bolt and used a nut on the end. Other then that I haven't had anymore problems. This dip belt works great and can confirm it will hold 115lbs during dips or pullups.More detail ...

Comparing gloves (4 types)

Boy have I had a hard time finding a pair of weight lifting gloves! My previous ones were simple leather Saranac gloves not much padding but they lasted for several years. The leather eventually rotted out forming huge holes. But I can definitely say that the Saranac gloves were awesome.



Now onto the replacement. I tried four different types of gloves.



Harbinger 143

Harbinger 1260

Harbinger 1215 Big Grip II

GoFit Diamond-Trac



The Harbinger 143 gloves were OK. They didn't have too much padding but fit very snug and were difficult to get off. Also the fingers were short.



The Harbinger 1260 and 1215 were both unusable due to having too much padding in the palm and knuckle area. The padding is comfortable for pressing exercises (e.g. bench press) but makes it all but impossible to do pulling exercises (e.g. pull ups curls deadlifts rows etc.). You can try them yourselves but save some money and take my word for it.



The GoFit Diamond-Trac gloves are the best of the bunch for my needs. They have a little padding in the palm but not enough to interfere with your grip. They are lightweight so I'm not sure how long they'll last but I'll reserve judgment on that. They do make my hands sweat because the neoprene on the back doesn't seem to breathe well. They run a little larger in size than the other gloves. Also I like that they have a finger tab to help you pull off the gloves.

Good weight lifting gloves

These gloves have a good grip and the mesh on the back of the hand permites perpiration to evaporate easily. They contain an antibacterial agent that allows for them not to smell.More detail ...

Comfortable and supportive

I have had these gloves for a month now and have had no problems with them so far. They are both comfortable and supportive during my weight training sessions and I never sweat in them. One feature I find appealing about these gloves is that they can be put in the washer and dryer for quick and easy cleaning. The design of the gloves shows their feminine side without being too showy (no loud colors) which makes them easy to coordinate with any active wear.More detail ...
