I have bruised the MP and IP (2nd and 3rd) joints of my thumb swinging kettlebells, and it hurts like an unrelenting bastard.

I need a decent pair of weight lifting gloves (I'm thinking, probably gel padded) to protect my thumb and finger joints from injury.

Amazon has about 1,725 of them listed, and I kind of vapor locked.

Does anyone have a good suggestion?

I'd prefer a "shorty" style that doesn't cover the wrist, and elastic is preferred over Velcro closure if available, but neither of these is a deal-killer.

From my bike rep days I can tell you many of the biking gloves sold to weightlifters. Perhaps not the "best" but at least some selection to look at for fit and pad placement.

I use some I got off Amazon with full wrist straps. A requirement for me is to have wrist straps. I guess just look at the reviews and take a gamble.

I've been using the same Harbinger Flexfit Non-Wristwrap Workout Weightlifting Gloves with Flexible Cushioned Leather Palm (Pair) for years.

Very limited size selection right now, though Frown
