Get clear answers on sizing, fit, and leather care for the Women's Premium Leather Elite Trainer Gloves, so your lifting gloves stay comfortable and last longer.
Quick answer
Choose your usual women's glove size using the GoFit size chart, expect a snug but not tight fit, and wipe the leather palm after each session with a damp cloth, then air-dry away from heat. That routine keeps the Women's Premium Leather Elite Trainer Gloves comfortable and extends their life.
Why leather needs different care than synthetic gloves
Leather responds to moisture and heat differently than synthetic fabrics. Too much water or direct heat can stiffen the palm and weaken the reinforced stitching over time, while a quick wipe and air-dry preserves the supple feel that gives you a secure grip. The vented jersey back and four-way stretch material between the fingers also benefit from air circulation, so avoid sealing damp gloves in a gym bag.
When a snug fit is too tight
A new leather glove should feel close but allow you to make a fist without pinching between the fingers. If the four-way stretch material pulls tight or the wrist closure leaves deep marks, size up. Because the palm is leather, it will soften slightly with use but will not stretch dramatically, so starting with the right size matters more than trying to break in a too-small pair.
Fit and care questions answered
- How do I choose my size?
- Measure around your dominant hand at the knuckles and compare to the GoFit size chart for S, M, or L. If you are between sizes, choose the larger size for comfort during long sessions. Always measure your dominant hand, not your non-dominant hand.
- Should the gloves be tight or loose?
- They should be snug enough to stay in place during lifts but loose enough to allow full finger movement. You should be able to make a fist without the material digging into your skin. Test by making a fist and checking for pinching between fingers.
- How do I clean leather gym gloves?
- After each workout, wipe the leather palm with a damp cloth (water only) and let them air-dry completely. For deeper cleaning, use a leather-safe cleaner sparingly and avoid soaking. Never machine wash or tumble dry. Avoid soap on the leather unless it is specifically made for leather.
- How should I store them?
- Store gloves in a dry, well-ventilated place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Do not leave them in a gym bag or car, where moisture and heat can cause mildew or stiffness. Stuff with newspaper if they are damp to help them keep their shape.
- Can I use them for other activities?
- These gloves are designed for weightlifting. The leather palm provides grip on bars and dumbbells, but for activities like cycling or rowing, a different glove may be more appropriate. Reserve them for lifting to maximize lifespan.
