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

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.

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.

Leah, i don't think these gloves would help you. i bought them so my brother could continue to have movement and warmth at the same time. i would probably go for a brace. hope that helps.

Are you sure your palms are 9.5 to 10 in WIDE? Maybe you mean length? Any way they stretch a good bit. I would recommend the gloves instead of the liners and prob xlarge

I really don't think so. After getting these I am not all too impressed with them. They fit tighter than expected and knife points go right through them. They are kinda slippery like wool or mitten style gloves. I went with hexarmor gloves instead. They really protect from cuts and lacerations on a level that is highly above the competition. look up their site you will love the gloves. They take a little bit to break in but after having them for 6 months they hold up well to the abuse I put them through. Hope this helps

I've only tried these gloves.... They are amazing!! They work fantastic and wash up well in the machine. They must be dry when using though, since dampness will conduct the heat.

I only have small gloves, so cannot answer your question. I really like mine and I have tried several other brands. These are the best.

Yes but boxing gloves will feel better because of the extra padding . If you're starting out this might hurt your knuckles/wrists , so start out easy

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.

Padding is a bit less with these gloves, but that's probably the case because they are full fingered. However, I think they protect your whole hand very well.

If I were going to be doing that a lot, I'd invest in something a little sturdier and better fitting. These were pretty loose on my hands (average woman's hands) and the seams were not very smooth - would get annoying if I were doing a lot of document handling. (They're great for wearing at night with lotion for a skin treatment, however, which is what I did).

Is that with or without your wraps on? I have smaller hands than that and with my wraps on, my gloves are nice and snug. Considering these are heavy bag gloves, I would highly recommend wraps even if that causes you to go up a size in gloves.

Hello from Verde River Products - If you have extra small hands, have not used gloves very much for other purposes other than cooking and so do not feel comfortable wearing gloves while working- I would not recommend these gloves to you. BUT if you are familiar with how a glove feels while working on various projects you can maneuver your hot cookware and perform various other tasks with these gloves even if you have small hands. We still have the first pair we had made over two years ago and when we compare those gloves to brand new gloves we have noticed our original pair is more flexible - so with use and washings and heat applied to the gloves - the silicone does become more flexible over time.

I used them just for riding my motorcycle. I used them and nice pair of leather gloves. I repurchased just to have them again. I live in Oklahoma and was a 12month rider. As my circulation has changed in cold my fingers are ice my hands. They are an integral part of my cold weather gear. I hope I helped. I seen the other responses. I wonder what went wrong. I was extremely impressed with them.

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

What size did you buy? I have not had that problem, BUT I bought the Large Gloves and they fit me right, straight out of the box, so, I am not sure why you're experiencing this issue. So you have no issue with the other "fingers", JUST the thump and the pointing finger, right?Personally, I would keep them based on quality, but that's an opinion based on 3+ years of continuous use.
