I bought these to use while spinning as my hands were suffering. They are great, not as hot as gloves would be and they offer protection for the palms.

Bought these as I was sick of using gloves that were not fit for purpose.These do the trick to provide
comfort when pressing and pulling. I would not use these for every exercise as sometimes they are simply not needed.
What I do like over gloves is they do not bunch up, crease into your hand or have stitching to dig in. Perfect for
bench pressing, curls & rowing. Hands are also free to sweat without causing odour.

I love the grips I bought for weight lifting. They protect the hands from calouses, but are not bulky like gloves. I would recommend them instead of gloves.

Having seen a fitness club member using, what appeared to be "brass knuckles" while weight training with dumb bells, I asked him what was on his hands.
He showed me a well used pair of protective palm pads that he claimed he had used for years with great success. They provided cushioning for his palm's underlying grasping muscles while retaining a firm grasp for the hand held bars and weights he wanted to use.
I've used them for about a month and can unequivocally state they have lessened the discomfort of weight training using my hands significantly, especially having developed osteoarthritis in the thumb/wrist joints in both hands.

Finished a third workout w/ these workout pads. Initially was going to buy gloves, but I didn't find workout gloves very comfortable the last time. I don't lift heavy weights, just a pair of 20 lb dumbells for leg lunges/shoulder presses/back rows/etc. Outside of that & pullups, I don't use them. They are very comfortable & come on & off easily/quickly. You use your ring, middle, & index fingers in the loops. Time will tell (after usage + machine wash), but the thickness of the pads is very good. Very satisfied w/ this purchase.

I started a new workout program at a local private gym where we do a lot of body weight, rings, pull ups, bar bell exercises. Well I started getting really bad calluses to the point where people would comment on them and it would also interfere with my workouts. I saw these advertised in a magazine so ordered it here on Amazon and am so happy I did. They work amazingly, sometimes I don't remember that I am even wearing them. No more calluses and better workouts. Several people asked me about them and ordered them too. I actually bought 2 more pairs for friends of mine.
