Weight lifting gloves protect the hand during weight training. They are designed to prevent injuries to the hand muscles and bones when lifting heavy loads. They also prevent minor topical injuries, such as blisters and calluses. Weight lifting gloves usually cover the entire palm and leave the fingers exposed.
Nylon Weight Lifting Gloves are light and durable, but not very breathable. Some varieties are smooth and slippery, making it hard to gain proper grip on the weight.
Neoprene Weight Lifting Gloves are made of neoprene, a tough synthetic fabric. They are usually lightweight and breathable, and provide excellent grip.
Leather Weight Lifting Gloves are made of goat skin, sheepskin, or synthetic leather, often lined at the edges with nylon or spandex. They are heavier than nylon or neoprene gloves, but are more durable and usually last longer.
Grip: Choose weight lifting gloves that cling to the weight bars and will not shift around the bar while lifting. Look for one with a rough or textured palm area to provide good grip.
Fit and comfort: Choose weight lifting gloves that fit snugly but comfortably over your hands. Make sure they are properly padded and made of soft, breathable material. If your palms tend to sweat a lot during your workout, look for gloves made of absorbent or wicking fabrics to help absorb sweat.
