Great gloves once broken in. August 9, 2005

I lift about 3 times a week. This is my second pair of Harbinger gloves. The last pair I had lasted me about 5 years and so I was sold on Harbinger quality. Harbinger also fits me better than some gloves. Basically, I don't have fat hands, but I do have fairly long fingers. In addition to fit and quality, I was looking for additional finger protection and wrist wrap protection, which these glove have.
The gloves are a washable leather. I have not washed this pair yet, but my previous pair were washed several times with no ill effects to the gloves or to other items in the laundry.
Everything about these gloves is great. I especially like the extended finger coverage, which goes past the lowest knuckle on me up to the midpoint before the next knuckle. I used to tape there but no longer have to.
The only minor downside is the Big Grip feature, which are imbedded rubber pads in the palm and fingers. The rubber takes a few sessions to break in, and so in the meantime, it's not very flexible. It is most noticeable on curls, where the additional bulk of the rubber prevented me from closing my fist as much around the bar. One of the rubber pads was also digging into my finger for a few sessions, but I adjusted my grip and that has since subsided. If this is a big issue, then I would recommend going for the gel padded Harbinger gloves rather than the rubber padded ones.
I would definitely buy these again, and definitely have some loyalty to Harbinger gloves.
Best quality lifting gloves available July 18, 2006

These are hard to find locally for me (Denver), and are usually priced higher than here on Amazon, by at least five to ten bucks. I use the XL gloves and have rather large hands in general, so I can't comment on the other reviewers' complaints about decreased grip problems. I find these help my grip tremendously as the standard 45lb, 2" olympic bars are just too skinny for my hands and rip them up considerably. The extra padding on these gloves allows me to have the entire bar circumference touching only the glove material, namely the rubber pads. When I wear my XL gloves and curl my fingers around the bar, the leather fingers essentially go all the way to the tip.
After using these for about 4-6weeks (3-5sessions per week), I put them through a wash and dry cycle with regular clothes, cause they do get stinky, kinda like neoprene stinky but a bit more sour. They never bleed, always come out perfect, almost like new--and any slack or looseness that developed during use comes out and they're tight again.
I've had about 7 pairs of these now, going back at least six years. They last usually about a year or more with hard use. Typically a stitch line gives out or the velcro gives out (I frequently loosen and tighten throughout a workout), but I've also worn down the rubber patches and loosened them enough from the leather surround that the glove isn't comfortable, although usually still usable. I suppose if I wanted to go until they were destroyed they'd last about two years.
By far the best wrist-wrap heavy lifting glove I've ever used, and a relative bargain.
Only marginally better than the cheaper gel-padded Harbinger 130 July 20, 2006

Harbinger makes a great weight lifting glove. My last pair (Harbinger 130) endured three years of 5 day a week heavy lifting (ok, heavy is subjective but a 315lb shrug is a good glove test). I replaced the black gel-padded harbingers with these and am ambivalent about the improvements. First, I do not see a whole lot of merit to encasing the back of the hand in leather, especially since the back is only single-stitched. The flexible fabric on the cheaper gloves worked fine and wasn't subject to loose threads. Secondly, the rubber pads are never going to be as flexible as the gel pads. Perhaps if I was pressing 450 instead of half that, then it might make a big difference, but then, I have seen guys get that weight barehanded as well.
One serious advantage these gloves do have over the less expensive ones is that the finger tip leather goes all the way to the end and is triple-stitched for reinforcement. My fingers eventually cut crescents out of the unreinforced finger-ends on the 130s.
Magnificent gloves October 5, 2007

These are by far the best lifting gloves I've tried over the last 10 to 15 years, and I've tried many, even other Harbingers. I rarely review items on Amazon, but these gloves deserve it. I am on my second pair now, about to buy my third, for backup. They give excellent support, the wrist wrap helps a lot with heavy weights so you can maintain proper form and avoid injury. They are comfortable and easy to wash. I cannot think of anything to make them better, they are that good. I would only add that buying the proper size is very important. Harbinger has a sizing chart on its site which helps.
Great for people with large hands June 10, 2008

I always had problems with my fingertips digging into my palms when doing pullups and curls. With the extra padding, it's no longer a problem. My palms measure 9" and I use the XL. The fit is perfect. It's difficult to remove after a workout if you try pulling from the base (palm area) but if you tug on the fingers it comes off with relative ease. The multiple ventilation ports keep my hands from getting too sweaty. I have a wrist injury that I'm recuperating from and the wrist strap keeps me from re-injuring it. The longer fingers means fewer germs getting on my hands from the equipment. The extra grip feels great during pullups and I can do more with less fatigue - plus, a larger grip develops greater grip strength. I wouldn't recommend this for people with smaller hands unless they don't mind having a break-in period to adjust to the larger grip. Also, some of the rubber on the pads of the finger might cut into your finger a little when you wrap your hand. I had to adjust the fit slightly and it's no longer a problem. There's a bit of a funky leather smell but I'm assuming it will dissipate over time and washings.
