How do I know what features are the most important?
Generally, there are four key things to look for in a training glove:
| 1. Does it fit your hand? Sounds simple but very important to note these things when trying on a glove: |
| |
 1. Does it fit snugly without binding?
2. Can your fingers flex naturally and comfortably?
3. Harbinger training gloves come in both half finger and the three quarter finger. Half finger covers to your first knuckle and the three quarter finger extends to your third knuckle. The three quarter finger helps protect against the knurling on weight bars. |
| 2. Is there enough cushioning on the palm when you grasp a bar or a handle? |
| |
1. Palms should be flexible but feel cushiony.
2. When you grip a handle or a bar, the glove palm and fingers should curl naturally around that surface.
3. You shouldn’t feel the "teeth" of the bar or handle cut into your fingers or palm when the bar is firmly grasped. |
| 3. Is there enough palm traction to ensure a "sure grip" when lifting or training? |
| |
1. Does the palm material look like it will provide you with added traction?
2. Does the palm material have extra stitching and padding in those areas that will have direct contact with the bar or a handle?
3. When gripping a bar or a handle, does your grip slip as you go through your training motion? |
| 4. Does the glove support my hand and my wrist during training? |
| |
1. Does the glove feel natural but supportive?
2. If you need additional wrist support are you wearing a WristWrap“ glove?
3. Does your glove allow you maintain the proper hand, arm and body position when training? | |
