Protect your hands with the nine best weight-lifting gloves

If you're looking for top-quality and durable gloves, these all-purpose Grebarley weight-lifting gloves may just be for you. With a new design, these gloves are manufactured with microfibre to deliver better tear and crack resistance. They also feature a thickened gasket for non-slip and durability to ensure you get plenty of wear.

They aren’t the most heavy duty of gloves, so if you lift particularly heavy loads, you may need something a little thicker. But, it does mean these are versatile and can be used for a range of different workout types that might be hard on your hands. This includes weightlifting, cycling, rowing and CrossFit, as a few examples where a bit of extra protection can help reduce calluses.

These breathable and lightweight ihuan gloves work to let your hands breathe, because who doesn't want to prevent sweaty hands, right? That's thanks to the fact that the back of the gloves are made from ultralight microfibre. They’re available in black or pink, to suit your preference. 

The gloves are also tightened and loosened with Velcro so you can adjust the gloves to have a snug fit for added comfort when lifting. This extra wrist support can be helpful during weight training, as well as ensuring the gloves stay put. The textured neoprene palm is also designed to improve grip.

These training gloves are among the more unusual styles we’ve seen. But they’re more than just a simple piece of equipment – they're a versatile tool designed to enhance your lifting experience. The minimalist design means that more of your hand is uncovered, improving breathability while you’re training. But they still offer plenty of padding where it’s needed.

The thickness of the pad means your hands are always protected when weight training, meanwhile the non-slip grip is there to mould to your palm to prevent any injuries. Plus, the reinforced seams mean your gloves can be worn wear after wear and give the best protection. These training pads are also machine washable at 30 degrees, making them easy to look after.

The Beace Weight Lifting Gym Gloves are designed for hard work; they're durable and made of breathable and flexible material. These gloves feature a double-layered thumb and double stitched palm to give them extra durability, and better protect your hands.

The adjustable wrist straps offer a customised fit, and the stylish design adds a touch of flair to your gym attire. Meanwhile, the palm of the glove is separated into two sections; one foam and one real leather for extra protection. There’s even a terry cloth section on the back of the thumb to help you wipe away sweat from your face when you’re working particularly hard.

After something a bit more colourful? The RDX glove uses the finest Lycra fabric to keep your hands intact and comfortable throughout your workout. They come in a range of colours, including green, blue, grey, orange, red, and pink – so you’ll be sure to find an option to match the rest of your gym wear.  
These gloves go beyond the basic, providing a perfect balance of functionality and comfort. The strategically placed 3mm rubberised padding and Lycra finger webbing conform to simplify the finger movements and provide breathability. Nylon dotting on the palm provides extra grip, while spandex fabric gives them enough flexibility during tough workouts. Terry fabric on the back of the gloves helps with mopping up sweat, while pull tabs on the fingers make taking them off when you’re finished as easy as possible. If you’ve ever tried to remove weightlifting gloves after a workout, you’ll know how helpful this will be.

It's fair to say the RDX Weightlifting Gloves are a powerhouse accessory for any female fitness enthusiast aiming for excellence in their strength training.

Most weightlifting gloves are fingerless. For the highest protection, instead opt for these full-finger weightlifting gloves that offer perfect grip through a patented design and padding in all the right places.

Created with attention to detail, the use of natural-fit technology and relief pads ensure these gloves mimic the anatomy of your hands and distribute pressure evenly when gripping. Extra padding in the thumb area helps protect from calluses, while the neoprene wrist wrap provides a bit of extra support. The lycra back increases flexibility and breathability, while the thumb uses Terry cloth to let you wipe the sweat off when you need to.

Also, the antimicrobial treatment keeps any unwanted odours at bay, maintaining freshness even after the most intense lifting sessions.

The Bulk Training Gloves are made with precision and are designed for optimal performance. The durable construction and padding provide essential protection to your hands during intense workouts, reducing the risk of calluses and ensuring comfort.

These IsoGrip Hand Grips are designed with precision for activities like CrossFit, gymnastics and weight-lifting. The “IsoGrip” isoprene polymer material ensures a secure hold, allowing athletes to confidently push their limits without compromise, and it also allows for the durability and longevity you're after in a pair of weight-lifting gloves. Element 26 even says that these will provide you with plenty of grip without chalk, unlike some grips. 

These grips feature a custom trim wrist strap, which you can cut down to the perfect size for you. You can even choose between loop and no-loop designs, depending on which you prefer. Although these are more grips than gloves, they still make for a great addition to your workout bag.

Alo Yoga's Power Moves Workout Gloves are multi-purpose athletic gloves made from a blend of polyester and spandex foam. This is not only for extra protection but also for a decent stretch. The palms are padded with foam for added comfort.
