Perfect this winter for keeping your fingers all nice and war..... Oh wait nevermind.

bought these last time - great for punching your dog. not great for a rowing machine. caused blisters.

I have these...they're great for biking, especially my bmx. I'm a woman with average sized hands, so I ordered the size small and they're a perfect fit.

I sense a strange but strong urge to do as Woot commands me to.

Are these roxors?

I'd be in for three were it not for the fact that I don't have short fingers. Curse these long fingers!

Those are from people with some short fingers....

I have found that these are actually pretty good for Kayaking, too.

Harbinger makes really nice workout gloves. Had a pair of natural leather ones about 10 years ago that were the best gloves I ever owned. Well worth it.

These seem perfect for the gym - I hate touching left-over-sweat, and love having a good grip on the machine. I'm in.

Anyone know if these would be good for the gym?

I'd use them for shrugs, lat pull-downs, pull ups, low rows, and squats.

Would they cause blisters?

I have the very old black gloves (well over 4-5 years) and they're starting to age.

Harbinger gloves are good. I use a pair (not this style) for weight lifting.

That being said, $5 shipping for a light pair of gloves seems excessive, unless it's a three pack or something.

I want my TWO DOLLARS!

They appear to be around $20 at Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Harbinger-Adventure-Finger-Mountain-Biking/dp/B0007YGCWY

I would think that if you got blisters, you bought the wrong size.

bag of junk please....

These are great little gloves. Highly recommend!

In for 1! I'm doing my 1st 50 mile bike ride in October and needed a pair of gloves. Thanks Woot!

"Unless you’re one of those people who play Allen. Nothing will ever make you guys look cool."

What's "Allen"?

Won't my fingers stick out the ends of these gloves?

As per the sizing chart, 9.5 inch "knuckle circumfrence" is the upper limit for XL. If the XXL was available, I'd be in for one but I don't like tight gloves for biking and not willing to risk wasting the $9 on this.

Contrary to popular belief, gloves such as these *do not* improve your grip. Chalk, largely outlawed at most gyms, is best for your grip.

$22.95 on Amazon, though the one review for them is not good.

I just went to buy a medium pair of gloves, and was told they are "unavailable". Don't offer them if I can't buy 'em!

was about to woot my first item ever and they ran out of medium while i was entering my info...

worst. day. ever.

Means they sold out of them in M..

Perfect for the person with cold hands that just needs to get that crocheted scarf done!

No, good gloves increase grip by increasing the friction between the hand and the object (making it harder for the object to slip). Poor gloves have a smoother surface than a human hand or no noticeable difference.

Chalk does increase the friction but not necessarily moreso than gloves because of the wide spectrum of glove quality. There are many materials that increase the friction more than chalk.

Oddly enough these work great for anyone who is into sim racing and uses a Logitech G27 or similar. I already have 1 pair (not this brand) but they tend to stink after a week or two. For this price I ordered 3 pairs.

Buy these for a friend in a wheelchair...long distance wheeling is hard on your hands.

seems to be only small left. Sadness.

seriously, lol.

I got them awhile back off Woot. They are definitely good for your hands.

hey Woot- how about offering some padded shorts? Most people who go on long rides need them too!

Friction and grip are two different things. Adding distance between your hand and what you're grasping (essentially what gloves do) reduces your grip, thereby lowering your overall ability to pull a weight. Check out olympic weightlifters - you'll never see them wear gloves.

'Short Finger Sporting Gloves'?

I always heard them called 'nosepickers'.

You can stick most of these types of gloves in the washing machine

My hands aren't small!

Shut up and bear crawl, you bet I need these.
