After a couple workouts now with these, time to write a review. 5 stars. Exactly what i was looking for. I’ve used big, padded lifting gloves with wrist straps for years. Now that I’m stronger I wanted to ditch the gloves. I tried going bare handed but quickly learned that blisters were going to hold be back. My search for a not-glove brought me to these. These are very minimal with a leathery palm and stretchy on the knuckles so they don’t move while you are gripping.
Sizing: the sizing seems very true to the chart in the product images. My hands measured in right at 3.5 inches which was right between a medium and a large. I took a chance on the medium, wanting a snug fit so they didn’t rub. That’s exactly how they fit. Medium is perfect for me. With sizing, my advice would be to get the smallest pair that will fit. Some other reviews have pictures where they look to big and the review complained about blisters. You want them snug so they don’t rub. That’s how you prevent blisters. Too large and the gloves themselves will rub.
Not saying these are right for everyone, but if you are looking for something minimal to help prevent blisters these are perfect. Big gloves interfere with your grip as well which could be holding you back. These are plenty open to use stand-alone wrist straps, if you need as well.

These gloves are great. Some people at the gym asked where I got them!
