gym gloves

Weightlifter's hand protection

Gym gloves are fingerless gloves worn during weightlifting to protect the palms from calluses and improve grip on bars and dumbbells.

They typically have padded palms and a wrist strap for support: I forgot my gym gloves and my hands are wrecked.

Also called lifting gloves or workout gloves.
