For heavy loads, a genuine leather glove makes a noticeable difference. The leather palm doesn't deform under repeated loads, gives a stable grip on Olympic bars and protects your hands during high-shear movements (deadlifts, bent-over rows, weighted pull-ups). Order before 12:00 for same-day dispatch from Meyrin and delivery in 1 to 2 working days.

RDXSports.ch is the official RDX Sports store for Switzerland. Authentic models, Swiss warranty, support in FR/DE/EN.

The 2 active models

  • Leather / open back / breathability → L4 leather fingerless open-back — genuine leather palm, open back of the hand for breathability. The balance between maximum protection and ventilation.
  • Leather / full palm coverage / top of the range → L7 leather weightlifting — full-palm leather, dense padding, wide hook-and-loop strap. The benchmark model for maximum loads.

Why leather for heavy loads?

Stability under load
Leather doesn't compress under heavy loads the way synthetic materials do. The palm stays stable for the whole set, even on high reps.
Natural non-slip grip
Quality leather gives an instinctive grip on Olympic bars, even with sweaty hands. Superior to synthetics on loads where losing your grip would be dangerous.
Lifespan
A well-maintained leather glove lasts 3 to 5 times longer than a synthetic equivalent under intensive use. Cost-effective in the long run.

Frequently asked questions

How do I look after leather gloves?
Wipe them after every session with a slightly damp cloth. Leave to air dry. Apply leather balm once a month to keep them supple. Never machine wash.
Do leather gloves prevent calluses?
Yes, the leather palm spreads pressure over a larger area and reduces friction points. But light calluses are normal and desirable in weightlifting — they show your hands are adapting. Gloves reduce excessive callus build-up and painful cracks.
