Not what I expected. Honest review.

I've read all the reviews that this is a great product to protect hands from calluses and that it's great for bar training. My experience has proven the opposite. They didn't protect my hands very well. In fact, they made my calluses worse! Let me just say that I have pretty strong hands since I've been training on the barre for a while. So my calluses are developed, but sometimes they still hurt a little depending on what exercises I'm doing on the bar. These gloves are meant to protect your hands, but the layer of fabric on the palm is so thin that it offers no protection, especially when you're doing exercises that involve rotating your arms around the bar, such as squats. B. Power ups. Also, it's very important to note that you MUST use chalk for them to even work. The fabric is really slippery so the chalk needs to soak in it to provide a decent grip. Otherwise, those grips will force you to really strain to grab the bar so you don't slip, causing even more hand friction that will aggravate your blisters. So if you're going to buy them, then prepare to use chalk! The finger holes aren't very comfortable either, but will get better over time. At least the stitching seems pretty strong and durable. However, the thick seam that goes over the callus area of the little finger is not very comfortable. This puts extra pressure on that particular area. Therefore, these holds can be good for those with very stiff hands who also want minimal layering between the hands and the bar. Chalk must also be used here, otherwise the material is very slippery. All in all I would prefer the Bear Complex carbon grips as they are so much better.
