Contraband Pink Label 5537 Womens Micro Weight Lifting Gloves w/Grip-Lock Silicone Padding (Pair) - Minimalist Half Gloves - Apple Watch Friendly

I bought these for my classes at OrangeTheory Fitness and I wonder how I lived without them. A must have for weights and rowing machines.

So, I bought these "micro" gloves for my girlfriend to see how she would like them. I prefer to just chalk up my hands and get to work, but after grinding it out at the gym my girlfriend began to develop some minor calluses on her palms...as one would expect. Calluses for me are a sign of "working hands", but they definitely don't have the same meaning for woman...or in this case my girlfriend. Now, these "micro" gloves are just that...micro. They are not a typical style workout glove in the sense that they only cover about half the palm. I had her try them out for a couple weeks to let them get broken in (I know, I know, this isn't a baseball glove, but still) and to see how they felt. Once she got over the initial awkward feel of onlyhaving half a glove, she actually felt as if they helped her out. For example, when we would deadlift, she used to need the help of lifting straps to get through the set. With these micro gloves she was able to maintain a pretty significnat grip on the bar to where she didn't need the straps. Same thing when she was doing LAT pulldowns. The bar at our gym has some pretty serious grip etching, so these gloves helped out with comfort as well as grip. The velcro on the gloves keeps them tight and secure, as well as the flexability of the material allows them to "move" with you.

Purchase these for my Orange Theory workout. I had a pair of biker Style gloves that I was originally using but my hands would get too hot and sweaty in them. These have amazing question through the areas that become callus on your palms they fit snugly and come off easily. Best yet my hands don't sweat anymore.

I bought these to use as wheelchair gloves because my handrims have no grip to them. I really appreciate having an option that doesn't cover my whole hand (especially for the summer). The upper fabric is breathable so your hands don't end up sweaty.The description was a bit misleading, It says the item has a "Synthetic Leather/silicone palm". However, the palm is actually fabric with silicone beads. The only pieces of synthetic leather come in the small little pads at the end of each finger. (Circled in red in picture)They have a small amount of padding inside the glove which makes the grip on the thin handrail a bit easier. They have a medium grip. The silicone beads stand up well to friction. The lycra in the webbing of the fingers allows for good hand movement and natural dexterity. However, I've been using them for about a week now and webbing in-between the fingers has started to stretch out from friction and the fit isn't as tight in the individual fingers. I had to cut off the glove removal tabs because they kept getting in the way and driving me nuts (thats why they aren't in the picture). They still fit tightly across the palm and work fine however. When measuring for size make sure you pull the tape measure as tight as you would want the gloves to feel.All in all I'm pleased. I don't expect them to last an incredibly long time (maybe a few months) but they are comfortable and do what I need them too. I knocked them down a star for the misleading description.

I absolutely love these workout gloves! When I'm in the gym and sweaty I dont like anything to be touching me. It really upsets me when I have a regular weiggt lifting glove on and cant get it off fast enough.These gloves are just perfect for most workouts you do involving a bar or handles. I use mine alot on the rowing machine at the gym. The material is soft amd doesn't stick to you when your sweaty.On the bottom side there are little gripies to help the bar not slip. Also one of my favorite features are the little pull tags on two fingers u can pull and helps you take them off. Only thing is, I used the measuring method provided but wish i would of gotten a small. Next pair! Great quality, great price!

I like the fact that these do not make my hands sweat with the minimalist design. The pink also looks awesome. They give me good grip and cushioning, however the bottom band of the glove sits right across my palm where a dumbbell sits when I'm lifting. If i'm using a 20 or higher it is a little uncomfortable because the dumbbell bar presses the band of the glove into my palm. I wish this band was thinner or flatter.

These gloves are the best! I go to the gym everyday and my favorite thing to do is use the row machine. While I love to row I would have to stop after about 15 minutes because my hands would start to slip from the sweat and I started to develop horrible, painful blisters. I came across these on amazon and thought for $20, they were worth a try. And man are they worth it! My hands thank me everyday! As you can see in the pictures I’ve attached, my hands are about 6.5 inches long and almost 4 inches wide. I bought an xsmall and they fit perfect. Hope this helps!

I bought these because I was tired of having sore hands after my Orangetheory Fitness workouts, specifically during the rowing portion. I have used these for a few workouts now and I have to say I am so happy! My hands don't ache anymore and my callouses aren't hurting nearly as bad as they once were. I don't think I will use them too much during the weight floor portion of the workout, but definitely a new staple and must have during the rows.

I was looking for something to help with chin ups and pull ups. I have tried holding the bar at home and in my gym and both were easier with my bare hands. The grippy bits are useless for this and they are too padded. They look good and fit ok but not practical at all as the bar slips in your hands with these on. Disappointing and will be getting a refund at the expense of my time.

I have found these gloves have prenlvwmtede getting the hard skin. The only downside is my palms get sweaty which makes other hiit based exercise more interesting if it's on a mat
