Bottom Line

Pros

Cons

Surpasses the competitors in every way — comfort, stability, and support. You won't find a pair that has more to offer.

Pros

Made of genuine leather for long wear. Stretchable fabric makes them easy to remove, and thick, rubber padding helps prevent blistering.

Cons

When new they have a strong chemical smell, but this goes away over time.

Weight Lifting Gloves With Integrated Wrist Support

Check Price

Bottom Line

They have several good qualities, but might not be the best choice for intense lifting.

Pros

Incorporates features such as 12-inch wrist support wraps, secure grip surface and comfortable palm padding.

Cons

Some consumers noted that the seams get loose with frequent and strenuous use.

If you want leather lifting gloves, we suggest the Grip Power Pads instead.

Pros

Combines genuine leather and stretchy fabric for a comfortable fit. Extra-thick padding provides comfort during heavy lifting.

Cons

They are slightly bulky, and they are also expensive.

Best Bang for the Buck

Grip Power Pads®

Cobra Grips PRO Weight Lifting Gloves

Check Price

Bottom Line

Hands down the best value on the market — offers fit, durability, and function at a relatively low price.

Pros

Unique, patented design improves grip and wrist strength. Wrist supports are built in. One-size-fits-all is a nice touch.

Cons

The design is not for everyone, but for the price and quality they are worth trying.

A solid choice if the venting is an attractive feature for you.

Pros

Leather palms prevent slipping while simultaneously providing strategically placed venting to keep hands cool.

Cons

At three months, the warranty is shorter than that of others we reviewed.
