What To Look For

Harbinger weight training and workout gloves are a leader in hand and wrist protection in the weight training industry. Harbinger produces both men's and women's gloves. Available in a variety of sizes, grips and support options, Harbinger Gloves reduce hand sweating when lifting weights, protect from calluses, and cut down on the transfer of bacteria from the gym weight room or equipment. Harbinger Gloves enhance any training workout through advanced hand protection and extra cushioning, allowing you to lift for longer periods.

Common Pitfalls

When choosing Harbinger Gloves, the right fit is most important. The gloves come in half-finger and three-quarter-finger styles. Half-finger covers the first knuckle, and three-quarter-finger extends to the second knuckle. The right finger style allows your fingers to flex naturally and comfortably while offering a good grip. The pad in the palm of the hand is for extra cushioning; it should fit in the exact center of the hand for ultimate protection. Additionally, the gloves should give appropriate wrist support to allow for proper form when lifting.

Where To Buy

Harbinger Gloves are at sports specialty stores like Dick's, Dunham's and The Sports Authority. Sears has them, too. Since finding the right gloves means getting the best fit, it is important to try them on before you buy. Sports specialty stores have trained associates to help, so making your Harbinger Gloves purchase there is the best idea. You can also buy Harbinger Gloves from online retailers, but return them if the fit is not just right.

Cost

There are affordable Harbinger Gloves for just about any weight training budget. Dick's and Dunham's have Harbingers ranging from $9 to $36, with an average price of $20. The price really depends on the type of glove and the level of performance you're seeking, but even the least expensive Harbinger provides protection and an enhanced workout.

Accessories

Along with gloves, Harbinger produces a full line of weight training accessories. Jump ropes, weight training belts, exercise mats, lifting straps and lifting hooks makes Harbinger a one-stop dealer for all your weight training needs. Harbinger accessories are at sports retailers, Sears or online.
