Boy have I had a hard time finding a pair of weight lifting gloves! My previous ones were simple leather Saranac gloves, not much padding but they lasted for several years. The leather eventually rotted out forming huge holes. But I can definitely say that the Saranac gloves were awesome.
Now onto the replacement. I tried four different types of gloves.
Harbinger 143
Harbinger 1260
Harbinger 1215 Big Grip II
GoFit Diamond-Trac
The Harbinger 143 gloves were OK. They didn’t have too much padding, but fit very snug and were difficult to get off. Also, the fingers were short.
The Harbinger 1260 and 1215 were both unusable due to having too much padding in the palm and knuckle area. The padding is comfortable for pressing exercises (e.g. bench press), but makes it all but impossible to do pulling exercises (e.g. pull ups, curls, deadlifts, rows, etc.). You can try them yourselves, but save some money and take my word for it.
The GoFit Diamond-Trac gloves are the best of the bunch for my needs. They have a little padding in the palm, but not enough to interfere with your grip. They are lightweight, so I’m not sure how long they’ll last, but I’ll reserve judgment on that. They do make my hands sweat, because the neoprene on the back doesn’t seem to breathe well. They run a little larger in size than the other gloves. Also, I like that they have a finger tab to help you pull off the gloves.
Please be kind enough to indicate if reviews are helpful.

These gloves have a huge amount of padding which buckles when you close your fist. It makes it very difficult to hold heavy weights because you only have your fingertips left to grab. I suppose it would be better if you have really long fingers, but even then you’d have the buckling.
For this much money, there are more useful gloves. Get something else.

I was a bit concerned when I received these gloves as they have thin leather, compared to the much thicker I usually wear out in two months. These have held up VERY well and run correct in size.
