Anyone have suggestions for weightlifting gloves? I plan to start lifting heavy...(still working up to it, did 20 lb curls today) Some of the reviews I've seen on Amazon for the Harbinger and Saranac b-grl gloves aren't that great. I have small hands...and I want something that's comfortable.

I use cheapies from Walmart. But, considering I avoid using them whenever possible, I'm not picky about quality.0

go to a sporting goods store and try some on0

No specific brands or anything that are better than others? I like to buy quality equipment, not cheap stuff....as tempting as the cheap stuff is...haha.0

I use Harbingers. Some people say theirs get holes quickly but I've had mine for about a year and no troubles. I also lift heavy. They weren't too expensive so when I have to replace them I won't be too upset. Just go try some one. I would go with cheapies first because what if you don't like lifting in them?0

Got mine on sale at Kmart...Weider brand. Less than $10. Serves their purpose.0

I bought Nike ones almost 3 years ago, I also lift heavy and they really helped. They are women's (so made for smaller hands) and they're still holding in there (although they are getting pretty frayed around the edges).0

I like to feel the knurling (grip) on the bar so I rarely ever where gloves. If my calluses are too thick and I'm doing heavy barbell/dumbell curls these are the gloves I use. They are "fingerless" and they are easy to take on and off.

Was just going to say something similar.
For me, I prefer without as it feels more comfortable and natural. You get calluses but they only really show just after a workout, the rest of the time I can only see mine a tiny bit.
If you prefer gloves though, any decent sports shop should stock them, I've seen loads about where I live, just try them on until you find ones that fit nicely.0 -
I use Harbinger gloves.0

If you're going heavy, I strongly recommend some wrist straps.0

I like the Harbinger gloves--they are a little bulkier, however. I do think it is best to try them on--I went to the store when I got mine and ended up with a completely different size that I had planned.
Mine wear great--again, a little stiff to get on and off, but you can just throw them in the wash when needed.
I have one hole in the thumb, but that's one my buddy chewed in right before he died, so I wouldn't give that up for anything. Dogs, or at least mine did --LOVE used weight lifting gloves. He would nudge open the zipper in my gym bag and root around for 10 minutes if necessary to find them.0 -

Chalk and usually only when pulling.0
-
I think clausses (sp) on a man's hand from weights are sexy as hell0
-
I don't recommend em, unless you really need wrist support on pressing. The callouses and blisters are your badges of honor - cherish them.0
-
No chalk allowed in my gym, I do wear gloves on lifting days - fingerless ones as mentioned above.0
