I just chewed through a set of those pretty-ordinary sorta fingerless gloves (brand name Harbinger, ten bucks) in a little over 3 months.
How long do gloves last you guys?
If I used these all the time I'd spend about $40 a year for gloves. That's not a big deal, but if there's a better plan I'm all ears.

Couldn`t really tell you Ray,I tried them for one workout years ago when they first came out, and never used them again.
Gave them to a friend,I just didn`t like how they felt.

Your best bet - Leave out the gloves. Your hands will adjust after a few weeks.

Why people use gloves is beyond me.. perhaps for fashion?  I feel the same way about powerlifting suits, belts, etc. Although I think a belt should be used for squats over 300lbs and deads over 400lbs. Doesn't hurt to have that added security for the lower back. |

I have a skin condition on my hands and feet. They don't sweat like they should. If I didn't wear gloves, my hands would look like sausage in a week. Tim doesn't like me eating bacon, so I know he ain't going to stand for sausage hands, LOL...

I don't like to wear gloves either. Nothing like the feel of "Cold Steel".
