The 10 Best Weightlifting Gloves

These Skott Evo 2 (about $24) are designed with a gel-infused padding that redistributes itself based on where the tension is concentrated along your hands. They are also equipped with wraparound cuffs and a perforated lining that maximizes breathability throughout.

The RimSports Premium (about $19) promote circulation by way of air pockets, and also feature a smooth lining that will make a bench press bar feel less rough in your grasp. They're double-stitched for durability, and fit snugly, thanks to a spandex back.

They may feel a tad stiff when you first slip them on but, after a couple of trips to the gym, the Ihuan Professional (around $17) should begin to feel like an extension of your hands. They provide reliable wrist support, with enough padding to prevent soreness without seeming bulky.

The Contraband Pink Label (appx. $14) are both high-quality and affordable, with breathable mesh tops that prevent your hands from getting unbearably hot during tough workouts. The silicone beading on the palms helps you maintain a tenacious grip.

Made of real leather with a flexible material between the fingers for additional comfort, the Steel Sweat Zed Black (about $14) protect your hands from injuries and help prevent the formation of calluses. Special tabs on the fingers make them simple to remove quickly.

They may not be conventional, but the Grip Power Pads Cobra (appx. $47) have built-in wrist supports, so they can replace your wraps while protecting your palms and enhancing your grip strength. Since they bend both ways, they're suitable for both pushing and pulling exercises.

With the Xhaus Gym (around $14), you certainly won’t be limiting yourself to a single workout style, since they’re effective for cross training, heavy weightlifting, and basic calisthenics. They’re a useful choice if you want to prevent calluses and blisters.

Sporting a honeycomb pattern on their padded palms, the Trideer Workout (appx. $12) are designed to absorb shocks and increase friction to give you the best grip possible. The microfiber material is soft and comfortable, while the mesh helps keep your hands dry.

Constructed from lightweight microfiber and mesh, the Fenglei Fitness (appx. $13) feature a layer of foam in the palms for comfort and protection from injuries. Thanks to their flexible design, they won't interfere with your workout by inhibiting your range of motion.

If you value flexibility, consider the ChicModa Sport (appx. $14), which are designed with an elastic fabric that will stretch and adapt for comfort as you lift. The adjustable wrist straps make them suitable for a variety of hand sizes.
