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.

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'.

They fit "true size", I mean they fit perfectly (as a glove lol).I prefer having them fitting perfectly, because I get in this way an awesome grip. The durability of this gloves is outstanding (I use them everyday at least for a couple of hours a day), and are still perfect. I Think this was a great deal and great product.

I have both the Isotoner and Imak compression gloves. They are both very good but I do think the Isotoner ones have a bit stronger compression. Also, the Isotoners fit my hands better. I have short fingers and the Imak come too close the the finger tip for me. So the Isotoners are a better fit for my hand and seem to have a bit stronger compression.

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

While I don't think these gloves were made with weight-lifting specifically in mind, I can tell you that I've worn mine 40 hours every work week, for very arduous, hands-on, heavy lifting work, for about a month and a half now. They're holding up brilliantly. The palms and fingertips are a durable-weight leather, the stitching is very sturdy, and the wrists are elastic, with adjustable Velcro closure, so I bet they would stand up to weight-lifting fairly well. The only drawback with weight-lifting might be that the palms are extremely durable, but not terribly breathable. (Unlike the backs which are a lighter-weave fabric, and nicely breathable.) Hope this answers your question!

I have tiny hands. These fit me perfectly. They were nice and snug with hand wraps. That being said, if you're planning on sparring with these gloves, they're probably a little thin. I have a pair of Hayabusa gloves that fit me perfectly. They're much more expensive, but they're awesome gloves. If you're planning on doing martial arts and not just a cardio class, I would stay away from Everlast.

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.

Gina, you can definitely use these to lift. I do. But if you aren't doing any boxing, I wouldn't recommend getting these simply because of the cost. If you are boxing, then definitely get these. It saves time not having to change gloves!

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.

They might be a little big , after a couple of washes some of the material was fraying. I switched and now use Meister Gel-Padded ProWrap Hand Wrap Gloves ( cheaper and alot better fit and good padding and easier to wrap/take off. I also use Adidas Super Inner Gloves ( which I found on title boxing's website) both are great alternatives to traditional hand wraps for use with aerobic kick boxing and boxing .

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.

Padding is on the knuckle side. Yes, I sometimes use them as weight lifting 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.

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

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.
