The 7 Best Weightlifting Gloves of 2020

Whether you’re weightlifting, cycling, or bodybuilding, these are the gloves that can do it all. Designed with high-quality lightweight microfiber, they offer the utmost durability, so you can expect them to do the job well for a long time. The gloves feature dual Velcro straps, which are adjustable and provide stability to the wrist. Meanwhile, the silica gel palm allows for great gripping, while the 18" wrist wraps provide great support and safety to allow you to comfortably, effectively, and safely lift heavy weights, or keep that sturdy grip on your bicycle’s handlebars.

These are popular among women for their comfort. The lightweight material, made of 100 percent leather and spandex, is great for beginners who aren’t used to wearing something on their hands, while pros will love that the material is breathable, keeping perspiration to a minimum. The gloves also have great wrist padding, allowing your wrists to be held securely in place, while there is also exceptional cushioning on the palm side allowing you to grip with confidence so you can do your exercises correctly, and get more reps in.

These gloves come in five sizes and seven colors to suit all your needs. Reviewers note that these provide solid wrist support and stability for all of their weightlifting needs.

If you are looking for full palm protection which will prevent you from getting calluses or torn hands, this is the pair for you. Built-in wrist wraps keep your hands steady and comfortable while you lift, and velcro wraps around your wrists give you the perfect fit. Silicone printed neoprene grip ensures you can hold on well to the dumbells. What is really neat about these is the open back design, which allows your hands to breathe so your hands won't get sweaty and the gloves won't be smelly.

Reviewers who lift a lot think these are the perfect solution for tired, worn hands. They note that they protect your hands but aren't bulky, which can interfere with your routine.

Some people prefer full finger weightlifting gloves because the type of exercises they do, like heavy shrugs and deadlifts, can cause your fingertips to hurt from the etching on the bars. Bionic’s full finger gloves have a lot of great features worth mentioning. They help to prevent fatigue while increasing strength with the patented anatomical pad relief system and genuine leather palm, with relief pads placed to even out the surface of your hands, displacing the pressure.

The terry cloth pads inside the gloves serve as perspiration management, while the back of the glove’s Cool-On™ material ensures maximum breathability to keep your hands from feeling overheated. Furthermore, the Lycra® between the fingers and flexion zones allows for plenty of flexibility during your workout.

Sometimes you just need a little extra wrist support, especially if you’re lifting heavy weights, or have naturally weak wrists. These gloves from ACHIEVE FIT have extended wrist wraps that provide topnotch wrist support, more so than any other on the market. They’re also extremely easy to wear and remove—qualities that can make or break a pair of gloves for people. The gloves’ padding also works to eliminate stress on the fingers, giving you one less excuse not to pick up the weights and get your workout on. The stylish pair of weightlifting gloves also promises a firmer grip and greater flexibility, as well as great breathability, so you won’t have to worry about that stink left behind in many gloves.

If your utmost concern is grip, these gloves are for you. Intense weightlifting workouts require a good pair of gloves, and the Grip Power Pads—with pressured pads that deliver a topnotch grip by boosting the friction with the weights in your grasp—are the pair that promise to give you security. A good grip gives you the peace of mind that you won’t injure yourself from the weights slipping out of your hands. These gloves are another great pair that are very easy to pull on and off as well.

Reviewers comment that these are worth the money and can handle various exercises like pull-ups, dumbells, bench press, and more with their sturdy construction and cushioning.

If you have an intense workout regimen, you need intense gloves, and these Harbinger Men’s Power Weightlifting gloves are super heavy duty.

The half-finger gloves’ leather palm feature protects the hands from calluses and general discomfort from friction on the bar, while still maintaining a strong feel on the equipment. Additional features include open cell foam cushions on the palm and fingers as well as fully adjustable wrist closures.
