The gloves lint in the first uses, but the declines. A stark smell I could not perceive, contrary to the perception of other reviewers. The gloves do not smell of leather or similar quality, but not cheap as items from kik.
The pads are attached to the right places. For my taste, it could be just below the finger approaches a little more generous. But this is an individual perception.
Positive strikes me that the form of gloves is designed to handle around poles: between thumb and forefinger, the material is stiffened so that the hand is automatically brought into a good attitude for covering of barbells.
Why only 3 stars: another reviewer had already indicated this lack and I can confirm that the approaches of the Velcro fasteners at the scrub glove inside. Through a sewing up the Velcro approaches this could have been prevented. Even better would be if the Velcro would have been so sewn to the glove that in the first place there is no contact with the skin. A leaving open the locks rectify this shortcoming, but it is not the intention. Functionally would not affect the gloves by this "workaround" because of the closure is not in any case designed to support the wrist.
3/5 stars corresponds to "not bad" and so are not the gloves. I like you well, but by the lack of scrubbing, there must be deductions.
