I've found myself in a position where I need to use crutches and a wheelchair to get around. I very quickly found that this is hard on the hands and started to develop callouses and a bit of a bruise. These gloves have since protected my hands and they've started to heal!

These are very thick and durable, the good thing about straps is they are elastic and you can adjust the tightness unlike sleeves, to give the amount of support required. They fasten with Velcro and so far this is holding up well.

Easy to fill and flexible We have named him Dave, and is his filled with old clothes and towels. Took more filling than though, but he is flexible and a good practice dummy.

The neoprene padding provides comfort when I tested these out with 50kg dumbbells. With larger weights the comfort decreases. Other lifting straps I have used do offer a far better level of padding and comfort. The padding provided by these is better than on some products.
