 Poor Construction Jul 03, 2010
Got these gloves as a gift and I guess you might as well expect the poor quality for the low price. The right hand glove is perfect. Everything is sewn that way it should be. The left hand glove is poorly sewn. Once I put it on, it looks like a knitted blanket with hardly any of the holes visible and doesn't fit my hand the way the other gloves does. If you're looking for lifting gloves, pay about 10 more dollars for a really good pair.
 Excellent Quality, Excellent Price Apr 02, 2010
This was exactly the type of lifting glove that I was looking for because it matched the style of glove that I had previously. If this is the style of lifting glove that you are looking for you will find that these are an exceptional deal. After one week of use they prove to be very durable and offer cushioning in just the right places so you can focus on the amount of weight you are lifting rather than the toll that weight takes on your palms. I was also impressed with the speed of delivery. I am a soldier currently serving in Iraq so it was important for me to be able to have it delivered to an APO address.
 Shoddy construction Mar 30, 2010
The gloves were not put together very well. The seams were crooked, and there were a lot of loose threads in the seams. In my opinion they would not have lasted very long, but I will never know because I returned them.

 Good Economical Glove......Mesh Doesn't Hold Up Mar 14, 2010
I owned a pair of these very same Valeo gloves for about 2 years. At the time they were the cheapest brand of weight gloves I could find at a local sporting goods store. In my opinion, all weightlifting gloves are just about the same by design. They all have open fingers for gripping, a padded palm to resist friction and aid in protecting your hands, and a form of stretch backing for flexibility. The sometimes wide price range between the selections has much more to do with the quality of the gloves manufacturing than it does some new space age design. Weightlifting gloves take on as rugged a workout as you do. They constantly stretch under tremendous weight and pressure, and of course get soaked with sweat with every workout as well. Even though these gloves were used with every one of my workouts for a couple of years, the padding and Velcro wrist loop stayed relatively intact and useful. However I cannot say the same, nor are a fan of any mesh design in these or any glove. The mesh seems like a good idea at first since they appear to let your hands "breath" as you work out. But my own experience as to any breathing my hands were doing as compared to the meshes holding up over time is that the mesh started to come apart before even the first year was up. It appears to be strong and well woven, but I noticed it starting to fray after just a couple of months, and before a year was out open holes spread across the back of my hand. They still basically did the job for another year or so, but eventually looked and felt too ratty to stick with any longer.
It very well could be that my workouts were a little more rugged than others, but I doubt it. I am not an avid screaming weightlifter, but just doing some weight training to stay healthy. I feel these gloves, though very cheap in price just don't hold up and thus not worth it. For a pair of gloves that are just a couple of dollars more that do indeed seem to hold out for years, may I suggest The Harbingers 155 that I have enclosed a link to at the end of this review. I bought a pair of these after my Valeos wore out and they are still strong and completely intact after more than two years use. They employ a much more popular and durable stretch design for backing. They are very reasonably priced here on Amazon, and are very comfortable to wear and use. Excellent gloves all around that I highly recommend. One last thing, if you do decide to go with these Valeos after all, take heed of some of the other reviewers advice here that they do indeed tend to run small. Most men would take a large to an x-large in my opinion. Better to be a little too big than too small. The Harbingers on the other hand are more reasonably sized, and much easier to fit. Just another reason to spend a little extra and get some good quality gloves... Harbinger 155 Power StretchBack Glove (Black)
So good I use them as winter gloves ha Feb 04, 2010
ok maybe not but they work great. I use them to keep my hands from sliding when i do pushups. Their pretty durable, unless you lan to climb a mountain with them i dont see why they would rip.
