Does the leather dye transfer to your hands after extended wear? I wear friskers up to 6 hours a day and the Damas...gloves transfer dye like crazy.

Have been wearing them for nearly a year and have not experienced that yet. They do hold heat very well and make my hands very hot after a while

i leave my boots on all night (10 - 12 hours), but boxing gloves should not take quite that long. i would think 4-5 hours should be enough to dry them out.

Ultra dark is the darkest for me. After one application you will achieve a nice tan base color. I use it 4 days in a row to achieve a dark tan and after that only once-twice a week for maintenance. I suggest using the lotion before bed ( it will stain sheets a bit). Your palms will stain a bit but if you wash your hands with soap right away followed by any whitening toothpaste it will take all the color off your hands.

If recently applied (like within 24 hours) it might. I'd just be careful if they're light colored sheets. I apply the tanner in the morning (8am) and after I let it dry, I cover up with dark clothes. By bedtime it's usually ok (I haven't had issues with it transferring), but with light colored sheets that you don't want ruined I'd put down a towel or something just to be safe :) hope that helps!

While I don't think these gloves were made with weight-lifting specifically in mind, I can tell you that I've worn mine 40 hours every work week, for very arduous, hands-on, heavy lifting work, for about a month and a half now. They're holding up brilliantly. The palms and fingertips are a durable-weight leather, the stitching is very sturdy, and the wrists are elastic, with adjustable Velcro closure, so I bet they would stand up to weight-lifting fairly well. The only drawback with weight-lifting might be that the palms are extremely durable, but not terribly breathable. (Unlike the backs which are a lighter-weave fabric, and nicely breathable.) Hope this answers your question!

Not at all. Every 2 weeks after the cleaners clean my house, this goes into the wash for a Heavy duty cycle, and after what now, 2 years of continual use and washing, They have not frayed or changed color or lost their shape or in any way become worse for wear. in between I use a lot of them for other things too. quick clean-ups, they are superior in soaking up things that spilled, and cleaning my pets and anything that needs to be wiped. These things are great

I found that the black coating left a few small smugges on my hands after the first two uses. Nothing I was upset over and nothing that left a stain on any of the fabric I placed it down on. I work on airplanes for a living and I use this leather man everyday, multiple times a day. Worth the money and I even bought one for my brother who is just learning to work on cars. Hope my answer helps you.

I too have skin problems on my hands and must "moisturize" night and day. I chose the large so that there would be allowance for shrinkage when/if put in a dryer. They wear quickly after the first wash at the finger tips but then, they are inexpensive for so many....

I've only tried these gloves.... They are amazing!! They work fantastic and wash up well in the machine. They must be dry when using though, since dampness will conduct the heat.

No, when it is first applied the leather will darken, but will return to the original color after 24 hours once it dries completely

Clean the sticky side just with water after each use. When they get too smelly you can throw em in the normal wash with your other clothes. Each wash takes a bit out of them though, so wash only when the smell is way too bad.If you can afford it I'd have a practice pair and a game pair for the season. If not follow what I said and it should last longer than any other gloves you find. These are by far the best gloves on the market in my opinion. I've gone through a lot.

I have a pair from 2011 that said Machine Wash and Dry on the packaging, but now their web site says Hand Wash and Air Dry. I contacted Harbinger, and they said they switched over to new leather around 2011 that should be hand washed. I have successfully machine washed and dried my older ones, but did find that the black dye will rub off on other clothes.

The gloves are very long so you shouldn't have any problems with it getting down into the glove itself, however, I would sanitize them before taking them off to avoid coming into contact with your skin. Maybe have a bucket of bleach water ready to submerge the gloves while wearing them. Hope this helps. Happy weeding!

If you find out, let me know. My gloves started to come apart at the seams after light use.

Not sure what others have done, but I kept mine on my hand continuously for over a month, changing them or cleaning as necessary. I would assume that the more they are worn, the better the results.

Only on dry leather in my experience. If the leather gets wet, the dye I used still comes off on other fabric.
