I haven’t used them so far while weight lifting but right now I’m going through an eczema breakout on my palms. Lifting (especially deadlifts and rows) is causing it to be even more irritated and it’s also making me not be able to lift as much because my grip is painful. I’d like to try some gloves until it clears up. I have pretty small hands so they would need to come in multiple sizes. Looking for something available in the US!</p>
