Having had ALTUS Leather gloves for a looong time, which did a pretty good job, these are quite a few grades higher in terms of overall quality, comfort, functionality and convenience. Sure my old ALTUS Gloves were washable however they really were not created with that in mind at all I imagine, given they were entirely leather and got very sweaty-dirty quite quickly. These Harbingers breathe quite nicely indeed, fit very comfortably pre-break in, and have a keen sense of design both in cut and design. They really enhance your concentrative strengths instead of less than optimal functionality insofar as trying to always adjust to avoid grip/palm pains for example.

These are great for many different uses aside weights... I noticed a reviewer mention they're great wheelchair gloves, and I can clearly see how easily they can be. Also great for driving, alot of outdoor work and also I find them to be great for tactical use and training as well. Very nice subtle cushioning in all the right spots.

Personally I find the pairs  in black look rather appealing, very intelligent design and perfect stitching. And of course, being machine washable is ideal with no indication of degradation. For me one bit of advice would be buying a size larger for more dextrous uses- they will shrink- although break back in just fine for lifting, however for things that require more finite handling, I find shrinking down and breaking in a larger size certainly makes the difference. A couple pairs will definitely come in handy for a very good time.
