Gear and Wear
A comprehensive review of gear and clothing for the active lifestyle, run and written by an avid hiker, runner, and all around fitness junky. The aim of the Gear and Wear is to fill the gap left from the lack of complete and thorough reviews available anywhere else. As such, all products reviewed by Gear & Wear have been used extensively before being reviewed to insure only reliable information is being passed on to other consumers. Reviews can be found categorized as a piece of gear (for hiking, camping, climbing, boxing/MMA, working out or other), wear (for footwear, shirts, jackets, pants and shorts or accessories) or by their brand name. Additionally we'll also upload a review on some food to keep you fueled! We can also be found on Twitter @GearandWearBlog.
Cost: $11.99-16.04 Variety/Appearance: 2/10. What you see is what you get. While I wouldn't say they are good or bad looking, I have to say they fall closer to the "bad" side of the spectrum. They are really a bare basics glove that doesn't offer any room for personalization or customization. Feel/Comfort: 8/10. These gloves fit and feel fantastic but because they only cover part of your fingers they only protect part of them. Some really finger intensive exercises can be rough on you because of this. Quality/Durability: 10/10. The double-stitched material really shows. These gloves take a ton of abuse but because of their sturdy design and quality assembly you would never know. Value: 10/10. For under $20 you're getting a pair of gloves that will last you for years and prevent a whole lot of calluses. Other: 10/10. This seems like it overlaps with the other ratings but these gloves seem too good to be true. It is hard to find such a quality pair of gloves for such a great price. They aren't too pretty but neither is the gym, when you're working hard and covered in sweat you don't need fancy gloves, you need reliable ones. That is exactly what these are, reliable. Overall: 40/50. Verdict: This is a great buy, anyone from a new lifter to a gym rat can afford these gloves and get really good use out of them. They aren't for anyone trying to be stylish, but they are perfect for anyone just trying to get some results at the gym. |
About your Reviewer: Joe P.Growing up in Michigan and around the Great Lakes has made it easy to be an avid outdoors enthusiast and conservationist my whole life. I love doing anything that keeps me staying active and being outdoors. This ranges from running, lifting, climbing, hiking, camping, biking, etc. All of these hobbies of mine are things I take very seriously and love to do. Because of this, before I make any purchase for one of my passions I try to do as much research about a product as possible to insure I am getting a product that I will enjoy for years. That has led to me starting this site in hopes of helping others avoid the guess work I went through by providing honest and unbiased product reviews.
