I wanted to let you know I've been using the NewGrips for 2 months now and couldn't be happier with them.
As I'm 6' 9" tall I was concerned the NewGrips would not fit my long hands, but the large pads really are large enough!
They are completely comfortable to wear and use, fit my hands perfectly, do not pinch or bunch up, do not smell, and show zero signs of wear. They took some getting used to in the beginning because, of course, they're different than traditional gloves.
The only time I had to think about the Grips while lifting was when using angled curl bars. The web area of my hands felt slightly exposed, even though they weren't, but adjusting the pads upward a bit (thanks to the velcro on the wrist straps) enabled me to get a little more of a padded feel in the webs.
The main reason I started wearing gloves while lifting in the first place was to protect my hands and to prevent calluses. Not only did traditional gloves not help in that regard, they actually made some calluses worse due to pinching (which also made some exercises very painful).
Therefore I am extremely happy to report that after 2 months of using your NewGrips the calluses on my hands are 100% gone! I have been approached by others at my gym who had seen your gloves online and asked how I liked mine. I give them an unconditional recommendation!
Thanks for producing such a quality product and for saving my hands. As for the latter, my girlfriend appreciates that, too!
