Barehand – Minimalist^® gloves

Best gloves ever, once they’re broken in!!! I’m on my second pair, only had to buy another because I misplaced one. Had it reorder immediately. Can’t go without them. I lift, and mountain bike. Perfect for both!

I bought these gloves to replace another pair of minimalist gloves (different brand). The fit is better on these gloves and my old pair. I don't have to keep adjusting them as I am working out and a barely notice I have them on. However, these did take some time to break in. It took a few weeks before I could lift heavier weights comfortably, so I had to switch between these and my old pair depending on my workout. When I was able to start lifting heavier with these, I did notice a difference in my calluses. With my old pair of gloves, my skin would still chafe. It wasn't as bad as lifting barehanded, but it did create some calluses. My skin does not chafe nearly as much in these gloves, so it has improved my calluses quite a bit. I have not yet noticed an improvement in my lifts or reps. I think it's still too early to tell at this point but I am optimistic. I do believe that it has improved my grip and I can definitely feel the bar more, which was a bit of an adjustment for me as I am used to having more padding in my palm. I have small hands and I haven't noticed the bar slipping as much. Overall, I am happy with these gloves and would purchase them again.

I purchased these gloves for my boyfriend and he absolutely loves them. He would complain about his grip affecting the way he lifted weights and would also develop calluses. Since using these gloves, his calluses have started to go away. Additionally, he has seen an improvement in his lifts and his grip has increased.
