Schiek Sports 530 Platinum Lifting Gloves - Wrist Wrap Non Slip Exercise Gloves

Was looking for decent pair of gel padded workout gloves that would be good for all around weightlifting as well as provide a little extra comfort and protection on my "heavy days" (just like a bad tampon commercial... ). Anyway, perused the local sporting goods stores and tried on all the usual suspects, but never did find a pair of these particular gloves available on the shelf to try on. However decided to buy them sight unseen through Amazon simply because they seemed to have all the features of the best made gloves and the fins seemed like a great idea (good fitting workout gloves are indeed hard to get off - especially after a nice sweaty workout). Was a little concerned about the sizing, but luckily their sizing (at least for size L) seems to be consistent with the sizing of the brand X and brand Y gloves I had tried on in the stores and upon arrival they fit as hoped for.After using these gloves for a few weeks, I must say they are all I hoped they would be. My acne has cleared up, my libido has gone through the roof and even my girlfriend's mother and little sister have been openly hitting on me. Not only that but the gel padding does in fact, as I had hoped, provide sufficient comfort on those Heavy Days and at the same time the gloves provide enough dexterity that I can still fumble my cell phone out of my sweat pants pocket and fire off text messages to you know who without having to remove the gloves - and when the time does come to remove them the fins do work superbly - and personally, I think the fins are somewhat aesthetically pleasing in a sort of Mad Max Beyond ThunderDome kind of way.I haven't ran them through the washer yet (dirty boy that I am), so I can't say how they are going to hold up to that nor can I really predict their long term durability, but I would be surprised if they don't hold up fairly well for awhile and so far I can see no obvious reasons why they won't. Overall, in my opinion a perfectly pleasing purchase worthy of my highest rating... quite unlike the reconditioned Weedeater SST25 I just bought through Amazon - but that is for another day and another review (one with a few less stars attached, unfortunately).Meanwhile, have a great day, and cheers to all!- BxbPS: on a side note, I should mention that the picture associated with the Large version of these gloves - at least at the time of purchase and still as I'm writing this - is not a very good representation of what the gloves look like at all - almost looks like a slightly different glove design. If you look at some of the other sizes available you can see what the gloves really look like.

There are the best gloves I’ve tried. I wish they were more durable and less expensive. Also, the velcro seem to fail sooner than the glove itself.

good glove but did not provide any wrist support

So first off about the gloves. These are the best I have used. I had used Harbinger gloves for years and had to replace them every few months. The Harbingers would start falling apart and would also begin to smell bad even after washing and airing out. The Schiek gloves however are made of a higher quality material and the workmanship is top notch. I do advise you buy a size smaller than the Harbingers because these do tend to run large. XL Harbingers would be equal to a Large with the Schiek. Also the leather does require about a week (4-5 works outs) to break in comfortably. Also I used them for 3 months and a couple wash's and their is no lingering nasty sweat oder.As for customer service, I bought these from Fogdog and they are very prompt to respond to emails. I did have a issue with the thumb ares starting to split on both gloves and I must say i was a bit unhappy. When contacting Fogdog they gave me the customer service # to Schiek and I called them and actually spoke to a live person. They apologized for my problem and assured me this is not a common problem. I was asked to send in the gloves for them to inspect and less than a week later I have just received a brand new pair. Fantastic customer service from both parties.If you are looking for quality gloves spend the extra money and buy these. You won't be sorry.

Purchased on Amazon (prime) by the cheapest seller.All other sellers on amazon had them going for 30%+ more. The grainy picture illustrating the gloves looked to be of a different model glove but the correct glove showed up.Gloves are well made and comfortable. My hand measured 9 1/4" and fit well going with the large.

Feels great and has a good grip

Purchased on sale after waiting for a good price. Very stiff at first but breaks in. The fins to ease removal are useless in my opinion. Good gel padding.

Sheik is the best workout gloves currently available. They are well-made and durability is top notch. These are 3/4 finger so if you're doing pulls the gloves will extend a little longer than normal.Love these.
