Customer Review: Better, But Not Great.
Sport shop rating: 3 Stars
I've been using these gloves for maybe 2 years now. They are probably the most comfortable gloves I've ever worn....when I first buy them. In the last 2 years I've gone through about a dozen pairs. I buy them at Academy, and I've only actually paid for a few of those pairs. The rest have been replacements due to returning prematurely worn gloves to Academy. It has gotten to the point where anyone working the cust. serv line there knows why I'm there as soon as they see me.
These gloves work fine for moderate lifting. They have decent grip when you first buy them, and require no break in like some gloves.
But after a while the pinky always splits at the seam. I usually sew this back up. Then the seam on the ridge of the palm splits. I usually sew this too. Then the palms get worn through in small spots, and the rest of the palm becomes worn smooth and hard, offers no grip what so ever. Its not fun curling 145# on an ez bar and having the bar spin in your hands like its on bearings. I'm finally going to try something else.
Customer Review: Valeo Ocelot Wrist Strap Lifting Gloves

These gloves are too think around the palms to get a good grip. I use them for kettlebell workouts and you need to swing the weights. But you also need to be able to have control over the kettlebell. So sure, the leather gloves have lots of padding so you won't tear up your hands, but you might also drop the kettlebell. So these gloves aren't very good for that purpose. I think the GOFIT gloves of similar style are much better, thinner, but thick enough to prevent the hands from getting blistered. Also, the wrist strap provide protection for the forearm and wrist so they are protected from getting banged up by the kettlebell if it flips over too hard. These Ocelot loves might be better for more static types of weight lifting where you are just slowly picking up a barbell or dumbell. But for swinging kettlebells, they're not good at all. Hence, they get three stars. They do protect your hands.Customer Review: Decent at best...

I have been using these gloves for almost three months now. In the three months I have had to sew these things back together twice! Now they are tearing in an area that cannot be stiched together. I loved the feel of the glove. The best I've ever worn. They just don't hold up long enough.Customer Review: one armed exercise

I received my Valeo Ocelot training "glove", still waiting for the other. Bubble pack had only one glove in it. Amazon HELP has no concept of partial shipment.
