I was first introduced to this product by my partner. When i got into lifting i started getting callouses and they would be uncomfortable. I tried traditional lifting gloves but hated how restricted my hands felt. When i saw him using these i decided to give them a go. They are wonderful! They give you the freedom to move your fingers without feeling restrained but also enough cushion to protect your hands from the bars. I have been using these on and off for years and recently had to buy another pair after losing one of my beloved gloves. These are a MUST for my gym bag and they last quite awhile too. As a disclaimer, i still get very light callouses even when using these regularly but it doesn’t bother me. When you are in the gym lifting 4x a week something has to give and they give me the protection i need. Highly recommend for anyone that lifts weights.

These are expensive compared to traditional gym gloves or straps, but worth the price for the comfort, safety and ease of use. The open design combined with a full palm coverage and secure position is unbeatable. The leather allows for high traction even with heavier weights. The finger holes do need to stretch to fit, but give it a week and it is fine.

I just got these, I was looking forward cause my hands are sweating a lot at the gym and I lost my foam pads. These are bad quality, very slippery, I was expecting full grain leather, this is a very thin leather (not even sure if it is real leather, or bonded leather). I will return them today. Very disappointed.

I look a bit out of place in the gym, because everyone else uses those gymnastic grips, but for normal bar/ring work (pullups, basically), they work very well. As well, these cost nothing compared to gymnastics grips (the kind that actually work, which are rare).I am not athlete, but after using my one set for about 2 months, they still look pretty good. Once you've worn them a few times, they get easier to take off mid workout, but still stay in place when you need them to.I've converted a few people already; I bet, by the end of the year, most of us will be using these things.

Works reasonably well. Fingers don't fit into the slots quiet snug, the smell of the leather grip is over powering. My entire gym bag smells like leather.

Après une semaine d'utilisation et une dizaine d'heure de sport, voici mon retour :Les + :+ Facile à mettre et à enlever+ Protègent mieux les mains que dans gants classiques.Surtout au niveau de la partie charnue juste en dessous des doigts en haut de la paume.Je fais beaucoup de rameur et ces gants sont bien plus efficaces que des gants classiques.+ Prise en main des objets faciles.+ Fonctionne pour à peu près tout (sauf l'escalade mais ce n'est pas une surprise)+ Bonne aération. Ne garde pas la sueur comme des gants classiques.Les - :- Serre un peu autour des doigts pendant les premières heures d'utilisation.- Trop petit pour les grandes mains ! Je fais presque 1m90 pour plus de 94kg.C'est vraiment dommage que ce soit taille unique.Il manque 2 cm sur le côté et 3cm sur la longueur pour que les gants me protègent vraiment les mains.==> En conclusion, grand adepte de sport en salle, je suis vraiment satisfait de cet achatAvec une possibilité de taille plus grande (XL), j'aurais mis 5 étoilesJe considère ces gants comme une alternative aux gants classiques.Reste à voir la durée du cuir dans le temps.****Mise à jour après 2 ans d'utilisation****Toujours satisfait par les gants. Ils ne sont pas cassés et peu usés malgré la forte utilisation que j'en fait.Avec le temps, le produit s'est légèrement distendu ce qui fait que ça me couvre finalement assez bien les mains mais ce n'est pas optimal.En tout cas, les gants protègent bien et je n'ai pas beaucoup de cornes aux mains.Je passe donc ma note de 4 à 5 étoiles après 2 ans d'utilisations.Je recommande chaudement et vais en acheter pour des amis coach sportifs.

Pros:- Doesn't feel bulky or intrusive, yet provides comfortable protection.- Hands don't feel hot.- Easy to slip on and off; however, I don't need to take them off to unscrew the cap from my bottle of water etc.- I can leave my wedding band on (don't need to worry about damaging it or leaving it in the locker or at home).Con:- As others reviewers mentioned, the lack of thumb protection; however, I only notice this on some palms-down pulling exercises (palms-down bicep curls, vertical rows), and the pros far outweigh the con.

I had purchased a similar product to try in the past for use with my concept 2 rower.My fingers tend to get very sore when I use the rower without any sort of hand protection. I had to stop rowing completely for awhile.The other product I purchased; although it did provide hand protection, was not comfortable at all and I stopped using it shortly after I got it.These GymPaws are MUCH more comfortable and practical. The leather feels like it is high quality and the gloves fit snug without constant movement. So far they seem to be very durable. I expect that they will last a long time.I look forward to being able to use my rower daily without contstant finger pain. Definitely worth the purchase.

I've been using GymPaws for a few days and think they're pretty good. I have two "complaints". I wish there was something over the thumb, rather the area between the index finger and the thumb. Sometimes, towards the end of a workout, my grip would get a bit weak and I tend to hold the dumbbell at the top (towards top plate, specifically when doing step ups or hammer curls, etc) and so the plate would "rub" in the area between my thumb and index finger, leaving bruises.My second "complaint" is that the palm part is not long enough/doesn't offer protection during some exercises, for example triceps dips, chin ups on a straight bar, etc - and it's very uncomfortable doing these without gloves (for me).Anyway, positives outweigh the negatives - they're comfortable overall, I like that my hands can breathe, don't get sweaty, paws are not slippery, the glove is comfortable around the fingers and they seem and feel very well made. I would recommend this product.

Best workout hand accessory I have ever tried. These grips fit me perfectly and did not slip at all as another reviewer mentioned. When you first pull them out of the package they do seem to be very slippery, but once you use them to workout I found that they actually stick to all the different bars that I handled. The only downside is that they are too big for women. The elastic finger rings tend to fold and cause discomfort if you have smaller hands.

Ich habe mir die GymPaws bestellt, weil ich im Fitnessstudio nie den richtigen Halt an den Geräten und den Gewichten hatte. Mit schweißnassen Händen bin ich immer etwas verrutscht oder beinahe ganz abgerutscht.Zuerst wollte ich mir richtige Traininshandschuhe kaufen, habe aber schon im Laden gemerkt, dass man die zwar einigermaßen schnell anziehen, aber teilweise oft sehr schwer wieder ausziehen kann. Auch in ein bis zwei Nummern größer, waren sie immernoch sehr schwer auszuziehen.Seit ein paar Wochen habe ich nun die GymPaws und keine Probleme mehr. Sie sind super schnell übergestreift und genausoschnell wieder runter. Ich kann sogar, wenn ich zu einem Gerät wechsel, für das ich die GymPaws nicht benötige, beiläufig die GymPaws abstreifen und danach schnell wieder anziehen.Und natürlich die Hauptsache: Ich verrutsche nicht mehr an den Geräten bzw. Gewichten. Die lederne Unterseite hält sehr gut und die Verarbeitung ist auch top. Ich bin zwar kein Fachmann aber die Nähte sehen sehr stabil aus. Der Tragekomfort ist auch angenehm. Die GymPaws sind ca. 5mm dick und somit wie ich finde nicht zu klobig, und trotzdem angenehm gepolstert.Alles in Allem bin ich mit dem Produkt super zufrieden und kann es nur weiterempfehlen. Vor allem, wenn man nach einer Alternative für Trainingshandschuhe sucht.

This product is amazing. I've been lifting for over 12 years and have tried most of the products out there in the mainstream. These products are super easy to use, durable, convenient and stylish. At this price point, it is easy to purchase multiple sets in case one of em gets lost. It does take some time to get used to because they are not gloves. All in all, give it a solid 2 weeks and you will feel the flexibility and fun factor of these gloves. Highly recommended!I've always had a problem with sizing issues with workout gloves. This is a no brainer and takes all the guesswork out of the process. You get to pick the style that best fits you!
