Meister Elite 1lb Neoprene Weighted Gloves for Cardio & Heavy Hands (Pair) - 1lb x 2

For comparison purposes, I have owned the Nayoya weighted fitness gloves. The reason I didn't like and returned the Nayoya weighted gloves is because the weight inside the glove always moved forward when throwing a punch. That's not a normal boxing feel and it's distracting. Also the Nayoya gloves began to tear at the seam. These gloves here, the weight is stationary atop the hand. I believe the Nayoya gloves tore at the seam because the weight would move and put extra pressure on the seam. These meister gloves seem to be of high quality - I have worked out with them once and I love them. I purchased my pair at full price; I'm looking and hoping to catch a pair returned and sold as used so I can get a second pair. ( I know, good luck with that.) I highly recommend these gloves. I use them for Shadowboxing in my home gym/garage. The ole knees can't take the running anymore so I got to get the aerobics ( heart rate up) anyway I can. This works for me. If you buy, you won't be disappointed you will actually realize you made a very (VERY) good decision. Good luck in your search. And if it matters, no one paid me to review this - I just like the gloves.

I LOVE these gloves! I use these with all my kickboxing workouts to add a little more intensity. They are very well made and fit great. I have small hands, but they fit me perfectly. They are not too snug or too loose. Easy to get on and off. The closure around the wrist gives excellent wrist support as well. The open palm area lets your hands breathe and not get too sweaty. I do wish they had a 2-pound version, but as a 1-pound choice, these are excellent!!

I have searched, found and tried different types of weighted gloves. These have been among the best I've been fortunate to use. It's over a year since I had it, so, I believe I'm now in a position to offer my own review/experience with this.SIZE: It appears to be a one size fits all.WEIGHT:Each glove weighs 1lb. Not too heavy that you feel inconvenienced, not too light that you feel you didn't get a proper workout.DESIGN:Made of neoprene. It uses sand for weights on the back of the hand. Has five finger holes. The usual problem I've had is with the thumb hole. It tends to pinch as the wear length increases. Somewhere between 10-15 min I start to feel it there. With these, I had no such discomfort.WORKOUT:I didn't really appreciate the worth of these gloves until I used them during Sean T's Insanity workout warm-up and Leslie Sansone's 3 mile Walk at Home (discovered her on YouTube).Now when you feel the burn in your arms and shoulders is jumping Jacks & Mummy kicks part of the Insanity workout that require you lift your arms against gravity. Same for the indoor walk by Sansone. Sometimes, when I really want that extra burn, I incorporate a 3lb neoprene dumbbell during the indoor walk.FINAL IMPRESSION: A good functional addition to my workout accessories.Hope you found this review helpful.

**update August 2019** as much as I like how they function, they failed after 6 months of twice weekly 1 hour fitness classes. The seams started failing between a few fingers and the metal filings fall out. Granted I do some "knuckle" pushups during class but it's not much.-----I love them. Very secure strap on the wrist. Velcro seems good, time will tell.Glove doesn't move when punching in Piloxing. Wrist support. I need to do knuckle push-ups and planks due to a hands problem and this covers the knuckles on the wood floor. Also they have pull tabs to assist taking off. I do a combination of pulling on the weighted part and pull tabs. The iron sand is compact and heavy for it's mass. I have men's medium size hands and these fit perfectly.

I have the Nayoka 1 pound gloves and an old pair of Everlast gloves with the metal bar inside for comparison , but if you are holding a controller in your hand the Meister Elite 1 pound gloves are basically flat on the bottom making gripping HTC Vive had controllers not that difficult. Nothing is like gripping a controller with you bare hand and for the Steam VR controller they might not be desirable as your fingers are restricted to some extent. For just having a weighted glove they seem to be of good quality. As I spend many hours a week virtual boxing and boxing gloves have weight so for what I do for a realistic experience I like these gloves. As a note they will absorb sweat. To clean them I use a little dish soap in the sink and let them dry.

I do the Shaun T workouts and have been looking for weights or gloves that aren't so bulky or annoying to use. The hand held weights are obnoxious to have to pick up or put down between the aerobics and body training and the other several gloves or wrist weights I have tried are too bulky and annoying. Finally I found these. They are not bulky and they are comfortable. Very happy that I found these.

It's hard to find decent weighted gloves that stay put for rigorous kickboxing classes. These do. The only downfall is that I am used to 2 lbs. on each hand and they are not offered.

These appear to well made, good quality items. But I will never know for certain, because they are much too small for my hands. I admit that my hands are larger than average, so I had my wife try them on in case we could use them for her - nope! They are much too big for her to wear. So I must return them and keep looking, which is a shame - I would have happily kept these and used them daily if it were possible to get them onto my hands.

Good to add an extra challenge/intensity when shadow boxing in VR. I use them with FitXR and Song Bester: Quite my tempo. I would normally finish too two on a leader board in FitXR, but with the added challenge of boxing with these; it’s nearer to fourth or fifth. So getting the same number of points, or matching my own class records (without additional equipment), whilst wearing these is a good challenge.I don’t recommend them for games like BeatSaber due to the unpredictable hand/arm movements. There is a risk of injury due to the nature of the game.

Ich wollte mich beschweren! Und zwar zum Zwecke eines effizienteren Trainings :-D. Da bei mir dabei gerne die Pulsuhr mitläuft, fiel die naheliegendste Option, nämlich Gewichtsmanschetten fürs Handgelenk aus. Da bleibt dann nicht mehr viel, wenn man nicht mit Hanteln rumlaufen und -turnen möchte. Zum Produkt:1. Es sind nicht 1 kg. Es sind zwei engl. Pfund, also gemessene 460g pro Handschuh (mit +- 3 Gramm Unterschied, also recht ausgewogen, spricht für mich für die Qualität)2. Die Verarbeitung ist, soweit ich das beurteilen kann gut, aus der Packung heraus haben die Teile halt einen für Neoprendinge nicht untypischen Gummigeruch, der nach zwei bis drei Trainingseinheiten etwas verfliegt (und nach meiner Erwartung nie ganz weggeht).3. Waschen: laut Etikett (siehe Bild) soll man es lassen, allerdings sollte eine milde Handwäsche mit Neutralseife drin sein, wenn sie das "morcheln" anfangen.4. Passform: one size fits all? Ist immer eine schwierige Aussage, ich habe recht große Hände (Handschuhgröße 10,5), aber keine dicken Finger; mir passen die Dinger, sitzen aber schon streng. Hätte ich kräftigere Finger würde ich es nicht mehr mögen. Ergo, die "Normhand" kann bedenkenlos zugreifen, die "Prankeninhaber" dürfen es probieren und die "Wurstfingrigen" sollten es besser lassen. Gerade die Fingeröffnungen sind eher eng.Habe bis jetzt eine Joggingeinheit und mehrere Körpergewichtstrainings damit gemacht. Angenehm finde ich, dass sie bei mir nicht rumschlackern, die Pulsuhr nicht behindern und auch dass die Handgelenks"manschette" die Handgelenke bei manchen Übungen entlastet. Dinge greifen und bedienen ist mit den Teilen kein Problem für mich.Fazit: Ich kann sie denen, die sich moderate Gewichte an die Arme packen möchten, ohne großartige sterische Einschränkungen in Kauf zu nehmen, durchaus empfehlen.

quality wides, everything good. personally, it doesn't work to well for me. only use it for a few time. and right it just sits there, I dont know when I gonna use it again.
