how exactly is this an improvement over a regular glove that goes over your thumb?

I believe it gives the freedom and movement of your hands while still protecting them. They don't slide around. It just feels more like your not wearing anything. Someone else may have a better answer.

Not sure I can answer your question, Don't know that I would consider it an improvement but I was looking for a glove that was going to protect my palms.

More mobility! Not so much extra material between the finger and thumb like other gloves.

I use a piece of PVC pipe, a coupler that is 1 5/8" longer with ID 3/4", and slip this over my thumb. I was nicking my thumb knuckle more than anything, and this has worked fine. Occasionally I do catch the plastic on the grater, probably not good for blades, but better than bloodying my thumb almost every time.

It gives better leverage and is easier to release with your thumb without moving your hand around the grip. It is more of a comfort thing than a tactical advantage.

From my experiences with actual firearms I can't tell the difference from when I'm shooting barehanded... the pads in the palm simply soak up a lot of the recoil so I don't take so much wear and tear. It lets me practice a lot more than I normally would without tearing up my hands. For paintball the heavy reinforcement across the backs of your hands and 2/3 of your finger's length would prevent almost any hit except for one right in your triggerguard from even stinging much.

To be honest I do not recommend this for you. I actually stopped using mine. What I didn't like about it was the wrap part. It was to thin, it always got tangled, and never stayed flat... just to time consuming. I recommend you buy Everlast "Evergel". I got this for my wife, just like a glove w/o the wrapping procedures. It has 2 velcro for your wrist for extra security. It's still gel which is a plus, and it comes pink. If your into traditional wraps... just buy the plain heavy duty extra long wraps. That way you can form an extra padding around the knuckles. I hope I answered your questions thoroughly. To be honest I do not recommend this for you. I actually stopped using mine.

It is adjustable, one size fits all. She adapted one for my thumb when I needed one for my thumb. She did it at no extra cost. Since the thumb is out to the side if your hand it did need a little extra.

If you do not have large hands, it is fine. Regular hands are tight, but work. The touch is adequate. Large hands may not be worth it, though.

It's a "stretchier" and more forgiving version of athletic tape. While I still prefer gloves for high rep pull ups, this will suffice to cover palms if you wrap them properly.

It doesn't immobilize the thumb completely. You might also want to look in to arthritis gloves which help circulation but you can still move your fingers.

I'm pretty sure the anti-steam glove has a different lining. Steam is really hot, this protects your hand better than the hot surface glove - although that probably would work, too, but I can feel the difference in the lining.

I have never used them for this application. But I hear of people doing that with these type of glove. I have heard stories of success with this. It would be a cheap solution at least. Give it a shot what do you have to lose?

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

I believe so. I have short fingers and the glove fingertip openings are below the top knuckle. Plenty of freedom!

i tried on the gloves and gripped a metal bar instead of doing pull-up. Found that it is pretty easy to turn my wrist in/out. The material on the palm area is cushioned but not rubbery. I think it is good for dumbell lifting and benchpresses, but not ideal for pull-ups.

I only use it on a middle finger. I don't know how it would work on your thumb. if it were me I woulduse a thumb splint. so sorry I can't be more help to you

They give you different looks. I prefer the cone shaped. I think it is easier. You have to get used to it though. I kept burning my fingers. I don't like wearing the gloves.

Honestly, I'm not sure. The glove does, however, just finish covering my the two bones at the base of my wrist. Hope this helps!
