I've had grip pads actually tear apart mid-set before, which was pretty dangerous. Made me wary of them. Maybe I just got a cheap brand, but it was enough to send me back to bare hands and chalk.

@FitFanatic, yikes! What brand was that, so I know to avoid it? That sounds like a serious quality issue. I've never had a pad tear, only wear down slowly.

At the end of the day, it's about what makes you comfortable and allows you to perform your best. But for me, the hygiene aspect of pads over gloves is a huge win. Easier to keep clean, less gross.
