Real Leather Hand Pad Workout Glove Alternative | Hygienic n' Washable | Slightly Padded Palm w 4 Finger Loop SweatProof Back | Mens | Womens

So Let me start off by saying patience is the key. I scoured multiple reviews of this style of grip prior to making any decision and finaly decided on ProGrips. All other gip reviews left the durability of their products in doubt as the palms were breaking down after a few short weeks or months (indicated by other product reviews I read). I have noticed the same w/ the simple grip pads that my Box offers. With the Progrips, however, I have not noticed any noticible wear on them as of yet and am very happy with them to date.Please note; I was not initially thrilled w/ my decision after my first use. The first time on the bar, I struggled to maintain a solid grip while doing chin-to-bar. Looking back, this was two fold. 1) The leather was very new and quite smooth initially, so it struggled to maintain a solid grip. 2) Beware of chalk-hounds - Do yourself a favor and do a quick wipedown of the bar to dust off all of the exess chalk that the last person left on the bar.I did two other things in an attempt to "sticky" them up. 1) I washed the ProGrips with dish detergent, did a quick rinse and let them air dry. 2) I took very fine grit sand paper and VERY LIGHTLY roughed up the surface. I'm not sure if either of those two worked any miracles, or if simply over the last few months of use, they just got better (stickier); BUT I did G.I. Jane last night (100 burpee pull ups for time). Every time I bounced up from a burpee and my hands hit that bar, they did not move. Each time I went down into a burpee, the ProGrips did not shift (I did not have to re-adjusting them on my hands once during the entire WOD). It was great, considering two people ripped their hands and I'm struggling w/ a crack in one of my callus's. The entire time, the crack did not bother me.All in all, I am very happy w/ ProGrips. With improvement I think they will only get better. Right now, they are absolutely doing what I need them to do; saving my hands. They are very good and half a dozen people wished they had some last night and asked where to get theirs.

I purchased these for kettlebell workouts, primarily swings and get-ups. Heavier bells were doing a number on my hands and I was developing calluses and these calluses were folding (causing pretty significant discomfort) while doing one-arm swings.The gym paws eliminated this problem. However, they work so well, they are causing me another (hopefully temporary) problem. The lack of friction in the grip and the added padding (increasing the diameter of the grip) has me supporting the entire force of the kettlebell from my hooked fingers...as it should. Unfortunately, my grip is not yet sufficiently strong to hold a heavy bell (28kg) for 10 sets of 10 forceful swings with only a hook grip.The other issue I have is something I've seen mentioned in other reviews. The finger loops for three of the four fingers (all but the index finger) are VERY snug. I don't have particularly large hands, and I need to work to get these on and off of my hands. After a couple weeks, they do seem to be stretching out a little bit, but the sizing needs work as I'd think this would impact the durability of the product...causing the seams to give over time.Overall, glad I bought them. Just wanted to give fair warning to others that might be in a similar situation to me.

I lift heavy 3x/week and cardio train in between, and have been lifting for over 5 years. I have been trying to increase weights each week, but am finding my hands poop out and start to fatigue as the session goes on. My grip strength is pretty impressive, so it wasn't grip I was worried about, just hand fatigue (I may also have early carpal tunnel, which could play a role). I also have some pretty significant calluses (which I am not against but wouldn't mind some more "feminine" hands if I can swing it. I used traditional gloves many years ago (with fair results), and thought that I'd give it a try again. Then I stumbled on the "GymPaws", and my interest was piqued. I ordered a pair, and broke them in one day so far this week with an upper body training session, with the outlined results below:1) I could definitely lift heavier, and perform more sets (deadlifts, dumbbell rows, even bench press). My hands did not wear out nearly as soon into a set.2) Pull ups are a challenge! My gym has pull up bars that are slick, and I found myself grabbing harder onto the bar, which wore me out more quickly.3) The next day, my forearms are CRYING. I have not had sore forearms, I think ever, and today is a little miserable. I am a massage therapist, so you can imagine I need all "hands" (and forearms) on deck. A little stretching and massage will probably help alleviate the lactic acid now built up in those muscles, but it did leave me questioning WHY my forearms are so sore!I have an idea for why my arms are sore: I have been relying on hand and wrist strength/stability to perform my heavier lifts. With the GymPaws, I am relying less on my grip strength and more on muscle strength of the lower arm. This is fine, as it obviously shows me where a weak area is, but man do I wish I had been prepared for this pain! I wonder if other users have experiences this? I'm sure others can commiserate.I plan to alternate lifts using the GymPaws so I don't lose grip strength. Do several sets with and without the Paws. Hopefully over time I find myself less sore and stronger than ever! I do appreciate the overall design compared to the average lifting glove, but maybe one problem is that as a female, I have shorter fingers and so (unlike in the advertised pics), my fingers do not extend as far past the end of the pad.Update to come later, stay tuned!

Buena calidad de producto, al principio tenia un olor desagradable (neopreno) con el tiempo se le fué quitando. cumple su función, desde mi perspectiva podría tener mejor ergonomia.

I've been searching for an alternative for gloves for a while as I was starting to lift heavier and calluses where beginning to become mighty annoying for me. I searched and searched and came across these and ordered them after seeing some of the reviews. What can I say, they are excellent! A steal at the price ; nice fit, real leather so you get a nice grip and they have stopped calluses altogether. The better grip has also meant I've been able to lift a bit heavier which is excellent stuff. They arrived well before the day I was expecting (at least 3 weeks before the estimate) so I'm so so pleased. Stop looking and buy these, they are a steal.

A simple and effective product. Protects the palms from the rubbing and discomfort of gym equipment siuch as weights and rowing machines. I didn't want a pair of lifting gloves but these do the same job perfectly whilst being more discreet and less warm and sweaty to wear. I have only used them a couple of times but they are comfortable and well made.

Excelente producto, justo lo que esperaba. Lo recomiendo ampliamente.

No need to buy any other gym gloves with these. With other gym gloves, you sweat and they stink, these Gym Paws I had my last pair for other two years and did not have that problem at all. That’s just cosmetic though, the actual gloves are fantastic – chiefly because they cover your fingers up past your knuckle and down into your palm, so a much bigger surface area is covered on the hand, making lifting a lot more comfortable. With other gym gloves they don’t cover enough of your hand and you still get calluses. They are the perfect thickness, so they don’t make bars seem thicker, and they’re especially good for chin ups/pull ups because they give your hands a firmer base of support in the dead hang. Great for deadlifting too – if your gym has the thinner Olympic sized bars and you have these then the grip is perfection. Wouldn’t use any other glove as long as these are being made.
