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.

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

I use these gloves on a regular and they are great for all types of exercises. I bought specifically for pull-ups and the are fantastic. Get them, you won't regret it.

Best gloves I've ever had. From Olympic and compound lifts and others, these are great.Mine fit perfectly and give "slipless" grip for lifting heavy or otherwise.Stuck out of town right now and what do I wish I'd packed first? Had to pick up some Golds gloves...not even close to the same feel as my Bionics.Durable, affordable, and have exceeded my expectations.

I have read Texcasters response and it tells you all you really need to know, except for the velcro closure patch which is large and holds very well.These gloves are very tight fitting and stiff,great for protection, but take time to limber up for movement. Use baby powder on them for your first 5 or 6 times to reduce the struggle of getting them on/off...a good protective glove.

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!

I would recommend you go to the Harbinger website and look up their sizing chart. It helped me choose the right size gloves.

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.

Bought them for my son playing football. He has big hands but as a 17 yr. old his hands are not "heavy" just long fingers (his 6'2 and werars 15 shoes). They are thin but very snug fit. Would recommend xxl or bigger if offered. Son has xl. These are the best gloves, most college athletes use them.

The handles are very substantial. although it would depend on your definition of large. I wear extra large gloves and they are fine for me. The only thing I notice is some exercises cause the handles to dig into your forearms. and due the the extra length of the handle over other models it takes some tinkering to get the right resistance. However they are nearly indestructibly.

I never really noticed. Why does that matter? You're working out and they feel comfortable and properly cushion your hand. The only thing I've seen is that the edges around the wrist area absorb a little sweat. I use the natural coloured one and would not have noticed this as much with the black gloves but I still like the colour I chose. :)

I'm not sure - they fit snug but not tight on my hands and my hands are medium. My husband has big hands and he just looked at the glove and said 'it won't fit'.

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.

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

No, its better then a standard weight lifting glove but less then a wrist wrap.

I would say they fit average hands. I do not have delicate "woman" hands, but short stubby thick fingers. However I am not sure how good it would work for a large man with large hands.

Hi thereYes great grip. You can't go wrong with Harbingers gloves. I've been using them for years, same pair still in good condition and I recently bought 2 pairs from Amazon for my partner and he absolutely loves them as he lifts heavy weights.Cheers, Nancy
