Before this I was using my old pair of cycling gloves when I work out, but now that it started having small holes I've decided to buy a new pair of gloves. Since I'll be using them for quite some time, I wanna ask if you guys know of any good brands out there, or what brands do you guys use? blush.gif

Should I buy those black synthetic leather type (about RM40-50) or Nike dri-fit material type (RM80 for the one I saw), and I checked out their site they have tons of gloves, http://store.nike.com/us/en_us/?l=shop,pwp...Training_Gloves

And I've also heard of Harbringer but kinda costly, above RM100. So what do you guys think?

EDIT: Found Harbinger Men's Power, only RM44, is it good?

buy the glove which lasts the longest. but imo you get a better grip and 'feel' of the weights without one. sure, its gonna hurt for a while but you'll get used to it.

Don't remember. Somewhere around the 70-80 range I think.

I don't like my gloves to be too chunky especially at the wrists. I prefer a little freedom and simplicity. Been using it for like almost 2 years now.

I've been using these for the past 3 years already.

And they've yet to show any signs of wear yet. Not too sure if you can still get them anywhere. But if you happen to see them, get it. Got mine for like 50 bucks or somethin the last time I remember

From what I've gathered, it's either because of that, or sweaty palms.
