I read all the reviews but really didn't see this answer. I have trouble between the thumb and index finger. I need read padding for this area when lift weights. The Harbinger 1250 has this but they are for men. Are these gloves padded enough or should...

I would say the padding between the thumb and index finger is about average. If you are lifting quite a heavy weight and need thick padding I might opt for the men's glove you referred to.

I am afraid the gloves fingers space designed may not be good enough if you have long fingers. However, I read other answers and some people said it would be okay. The pair I bought was little for me. I have short fingers and it did not fit well. My gloves size is 6. I hope this helps you in making your shopping decision.

Greetings; I returned a pair of Med. size because they were way too small for my husband. I got a large which were still too small for him so I use them and to answer your question, they have "given" a little, but are still on the "small/snug" side for me. I don't think there really is enough flexibility in these to allow for a proper fit in time. The manufacturer of these and so many other work gloves I "test" need to do a better job of sizing for the US customer base. Hope this helps, all best.

Giro lists them as mens' gloves on their homepage. Anyway, Giro has very accurate sizing guides with inch/centimeter specifications for both genders. So, you should be able to figure out whether any of the mens' sizes will fit your hands (I hope the links are not deleted by Amazon...): http://www.giro.com/giro/fitguide/gloves/men_glove_fitguide.pdfhttp://www.giro.com/giro/fitguide/gloves/women_glove_fitguide.pdfTheir guides were very accurate in my experience.Btw: I really like these gloves.

Plenty of padding in my opinion. It may change due to hand size however, there should be enough padding in every glove size. Hoqever, I ordered a medium and they sent me a large, I never bothered sending mine back in but just a heads up to check the size once they come in if you order them. I hate callouses as well so I got these gloves and I haven't had any sense so you should be all good! Good luck!

I've used Harbinger gloves forever and they have ALL split. Mostly the thumbs go - but this last pair (this style) are coming apart at the wrist areas which is VERY annoying when you're trying to lift. I DO wash my gloves in the washer & then let them air dry. I need to order another pair, as the gloves I used yesterday (also Harbinger) have absolutely NO thumb support compared to these, but for the $, I think these are the way to go. I wash them about once every 2 month's and they've lasted about a year.

Padding is on the knuckle side. Yes, I sometimes use them as weight lifting gloves.

Being a male with rather big hands, I purchased a large and it was loose, so I had to get a pair of thin cotton gloves, cut off the fingers, and use them as sleeves to make the fingers fit tight. And you do want a tight fit! So, if you're hands are small then I would go with the small. In any event, this is a great product and has worked well for me once I got them to fit right. Hope that helps :-)

The gloves feel heavy but not because of padding. I would only use them for weight lifting.

I have smallish hands, i fit snugly into a medium, but can fit amazingly in a small. I understand where you are coming from =] The gloves should fit just fine because they're supposed to be oversize to ensure that they protect you. I would definitely pick up the medium.

hi danika,these will give you some more support, but i found that after using them for a bit the gel padding area broke open, and that although they covered the knuckle where your finger joins your hand, they do not protect the next knuckle out, which still got pretty beat up. i switched to everlast wrist support heavy bag gloves, which work much better for support and protection, but are still flexible enough after a bit of breaking in to be comfortable. i also got a pair of cheap dollar store stretchy winter gloves, cut off each finger about half way, and wear them under the boxing gloves. it absorbs the perspiration and keeps the boxing glove cleaner. hope this helps!kathi hi danika,these will give you some more support, but i found that after using them for a bit the gel padding area broke open, and that although they covered the knuckle where your finger joins your hand, they do not protect the next knuckle out, which still got pretty beat up. i switched to everlast wrist support heavy bag gloves, which work much better for support and protection, but are still flexible enough after a bit of breaking in to be comfortable. i also got a pair of cheap dollar store stretchy winter gloves, cut off each finger about half way, and wear them under the boxing... » Read More hi danika,these will give you some more support, but i found that after using them for a bit the gel padding area broke open, and that although they covered the knuckle where your finger joins your hand, they do not protect the next knuckle out, which still got pretty beat up. i switched to everlast wrist support heavy bag gloves, which work much better for support and protection, but are still flexible enough after a bit of breaking in to be comfortable. i also got a pair of cheap dollar store stretchy winter gloves, cut off each finger about half way, and wear them under the boxing gloves. it absorbs the perspiration and keeps the boxing glove cleaner. hope this helps!kathi « Show Less

Absolutely!! I'm a woman and I purchased a small and they are by far the best gloves I've purchased to date for weight lifting training and Bootcamp.

I would say they are too bulky. My sister has different gloves, I think they are title weighted gloves. Hers are less bulky and may work but I don't think any of these weighted gloves are meant to wear inside real boxing gloves.

I'm not familiar with the new ones sorry! But if you do Crossfit, I don't recomend any of these gloves, instead look up for Rogue Gymnastic gloves, those have worked great for me doing pull ups, T2B and weightlifting! Hope this will help you!

I have fairly large hands and used the large sized gloves. I would say they will fit gloves are kind of a one size fits all especially at this level of training. If you have any trouble you can make up some of the difference with the way you wrap your hands. It really depends on what you are using the gloves. If you are using them just for bag work or mit work they will most likely do fine. I would recommend buying them directly from amazon and if you have any issue later you can send them back. Amazon's return service is great and it really gives me confidence buying from a retailer when I can't necessarily try them on. you could also go to a local sportswear spot and try them on and then buy them here.

Padding is a bit less with these gloves, but that's probably the case because they are full fingered. However, I think they protect your whole hand very well.
