Review before working out and edit after working out at the bottom. Reduced from 5 to 4 .My hand measured just slightly under 25 and after reading reviews, I opted for going for the medium since 25 is the max side of the small and reviews said they run small. I feel like they're slightly baggy on my hands which I don't really mind however, I'm glad I didn't go for the small because the part between my fingers is a little tight and rubs the webbing between my fingers a little. Maybe that will work itself out as they get broken in though as they're a little stiff right now. They're a bit thinner on the palm than I expected and the padding is also a little thinner than I expected. It's not an issue, just a little different than I expected. I don't need a ton of padding, I just need a barrier between my hands and the bar during dead hangs and leg lifts more than anything.I did have to losen and move my watch up my arm but I kind of assumed that would be the case when I opted for gloves with a wrist wrap. The wrap is thick and good quality. It seems VERY sturdy and I expect they will have the support I need to help keep me from reinjuring my wrist. I was a little surprised to see that the velcro patch wasnt bigger. I have very small wrists and I am still toward the edge of the patch so anyone with big wrists may not confortably be able to wear the wrist straps. The color is bright and vibrant and I'm glad I went with green (although I'd call it more of a blue which I could tell from the pictures so it's okay ). The top is a thicker mesh type of material id assume to support breathability and I'm curious to see if it helps. My hands sweat a lot so I am a little nervous to see how they breathe.Update after using in workouts: I can't wear these for just generally working out. For whatever reason, they cut off my circulation to my hands (especially when lifting dumbells) and it's not the wrist straps because theyre comfortable and not too tight. I can't really figure out what is cutting it off but by the time I do a set of 10 with dumbells, my hands are tingling and when I put them down, I feel all the blood rushing back into my hands. I do, however, put them on for dead hangs and I added 10 seconds to my hang so far so they work for what I got them for. The palm padding is still a little thin. I wish they were a smidge thicker. They still rub the webbing between my fingers which I'm not thrilled with but it's not as bad as it was initially so they may still loosen up some. The breathability is fine, which I was worried about. They are really easy for me to remove but as previously mentioned, they're a little big on my hands so that may not be the case if yours are tighter. I still love the wrist wrap. It's very stiff and sturdy and really supports my wrists well.
