About the Full Leather Gym Gloves

Full leather gym gloves are the choice for people who train heavy and train often. Leather grips a knurled bar better than any synthetic, and it does not go slick when your hands sweat — the point at which cheaper gloves become a liability rather than a help.

Full leather construction across the palm and back with an elasticated wrist. Sizes S to XL.

Why leather grips better

Leather has natural surface texture that increases friction against knurling, and it maintains that grip when damp. Synthetic palms tend to get slicker as they get wetter, which is precisely backwards from what you want on a heavy set.

Leather also moulds to your hand over the first few weeks and then holds that shape. Synthetic gloves stretch out and stay stretched, which is why they feel loose and start bunching after a few months of heavy use.

Sizing

Measure hand circumference around the widest part of the palm, excluding the thumb:

Small — approx. 17–19cm
Medium — approx. 19–21cm
Large — approx. 21–23cm
Extra Large — approx. 23cm and above

Leather stretches slightly with use, so a glove that feels firm in the first week will be right by the third. Do not size up expecting them to feel comfortable immediately.

Care

Never machine wash leather gloves. The drum action and detergent strip the natural oils and the leather goes stiff and cracks.

Wipe them with a barely damp cloth after training and air dry away from direct sun and heat. If they stiffen over time, a small amount of leather conditioner restores flexibility. For pressing movements, pair them with wrist supports; for heavy pulling, add lifting straps.

Common questions

Are leather gym gloves better than synthetic?

For heavy or frequent training, yes. Leather grips knurling better and maintains that grip when damp, whereas synthetic palms get slicker as they get wetter. Leather also moulds to your hand and holds shape, while synthetic stretches out permanently.

What size leather gym gloves should I order?

Measure hand circumference at the widest part of the palm excluding the thumb: roughly 17-19cm Small, 19-21cm Medium, 21-23cm Large, 23cm and above Extra Large. Leather stretches slightly with use, so do not size up for immediate comfort.

Can you wash leather gym gloves?

Never machine wash them. The drum action and detergent strip the leather's natural oils and cause cracking. Wipe with a barely damp cloth and air dry away from heat and direct sun.

How long do leather gym gloves last?

With regular training and proper care, considerably longer than synthetic - often several years. They fail at the seams rather than the palm, so inspect the stitching periodically.
