Best workout gloves?
Hi all,
I've been using some Nike Dri-Fit workout gloves in the gym and they aren't doing a great job of protecting me. I am still getting calluses where my palm meets my fingers.
To be honest, I am not sure if these are even proper workout gloves. They may be for golf... I can't find them anywhere online.
So...I see BB.com has some gloves for sale, for cheap. That's fine. But I would really like to get some good gloves here. Can anyone that has tried at least a few different kinds provide some recommendations?
Thanks!

No sweat. I've only lifted with them once, but I don't like gloves for some reason.

Nike gloves suck, they fall apart quick. Ive been using Harbinger's with the heavy duty reinforced palms and they are the best glove ever. They run $25 but the money you spend now will get made up when you dont have to replace them every year.

When I first started lifting, I'd use all kind of fancy weightlifting gloves. Turns out, none of them really prevented development of callouses. So I stopped buying gloves, and the callouses never got worse. My take on gloves is that they're not necessary. I'll use straps for really heavy back days though.Originally Posted by thrashertm

I use gloves by Harbinger. There great and have no tears/holes. I looked on bodybuilding.com for them and these look they are the ones. http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/gl/130.html

Callouses are a bad thing now?
Why the hell would your lady friend mind you having good tough working hands?
My GF has never said a thing and I pride myself on decent callouses.

I can also assume that you don't deadlift as I don't see how you can even DL with some sweaty ass palms.
