 Valeo Ocelot Wrist Strap Lifting Gloves Aug 02, 2010
These gloves are too think around the palms to get a good grip. I use them for kettlebell workouts and you need to swing the weights. But you also need to be able to have control over the kettlebell. So sure, the leather gloves have lots of padding so you won't tear up your hands, but you might also drop the kettlebell. So these gloves aren't very good for that purpose. I think the GOFIT gloves of similar style are much better, thinner, but thick enough to prevent the hands from getting blistered. Also, the wrist strap provide protection for the forearm and wrist so they are protected from getting banged up by the kettlebell if it flips over too hard. These Ocelot loves might be better for more static types of weight lifting where you are just slowly picking up a barbell or dumbell. But for swinging kettlebells, they're not good at all. Hence, they get three stars. They do protect your hands.
 wrist wrap lifting gloves Jul 13, 2010
I am a very active 53 year old female and part of my fitness regime is lifting weights 3 times a week. I have a couple of issues with my wrists and thumbs and wanted some kind of security around them when I lift. Not that I lift massive amounts of weight but I like to go heavier over periods of time and was finding it quite painful and difficult. These help my hands feel more sturdy. I found these Valeo Ocelot gloves on Amazon and was happy to see that they come with an option of up to the wrist as well as wrapping around the wrist; the latter of which I chose. They fit as expected. I figure my hands are medium size, so that's what I ordered. The only complaint is that the wrist part of it is extremely tight ( feels like it cuts off my hand circulation a bit ) I'm not sure if it's my already painful wrists or if the wrap part is just not as roomy as it could be. Although, because I like the rest of the fit; the soft leather, the padding on the palm and the length of the finger covers, I am going to see if I can add some Velcro to the wrap to lengthen them a bit. Nice quality and the price is reasonable considering. I highly recommend them if you lift.

 Great gloves, run small May 02, 2010
I was surprised to find that I should have ordered large. Medium were a little tight, and that's my normal size. That's the risk you always take with online shopping, though, so no complaints. Excellent quality. Perfect amount of padding, exactly what I was looking for.

Pretty good Apr 19, 2010
Works like a charm, supports the wrist. No complaints here, although the fingers slots do rise a little higher than normal, but does not affect the lift.
BEST GLOVES EVER!!! Mar 21, 2010
These are the 2nd pair of the same gloves that I have owned, as I wore the other gloves down to shreds (literally). These are the best for grip & wrist support, are bright in color and hard to lose, and cushion heavier weights against the palms. I swear by these gloves and use them each and every single day that I'm in the gym.
YOU CANNOT LOSE WITH THESE BABIES! GREAT GLOVES!!
5-STARS!!!!!
