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.

I don't know. I always where gloves when I workout to keep from getting callouses. Sorry I couldn't help much. But they are working well. I went from size 15 to 16 and half inch arms in the first 3 weeks

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.

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!!

I don't think so. The grip with these kind of gloves will be so thick... I use them for gym.

Utilizing these within your training cycle will increase strength with the same lifts. Rotate using them and not using them, in time you'll be able to lift more in those specific lifts. I found these to be most beneficial with pulling movements.

Yes. You wear them so you don't get blisters/calluses and so you can have a better grip on the weights

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.

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

I use them inside gloves, as an alternative to wrapping. The gel provides more shock absorption, and they are quick to put on. I have also used them directly for light sparring of opponents. I have small hands, for an adult male, so I got the small/medium size, and they fit nicely.

I typically add lotion to them. The gloves help keep the body heat and moisture in and gives the lotion a better chance to work.

The bearings are spread out so in a way it would help-they sort of turn your fist into one more dense contact point. They are more protect your hand. They do not interfere w/ grappling more than any other snug leather glove would.

Hi there, I think probably better than cloth wraps, because there is a little bit more padding on top with some time of gel. But I take a kickboxing class and hit the bags and I wish I would have gotten a better glove with more support. There is a slightly bigger version ( I think Amazon also sells it). I will keep them though because they are good. I think if you wear regular cloth wraps, you would probably like these because they are not bulky and just offer better protection than just wraps. hope it helps

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 DEFINITELY do! They have a lot of ventilation around the palms of your hands. This helps with sweating and also makes the gloves a lot less stinky after a good training session than other gloves.

Yes, I wear these three times a week for weight training and they prevent the calluses I used to get without gloves. I have another pair that have thicker padding, but I have been choosing to wear these. They're lightweight and flexible. Cute, too. :)

i Have big hands and the medium are not too small. Buy the same size as youre gloves. but remember that they hurt when you lift heavy weights
