Proprietary skin-on-skin [sos] leather that has been used in the gloves will make you feel there is no extra padding in the gloves; it also enhances the grip, protection, feel, and comfort with added durability and strength. Antimicrobial treated mesh and anti-mold washable leather are part of the gloves; these ensure that the gloves fight germs and are odorless even after repeated use. Half finger length in the gloves assists in the easy snatching of weights and in providing ventilation to lifters' hands. Double stitching in our gloves enhances its durability. Specially treated skinny feather weight glove leather often locks the bar moving up towards your fingers, due to the diminished bulk from the glove. X trim gloves easily slip on and off your hands. X trim gloves are washable. If you prefer to wash your gloves, wash them by hand and with mild soap. Then, rinse the gloves in cool water. Do not bleach the gloves. And, finally, air-dry the gloves in a cool place. Do not dry the gloves under direct sunlight. Also, ensure you do not iron or dry clean the gloves.
