Sports reviews of Harbinger 143 Men's Pro FlexClosure Wash & Dry Gloves
Customer Review: good no-frills glove
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I'm ecstatic about these gloves, so much that I just ordered another pair to have around when this pair wears out (not in the foreseeable future). First, the sizing...for comparison, I wear a medium in Nike batting glove, Nike golf glove, Specialized & Pearl Izumi bicycling gloves, as well as Burton/DaKine/Grenade snowboarding gloves. Simply put, I have always been a Medium. My hand measures 8" in perimeter when measured according to Harbinger's sizing guide (see size chart picture). The sizing guide worked well for me so I wouldn't deviate from its recommendation. Second, the material - the back of the hand has thin strips of leather to provide structure and an elastic fabric that stretches to allow for a comfortable fit. The palm of the hand is very lightly padded, less than the gel padding found in high end mountain/road bicycling gloves. Third, finger coverage - the coverage of this glove extends just beyond my knuckles when I'm grasping the barbell/dumbbell so it does protect against calluses on the underside of that knuckle area if that's something important to you. Fourth, the velcro strap is secured inward rather than outward which feels strange to me. It's not a big deal but something that I'd like to note. Lastly, I do not feel any discomfort with regards to raised edges/seams on the inside of the gloves. Though that seems like a trivial attribute to note, I quickly realized the importance of a seamless interior when my previous pair of gloves caused so much discomfort that I would have long lasting (but still temporary) impressions on my hands after my workouts.
In summary, this is a well designed, nice fitting, and comfortable pair of workout gloves. They're almost as comfortable as the nicer neoprene gloves but these look like they may be more durable. The current discounted price (10% discount for Harbinger products) makes this a no-brainer purchase. At this price level, I see no need to splurge on a fancy pair of gloves or risk the discomfort of cheaper gloves. Appearance wise, they look like plain Jane workout gloves which I prefer. There is, as mentioned by others, a chemical smell when these are new but the scent isn't strong enough to raise any safety concerns. As usual, the ratings on Amazon are spot on and I'm glad I came across these helpful reviews.
Description of Harbinger 143 Men's Pro FlexClosure Wash & Dry Gloves
Men's Pro Natural Wash & Dry Gloves Leather is 100% Machine washable and dryableSpecially designed for men, this pair of Harbinger Pro gloves is ideal for all-purpose training and frequent weightlifting. The gloves are distinguished by their stretch "ventilator mesh" construction, which lets the hand and fingers bend naturally while staying cool, along with the abrasion-resistant leather on the palm, which maximizes glove wear. The gloves stay secure and snug, meanwhile, thanks to the adjustable wrist closures. And lifters will love the short finger length, which reduces unwanted bulk. Perhaps the best feature, however, is the easy-to-clean fabric, which is 100-percent machine washable and dryable. Also outfitted with wrap-around thumb cushions, the gloves are available in natural and black colors.
