Ok, well, I don't normally like writing bad reviews, but I've been using Harbinger gloves for my workouts for nearly 10 years now, and this new design is a major step backwards.

First, the design of the velcro straps, while cooler-looking, is less comfortable and more difficult to use than the old style where each side was the same and they fit together naturally.  This new style, you have to pull one side over to the other, and it feels like it pinches a little if you're pulling it tight enough to be secure.

Second, and MOST annoying, is the amount of black dye they use in the leather!  Every time I work out I rinse out the sweat from the gloves, and the water comes out black.  MONTHS after I bought them, they still stain my hands with black.  This has actually been a problem with these Harbinger gloves since the beginning, but I feel like this new style is even worse!  I soaked them in my sink with some laundry detergent for a couple hours to try and get the excess dye out, and when I came back to the sink the water was black, and even after that, they still stain my hands when I work out!  So annoying.  If anyone has suggestions of gloves that don't do this, I'm all ears.
