weighted gloves

[shannoncorrin]

I recently recieved the weighted gloves that Cathe uses on STS. I liked the idea of adding 1-2 pounds easily between exercises. Well, I was really disappointed when I recieved them because the little weights that go into the gloves fit so tightly there is no way of getting all 4 in one glove. Only 3 of them fit. That really irritates me because it looks so easy when Cathe does it. Does anyone else have these and have this problem? Am I not packing them right? I was thinking about taping two of them together, maybe that would help?

Do you have the 2 pound or 4 pound gloves?

If you have the 2 pound ones, I'm not going to be any help to you. I have the 4 pound gloves.

Oops, I think I just figured out that you have the 2 pound gloves. Sorry!

Hey there... I have the 2 lb and the 4lb gloves. The 2lbs are good and easier to take in and out - but I don't love that there is no palm, internal hand padding...

Like the whole hand feel of the 4lbs - but it IS hard to get the weights in and out - all 4 fit in mine, but it is tight and I have not been taking them in and out much. Tight - but they DO all fit.... The exterior material is stretchy - have to kind of push them in...

May have to pause WO a bit when you need to change the weights.

Good luck!!

I was getting ready to purchase these gloves but saw the unfavorable reviews of the 4 lb gloves and your problem was the biggest concern. I believe people also said that the zipper had even broken on there because of the tightness.

It looks like the reviews are more favorable on the 2 lb gloves, but I'm not really keen on the palm being out either. Not sure what I will do, maybe see if there's another brand that has the best of both worlds.

If you find another brand would you post the link? Thanks
