Anyone who has done strength training regularly will know that gym gloves can make the difference between an enjoyable workout and a torture fest!
However, there's more to it than that - a good pair of gym gloves will not only protect your skin, they'll also provide better grip.
Gym gloves are therefore a good addition to your home workout equipment, and with many available for less than ?10, they won't break the bank.
Gym gloves come in a choice of different materials, from traditional leather and cotton through to neoprene. Whichever material you buy it's worth ensuring that they are washable - let's face it, they are guaranteed to get sweaty, and if you can't at least hand wash them, they are going to get pretty nasty, pretty quickly!
Other features to look out for include:
- Gel pads in the palm: This is a great way to improve the comfort, especially if you are going to be doing some heavy lifting
- Adjustable velcro straps: These are a great way to ensure a snug fit that won't move around when in use
- Elasticised wrist: Another good feature that will help to provide a snug, custom fit
