Great hand savers! (tip for breaking in)
I liked these much more after they were broken in. Here's a little tip on how I did it which comes from how I use to break in baseball gloves.
Tip for breaking in leather gymnastic grips.
1. Fill a tall microwave safe kitchen glass 3/4 full of water and microwave for 2.5 minutes ish. You want the water very hot. (use a hot pad to pull the glass out carefully when done).
2. Roll the grips up like a piece of carpet and push them down into the water (use a wooden spoon).
3. Let the grips soak for 15-30 minutes ish..
4. Take them out and let them air dry hanging on the side of the sink (should take a day or so).
5. The grips will feel a little stiff initially, rough them up a bit with your hands and they will turn super flexible and completely broken in.
This should work for "reviving" old grips as well.

Great hand protection. Terrible velcro straps.
I just received these in the mail Friday and used them on a Saturday workout with pull ups. The leather is good quality. It isn't too thick where you feel like you can't grip the bar, nor is it too thin where you feel like it isn't helping. They do bunch up a little bit when you jump up and grab the bar, but it is something you just get used to. My only complaint is the wrist strap. It is very basic velcro with a plastic piece the velcro loops through. The velcro is a bit abrasive, and the plastic piece rubs your wrist. I played around with them and tried pull ups with them loosened a bit, as well as tighter, and regardless of how tight they were, they still rubbed my wrist raw. I recommend them because of how well they protect your hands, but i'm disappointed on the quality of the wrist straps.

Almost.
The strap that goes on the right hand is perfect. But the strap that goes on the left hand...well that plastic piece DIGS in the wrist and will leave you permanently scarred. If you made it so that the plastic piece for the left hand strap was on the opposite side...like the right strap is...these would be perfect. Don't know why you haven't done this with all the other complaints about them.

Still exposes calluses in the S size
The same problem as another reviewer - I measured my hand and bought a small, seems like the correct size across the palm except the finger holes are way too large, so the grip slips down, leaving my hand exposed in the exact area that I am trying to protect. Seems like its not just the length of the leather that should change with the sizes, but also the finger opening. Or maybe I am missing something and there is a technique to placing hands on the bar to keep the leather grip in the right spot regardless?

Good but could be better
Rogue- time for a V3 re design. These grips are nice and are made out of the proper material for their purpose but the buckles and wrist straps are simply badly designed. The grips or identical... Meaning they are really only made for one hand. Unfortunately I do not have two left hands so the plastic buckle always digs into my right wrist. Once rogue gets the design right these will be very nice grips and I would easily give 5 stars.

Awesome Hand Protection
I have used every grip/ glove out there, these are the best by far.

Great, but need a slight re-design
Love these, except for the buckle on one hand being under my thumb. This is due to the grips being identical. If the buckles are opposite on each grip, then they are on the lateral part of the wrist and don't dig into the thumbs tendons/nerves. With that feature, my 4 stars goes to 5. Rogue, please fix this and I'll buy these until I die!

Good, but the plastic piece is painful
These work well, but both are meant for the right hand, which means the plastic piece digs into your left wrist below the thumb, especially if you're wearing them with HSPU or HS walk in your workout. If you wear with it with a wrist band it helps.
Strap could be made with a material that is a little less abrasive, too.
