Schiek Sports Model 425 Power Series Weight Lifting Gloves

product could be made better by increasing the size of the Velcro hook and loop and the use of better materials on the wrist wrap strap. The Velcro loop at the end of the strap is too small, increasing the length of the Velcro will make the product more sturdy and it will not loosen as you lift. bought 2 sets of these first set in 2005 and second set in 2011. aside from the Velcro improvements, the 2005 glove has very minor damage from use on the leather side its the wrist wrap strap that has issues. the 2011 glove has no damage from use on the leather side just the wrist wrap strap that has issues. Both gloves has a tear where the wrist wrap strap attaches to the leather both sets have this issues on the left hand side only.I have made the changes I mentioned above to the gloves that I bought see in the pictures how the Velcro is now longer.

I have a belt.gloves and straps from Schiek.They are still functional and indestructible.I have had them since 1994.I work out at least 4days a week and now 6days a week,twice a day for the last 50years. There is no better product,made by any other company that I have ever seen.I did look just to see. Was wondering how these gloves would be.T They simply are just as amazing as every other product this company makes. I will use both these new gloves and my old ones.There will not be any others since I am now seventy years old and these products will outlive me.BTW! I train heavy!!! Regularly.

The Large size actually is a Large .... not a medium or extra-large ... thank you for that.The tabs to pull off the gloves easily after a sweaty workout ... thank you for that.Well made and comfortable ... thanks.Padding is moderate. Enough to protect without getting in the way.Hint: I have wrist issues and I found that wrapping the first bit of wrist strap straight, level, and not too tight ...then gradually angling toward my knuckles while adding tightness, gives me the best wrist support.I would have preferred all-black (but at least it's not fluorescent!)This is the third brand I've used and the best so far. I would love to see a manufacturer make an "articulated" padded palm for comfort combined with easy movement ... hey Schiek ... free million dollar idea! (Probably have to charge a thousand per pair!).

those gloves are the real deal nice padding and great gripp on the arm make sure you get it a size bigger because they run smaller than normal size.I don't know why they say one color in the option because mine came the same as the picture for XL

I am really liking these new gloves by Schiek. They feel very comfortable when I am wearing them and they don't make my hands get all sweaty. I like the fins on the fingers for getting the glove off after a workout. They make pulling the glove off very simple. The wrist strap is functional and comfortable. The strap is easily adjusted if you need it to be tighter, simply wind the strap around your wrist there is velcro that it attaches to and holds well. My hands feel well protected without there being too much fabric bunching up and in the way. The glove fingers cover exactly one half of my fingers right up to the middle knuckle on each one. I recommend going to the Schiek website for sizing the gloves. I would have sworn I had average medium sized hands. But when I measured according to the Schiek website I found that I should order a small. So I ordered the small and it fits like a glove (pun intended). You know what else? These gloves look so damned good on me when I am wearing them with the black and tan.Update 12/12/12 - Two years in and still using these gloves. They have been great. I work out at the gym with free weights an average of three times per week. There are no tears in them yet, no holes anywhere. The velcro on the wrist straps are still holding tightly. My hands and fingers are completely and comfortably protected. I wash them in the sink in warm water and a little soap about every three weeks or so. Rinse them in clear water, then hang them by the wrist straps to dry on the shower rack. They dry in about 24 hours or so. I was just wearing them today as a matter of fact. Love those fins. Love the black and tan.Update 11/28/15 - Hard to believe it has been nearly 5 years since I wrote this review. I am still wearing the same pair of gloves at the gym. I still go 3 times a week and wear them a hour each session. They are fully intact except for just a small little tear around one of the wrist straps. That's it, everything else about them is still perfect and functional after 5 years. That includes hand washing them regularly too.

Sizing all wrong. Way to big and when I wanted to just return them they had tripled in price. Bought another brand instead

Great gloves
