HarbingerPower Non-Wristwrap Workout Weightlifting Gloves with StretchBack Mesh and Leather Palm

Perfect gloves for weightlifting. Comfortable and get the job done.

I owned a pair of these Harbinger gloves for several years. They fit perfectly and were very durable. I wore them for such a long time that the gloves literally started to wear out and fall apart. I tried to find replacement gloves at various sporting good stores that were the same make and model. Good luck! The gloves I found were either too small, or poorly made. Needless to say, I was skeptical buying them on line. What a pleasant surprise when they arrived. They were the exact gloves that I sought to replace! The size was the same, as was the quality. They performed well and made lifting weights comfortable again. I recommend these gloves to anyone that seeking gloves that are properly padded, light, and well made. Indeed, I plan to purchase another pair to use as added insurance.

I'm participating in a mud run soon, and it's kinda like a boot camp run, complete with ropes to swing on, and fences to climb. It was recommended that I wear these gloves to help ease the strain this will put on my hands. Although I haven't used these yet, I have tried them on and they seem of good quality. I think they will really be a huge help with some of the climbing tasks; I recently participated in an obstacle course during which we had to swing on money bars across a short distance and although I did it, my hands were brush burned after from the material on the bars.I would say these run a bit large, but I went back to the product page and realize that I totally missed in the description that these are a men's size small glove! Whoops! It works out; although they are a little big, they have a velcro fastener at the wrist that can be tightened as much as needed so I am sure they will stay in place. And actually, given that they are only slightly too big, I think that a woman's small would have been too small. (I do have large hands for such a small person).I'll have to try to remember to provide an update after my run (if I make it through!) to provide information on how they hold up and if they protect my hands as intended.UPDATEI made it through the mud run back in August 2014, and I have to confirm that these gloves were as valuable as expected, particularly on one part where I had to navigate through a series of tires swings hung with ropes to get past a mud pit. According to some of my friends participating, the ropes burned the hands, but I had no problem (I had a sunburned back, scratched and bruised legs, and I lost a toenail, but my hands were totally okay). I did only get the one use out of these; they were so muddy I opted to throw them in the "donate" bag. Apparently the run organizers were washing any run clothing that participants decided they didn't want to take home and clean themselves and the salvageable clothes were going to thrift stores. So maybe someone out there has my gloves right now. These definitely held up just fine to the beating they took. I'd recommend these for hand protection.

Love these gloves, I've been looking for a simple glove for weight lifting. These are perfect, no added padding other than the leather palms. Very good fit (XL for me) and comfortable. There was no stitching that bothered by fingers or hand, good velcro wrist tabs. They seem to be sown well, I'm hoping they hold up, I'm not a power lifter and only lift 3-4 times a week for 30 minutes at a time. So far I love them.

Gloves appear well made. Fingers were a little short for my taste as I have long fingers so I returned them. Made In the Philippines. That information is not available on Amazon or the companies website.

I like these gloves. The fit is snug and the glove is small not bulky. Durability is still up in the air as I have not used them much yet. One thing I do not like is the velcro closure. It is backward. With all the gloves I have ever used, including from Harbinger, the strap pulls from the wrist bone toward the thumb for closure. The strap on these gloves goes from thumb toward the wrist bone. That was a very dumb design change. The problem is that if your wrist is big and you don't pull the strap all the way to the end of the velcro strip, that, very-aggressive velcro rubs on your clothing when you do curls for instance and even if you just rest your hands on your thighs between sets, that velcro will grab your clothes. If your sleeve is long, it will also get caught. As we all know what velcro adheres to, it ruins. I put tape over the unused portion of velcro in an effort to save my clothes.

I've been a Harbinger consumer to 20+ years, and have been holding out hope that the stitching integrity will improve...someday. This hasn't occurred yet, which I confirmed with likely my 30th pair during this time span (see attached pictures). The stitching between the fingers and in the palm doesn't deconstruct sometimes, it deconstructs all of the time. More often than not, this occurs within the first 90 days. The fit and comfort are always sufficient, but it's stunning the shoddy construction hasn't improved during this period of time. Yes, shame on me for always coming back, but I'm big on 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc chances. This pair was delivered on Dec 19th, 2023 and had split open in numerous spots (see pics) by Jan 15th, 2024. I typically work out 4-5 times a week for 45 mins to 1 hr 30 mins - so nothing extraordinary on my end to cause this type of glove deconstruction. I know that all of my friends have experienced identical outcomes with their Harbinger gloves over the years, which seems to confirm my historic experience isn't anecdotal. As mentioned, I've long been a Harbinger supporter. However, this would the be proverbial last straw, until they've made a new commitment to stitching and glove construction. Hopefully, this proves helpful for those considering a pair of Harbinger gloves, as I've tried approximately a dozen Harbinger variations, and the result has been identical for two plus decades.
