Customer Review: Recommended, but quality could be better
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
This is the second pair of Valeo Ocelot Wrist Wraps that I've owned. I was pleased enough with my first pair to purchase the same pair again.
My first pair was well-worn- the stitching on one of the pinky fingers was coming undone and there was some chafing on the palms of the gloves. They lasted for a little over a year, with usage on average 3 times/week for 60-75 minutes per session. The gloves were primarily used with barbells and dumbbells at high weights.
Pros: Wrist-wrap feature provides added support when wrist strength is important (for example, heavy dumbbell presses), durable, accurate sizing
Cons: On the very first usage with my second pair, the velco on the wrist wrap part began to come loose and start peeling away.
I have owned several pairs of weight-lifting gloves before and for the price, I would recommend purchasing them. I have had other gloves that have been shredded after a year, but I was pleased with the overall wear-and-tear on these. I am slightly disappointed with the velco issue mentioned above, but I plan on applying some epoxy to it before this becomes a major issue.
Customer Review: Finally, a future without calloused hands!
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
I had been searching for a glove with padded palms and fingers for the purpose of doing pull-ups. I just started a Crossfit Class, and pull-ups are almost a daily part of the class. I'm new to pull-ups, so the skin on my hands have really taken a beating. Blisters to callouses--doesn't make for very "lady" like hands.
I'm so glad to have found these for a reasonable price. They are nicely padded on the palms and the finger padding also extends up midway up your fingers (a prime spot for callouses due to pull ups). I'll have to rough them up a bit so I don't slip off the bar, but still a huge improvement and at least I will be able to focus on my upper body strength, instead of my hand pain.
The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5, is due to the poor ventilation in the glove. They need some perforation or something on the palm. My hands got so hot and balmy. Also, highly recommend washing before wear. The orange dye, dyed my hands. Looked like a bad self tan application. ;)
Customer Review: why no five stars
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
this is indeeded a great pair of lifting gloves : soft on the palm and elastic mat'l placed on the right slots.
why no five stars :
1. The sizing chart does not work, so you have to guess or based on your last gloves's size to order it
2. The gloves come in snug fit. My harbinger and other gloves's size is medium but for this brand i have to order large as medium is cutting off my fingers n palm circulation.
the manufacturer may think that the leather n the elastic mat'l will stretch overtime but by the time when the gloves feel right, it is also the time to replace a new pair so if in doubt order the next size up.
Customer Review: THEY ARE GLOVES!
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
Be aware - these are SNUG. I'm 5'10, 173 lbs. with pretty small hands - the size L are snug on me, bordering on tight. I'm sure they'll break in, after lifting weights like a real man.
They're not as orange as they look - more like light brown/dark tan. Who cares, anyway? These are for LIFTING WEIGHTS.
Like a REAL MAN.
Wrist support feels great, padding in palms seems good... hey, I have an idea:
STOP READING THIS AND GO LIFT WEIGHTS.
Customer Review: Good gloves but different than Harbinger
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
I like the gloves with two exceptions. The straps are a little short and are elastic. If you are accustom to non-elastic straps, you may feel the elastic ones can't give the same wrist support. The straps are long enough if you snug them up but not enough to release all pressure on the wrists and hands.
