I would prefer not to rough up my hands too much. Can you get the same result with these while wearing gloves and if so, what gloves are recommended?

I feel the same way. So I put a bit of medical tape on the handles. Works fine.

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'm sure that wearing gloves will give you the same strength-conditioning as bare handed training would. I have never used gloves with my hand grippers, but if I did- I would use a good quality driving glove that didn't hinder my ability to close my hand into a fist. Or you could try a batting glove or golfer's glove.

I did not wear gloves before,but is a good question, so next time I will wear rubber gloves and see how it works

No. In fact, you may find your hands are cold and uncomfortable. These are not riding gloves.

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. :)

Similar to your glove size. Doesn't matter if you are off a bit though. They don't fit like gloves. I wouldn't recommend them though. They are very uncomfortable.

Absolutely not! This is one reason I have to have this kind of glove when doing yard work. They are perfect.

I would recommend some latex gloves. I found that my hands were burning and dry when putting it on

I bought two gloves and use them both at the same time. I didn't turn my gloves inside out. However, it could be done. The gloves work very well. I use them when sharpening primarily.

Be careful not to break a bone in the main part of your hand. Handwraps are a better choice if you hit hard.

Go to a hardware store and try gloves on. I would go up if you aren't sure.

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.

I would not recommend this pair of gloves. Elastic band comes across the palm of your hand and hurts when lifting or doing pullups. I would recommend a full pair of workout gloves.

Hi there Yes 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

If you are not already rough with your hands, then your grip strength doesnt actually matter IMO. you must toughen up your hands. These things are metal and cut in a diamond texture like a weight bar. You should really get a Trainer model if you don't already have somewhat beatup hands. Even if it proves to be easy to compress, you can always slow down the rep to improve effectiveness until you pick up the #1.

yes, they have a good amount of grip for the price you are getting them. i would recommend these gloves if you're looking for a cheaper price and they will last if you take care of them.

I tape my knuckles and use wraps. These gloves were great for a while but something changed inside my right glove and now my pinky & ring knuckle get bruised even with tape and wraps under the gloves. Ultimately, it depends on how big your hands are, and how well they fit inside the gloves. I have very small hands.

I would recommend looking for a Gore-Tex glove for the situation you are asking about. They will be truly water proof and more durable.

At first you're not gonna get any grip, then after a little while wear, the gloves will get better with grip. If you're dealing with small nuts and bolts it might be a lil difficult to handle, because the gloves are insulated in em. It's like wearing 2 gloves. Other than that they're the most durable work gives I ever owned.
