So until they break in a bit, the palms tend to bulge OUT when closing your fist. The padding is so thick that you would compromise the strength of your grip just overcoming the padding. They are just too thick for any kind of tactile feel. First of all, the gloves I received were different from the picture here. They are great for LARGE handled tools (jackhammers, hammer drills, etc)., but forget it for anything else.
The palm is entirely smooth, no stitching. These run SMALL due to the thick foam/gel/whatever construction. Order a size LARGER that normal. Like another reviewer stated, these are NOT for small hands.
you have a 9"+ hand perimeter. In example, if you have a hand diameter of 9" (L size) buy the XL size, stick to L size if your hand is 8". The padding is extremely comfortable and it outperforms my previous Valeo ISO air-cell gloves in terms of comfort and ergonomics. First of all these gloves are great but ONLY if you have big hands, i.e. Ok.
A final note I strongly recommend that you buy this gloves 1 size plus. Here we go. I DON'T RECOMMEND THEM FOR PETITE HANDS AND GIRLS PLEASE DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS PAIR. The thick padding will reduce your grip on thight fits, reducing your comfort as well. As another reviewer wrote there are bad news / good news for these gloves.
Maybe if I had XL hands instead of L hands the comfort level would be different. The good news is the Vibration Reduction and Dorsal Protection (what is a dorsal anyway). work as advertised. Please note by the same token, I doubt these gloves are usable by anyone with M or S sized hands. The bad news is the pads are so thick it makes griping any power tool I've ever used problematic - so you end up making a trade off - less vibration but your hands have to exert additional pressure because your grip gets more awkward.I still plan to use them when I knock out a section of brick, but other wise they stay with my hammer drill.
