Why do you want gloves?

I believe you get a much better safer grip with skin

Yeah i had thought about some wraps and hooks but i think at the moment i just need some gloves for some other routines

Not use to lifting close to 100 kilo bars for one, my skin is blistering and pinching under it
also abrasive against some cable machine handles too, rubbing it raw

I always found the ones with velcro fitting worked best. I had pink Nike ones with a stretchy wrist fitting that eventually lost its stretchyness and I was forever adjusting them.
The excessive amount of padding on the glove palm used to affect grip on bars and rings.

just lift without gloves and let the skin toughen up, i find lifting without gloves over time have toughened the skin and you get a much better grip and feel when lifting without gloves.

Crossfitters wee on their hands to toughen the skin.

Ned, you make a good point about "feel".

I think skin against the bar actually sends a message to the brain that makes you better prepared.

You could soak you hands in Condys Crystals, this will toughen you skin up, however, it will most likely stain your hands a brownie colour.....

Just holding the bar toughens your hands up.

My missus freaks out when I cut my callouses of with the steak knives.

I quite enjoy hacking a good callus out. Or go the more conservative approach and just file it down...

I wish muscle grew as fast as callouses grow.

Got sick of cutting mine down, so statred wearing gloves, much better.
Should have started using them years ago, mates give me shit, but palms look a lot better and now they started to use them.

Just buy harbinger gloves, I destroy them quickly but they are cheap enough ($40).

Used thin sponges many moons ago, must have been a 90s thing, but I kept loosing them.
