Why not just wear gloves? What's the benefit of these over regular weightlifting gloves?

For me, these provided much better protection for my hands, while still letting me grip the kettlebell securely.

In my opinion, this minimalist gloves benefit is that the hands are less hot and sweat a lot less than with regular gloves that cover them all. I don't have to take them on and off over the entire trainning hour because they prevent hands suffocation.

I use these primarily for rig work: pull ups, toes to bar and then kettle bell work, rather than barbell lifting gloves.

I can tell you after ordering and using this ptoduct, that is useless and uncomfortable. It doesn't help prevent the dry skin caused by using weights.

Totally agree. It was uncomfortable and awkward. Don't recommend it for weight exercise.

The gloves feel heavy but not because of padding. I would only use them for weight lifting.

I think, if anything, it would give a better result. The Fat Gripz that people attach to dumbbell bars make the bar thicker, and dramatically alter the way the bar works the forearm. So gloves (or wrapping them in tape) would make the bars thicker and probably harder to work.Currently I'm using the ProHands gripmaster...and its too weak, I found one of these at the nearest used sporting goods store, along with a pair of Fat Gripz...unfortunately this is too strong.

I haven't had the opportunity to give the new ones a try yet so I can't say which is a better choice btwn the two. I will say that the gripper glove is definitely a great glove to incorporate into workouts when your hands get truly sore, no matter what level of experience or strength you may have.

Absolutely!! I'm a woman and I purchased a small and they are by far the best gloves I've purchased to date for weight lifting training and Bootcamp.

They're not for heavy lifting, in my opinion. I like to have my thumbs covered or I get blisters. The grip is great, but not enough coverage for me. Also, make sure to get the correct size or you'll be sliding around.

They have very good padding however they are not hardcore gloves for lifting heavy weights all time so if you are not heavy duty lifter they protect you against callous . Overall awesome gloves.

In my humble opinion perhaps cyclist prefer the dexterity of a bare finger for shifting gears? I have used batting gloves for cycling when it's colder, they worked but it was a short ride & my handle bars are padded. My batting gloves do not have padding like my cycling gloves so for long distances it wouldn't work for me...my understanding of the main purpose of cycling gloves is extra padding on your palms for those long distance rides not warmth. Hope this helps, again this are just my thoughts. Happy cycling!

I use these gloves for speed bag & double end bag training. If you want to hit the heavy bag you should buy a size bigger than your normal size, so you can wrap your hands. These are good gloves but I personally use my boxing gloves when working out on the heavy bag. My kickboxing gloves don't allow me room to wrap my hands properly. You definitely want to protect your hands. Get the 180" hand wraps, these will be perfect to wrap your hands thoroughly. Everlast, or Meister MMA are really good wraps. I really like the Meister MMA. I am a female, normal size hands, at a little under 5'5". I would've ordered a size large in these kickboxing gloves to allow room to wrap my hands, if I knew, before I ordered these. Hope this helps. Good kickboxing gloves though.

Any glove designed to assist I'm gripping a heavy weight lift bar should also be good for grip while doing push-ups. It does factor on the floor surface also certain material may be more slick on different surfaces. But I would say yes to answer your question

I would recommend using wraps. My knuckles can definitely feel the difference. But I'm a beginner. Perhaps my knuckles aren't in prime boxing shape yet.

As you can see from the pictures the glove material is medium thickness, with some compression. They offer some warmth and I believe would protect skin from accidentally bumping your hand lightly which might otherwise abrade your skin. No protection from heavy contact, the kind which would cause bruise. Definitely worth trying.

These are supposed to be used inside a glove, but, I would never use them, because they do not offer thumb support. Title does make "Fighting Sports" glove wraps, and those are fantastic, under a glove, to replace conventional wrapping, and they do have great thumb support, which is an absolute necessity. This is my strong opinion, because I would not want anyone hurting their hand, when title, has a much better glove wrap to offer, in "Fighting Sports". All the best!!

Leah, i don't think these gloves would help you. i bought them so my brother could continue to have movement and warmth at the same time. i would probably go for a brace. hope that helps.

The gloves work fine for these purposes. The gloves provide a good grip. The real problem with the gloves is the seams. They will tear at the seams in a relatively short period of time. For deadlifts, though, you are far better off with a set of deadlift straps or hooks. They last much longer and work far better than gloves.

I wouldn't recommend it. The whole point of these lighter, fingerless gloves is so that they can be used for mixed martial arts, where you may have to grip/grapple with your opponent. I would recommend going for the heaviest boxing gloves that fit you (I wear and would recommend 16 oz gloves, but some some women/smaller people/people with smaller hands will wear 12 or 14 oz gloves). These a) give you more protection and allow you to hit the bag harder without fear of injury and b) give you a better workout. Think of it like wearing a weighted vest while working out-one that protects you as well (they do actually sell weighted hand wraps and even weighted shinguards for kickboxing). If you're interested in actually fighting (which is usually done with smaller gloves), your punches will be that much more powerful/quicker if you train with heavier gloves.

I haven't use them for that but I think you should be able to keep them in place if you use the red thumb straps. I use them for lifting exclusively.
