How do these gloves compare to the Fit Four Ani-Ripper Gloves as far as bodybuilding, heavy lifting, and grip strength?

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.

The anti ripper gloves are leather while these are silicon and gives it a little extra grip. My brother has the anti ripper gloves

I do not have the Fit Four Anti-Ripper gloves to compare, but these gloves seem to be more geared towards reducing cuts and blisters on your hands rather then providing a better grip. I find these gloves slip on my hands, a thumb strap would make them better, but for pull-ups and light bar work, they suit my needs.

Joe, I generally wear a small or medium glove depending on the style and manufacturer. Wrapping a tape around my knuckles reads about 8-1/4". I found the gloves comfortable except for the trigger finger which was a little tight. I bought them thinking they'd give me a little more dexterity so I wouldn't have to take them off to pick up small objects. They're a little cumbersome as the ends of the mitten part are squared off rather than rounded. Hope that answers your question. If not, get back to me. I'm not sure I'd buy them again, but I wouldn't return them as they're kind of cool.

I disagree. I believe the 12oz gloves were extremely tight on my hands.I am also 5'8" and have medium sized hands. I would try these on at a sports good store first before purchasing them though Amazon. I had to return them because they felt uncomfortable for me.

Hi,I got these gloves, and I loved it. It's my second pair. It's a large size. I'm a 5'8 and fit perfectly. I love them cause they are long on your arm and gives you a better wrist support. Hope this helps.L.

What size did you buy? I have not had that problem, BUT I bought the Large Gloves and they fit me right, straight out of the box, so, I am not sure why you're experiencing this issue. So you have no issue with the other "fingers", JUST the thump and the pointing finger, right?Personally, I would keep them based on quality, but that's an opinion based on 3+ years of continuous use.

Greetings; I returned a pair of Med. size because they were way too small for my husband. I got a large which were still too small for him so I use them and to answer your question, they have "given" a little, but are still on the "small/snug" side for me. I don't think there really is enough flexibility in these to allow for a proper fit in time. The manufacturer of these and so many other work gloves I "test" need to do a better job of sizing for the US customer base. Hope this helps, all best.

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.

Which new ones are you referring to? I have the gripper ones and they're pretty good, they do provide extra grip but if you don't get them loose enough, they start to dig into the webbing between your thumb and palm. But then if you don't get them tight enough, they could fall off. They're pretty good but I can only speak for the gripper ones

i am adult male, 200 lbs, average+ , thin hands (not meaty). they fit me fine, small hands could use them . keep in mine that connected to the glove is hand wraps---- is you look carefully you can see they wrap around hand and up to wrist. i love the fast you have glove and wrap all in one. I love them and the price is great!!!!!!!!

I lift pretty heavy for my weight and sweat profusely. They work well for all my lifting and do not get soaked during my 2 hr lifting/cardio cycle. The wrist support helps a lot for the heavier lifts. Hope this helps.

They are better than Ove Gloves. They resist higher temps and the grips are better.

The heavier gloves are usually for training, sparring, and bag work. The lighter gloves are usually for competing. Your weight also plays a factor in which size is appropriate. Hope this helps.

I use them three to five times per week at the gym using moderate to heavy weight, and I have zero callouses. the finger hole openings are wide which is nice so they have not ripped near the fingers like other gloves I have owned.

I wouldn't recommend these gloves for muay Thai. These are more for entry level heavy bag boxing training

There should be a measurement chart on the website... measure across your palm and match it to the chart... these gloves run slightly large, and you want a tight glove for lifting... so go smaller than the chart recommends... I wear a size small in these gloves, but the chart says large... they are a bit tight at first, but then stretch to perfection. Hope this helps.

I am not familiar with any other version of these gloves. Those are the ones that I purchased.

I have small hands and these fit perfect. What I learned when I started boxing is that the gloves are all about the same size but they are different weights. I have this pair and a 14oz pair. Both fit the same but the extra padding in the heavier pair slows me down and I don't care for it. As long as you properly wrap your hands before putting the gloves on you should be good with these. I love mine!
