A couple months ago I posted on my livejournal blog complaining about needing gloves that provided better grip than the Harbingers I had. A friend of mine suggested I check out www.newgrip.com.

I poked around the site a little, read through all the quotes, and looked at the pictures. All good things, of course, but these are on the site that’s trying to sell the product. Off to google I went to see what other folks were saying about them. I came across an article over at LASplash.com entitled NewGrips: A Workout Glove that Fits. I couldn’t agree more.

At first I was a bit leery of ordering gloves online due to sizing. I wear 3x shirts but my gloves were only large (the leather ones stretch a bit after you use them a while). I figured I could always return them for a different size. I was pleasantly surprised that I was asked for my height and the size of my wrist in inches to determine the right size to order. I got my gloves a couple days later, attached the wrist straps to the pads and headed to the gym.

What a difference! It says it’ll take a few workouts to get them broken in but I could notice a considerable difference right away. I’d definitely recommend these if you’re in the market for some gloves. I’ll never go back.
