If you are not using the strap part can you secure it and use it as just a glove? Or will it always dangle off?

Nope, that wouldn't work. It's a long strap so that would not be an option.

No it would dangle off, there is really no place to put it. Also I've been using mine for at least 3 months and they still leave black marks on my hands, and you need to constantly wash them, they carry a strange odor from sweating in them, my older pair did not do this.

Yes, and u r also able to take strap off if you want to. Honestly though, you don't need it: these things do NOT come out

I have not had this problem. It's just a matter of snugging the straps tight enough to prevent the device from sliding down.

You can use the secure strap as it's designed for a certain height. You can use the stickies (which I never use I suppose). If you are a hard runner, I would be very careful with this approach.

I needed an extra set of hands to help put it on too. but being a small female, my arm span isn't big. It kept popping off as I used it. After injuring my foot by landing on the hardware without the safety cover on, I used jute string and tied it down. So far it has stayed as it should.

there is a velcro connection that rips off the first time you use it. If you can sew the velcro on instead of gluing it, there might be a chance of it staying on.

I just unscrewed the handle fixtures so I could put that on. The velcro strap is extremely annoying and falls out when I take it off. If I could reverse the velcro side I think I could get it to stay in.

That is a very good question! I don't have a first hand experienced answer. It would be hard to pull the strap off your body, cutting it would be difficult, and unscrewing the attachment screw is difficult. I have found that when I have the strap on my body my left hand is usually on the camera, and I feel that it is safe. Like any pickpocket situation we must be allert of our surroundings. Donald.

You can! However, I ran into the problem with wrist support with these. The gloves themselves were extremely snug (a size smaller wouldn't have fit at all) but the wrist wrap was still extremely loose. There's only a small amount of velcro and it's not a one size fits all kinda deal. So I wouldn't recommend them. I ended up paying a little extra money for the Everlast gel wraps and they're amazing for just hitting the bag and as a "wrap replacement" under the gloves. If you're doing small sessions they're perfect, for heavy hitting you want the support of a full wrap, that's why we still use em because nothing beats it lol. Hope this helps!

Yes, you should have no problem with this. The different adjustments on the strap should take care of this.Thank you!

No. The strap wraps several times around the wrist. Very good quality gloves.

Yes it fits very well in your hand. A plus to have the strap. I have had no slippage or any other issues.

It's totally up to you. Personally I prefer to wear the wraps. Did to the fact it make my hand slightly bigger, and allows the glows themselves to be more secure when hitting the bag. So I would say YES go ahead and wrap it up.

Yes you can, it just slides into an open slot between the glove and your palm and can be easily removed without removing any stitching.

Yes,you might have to knot the strap to keep it tight but that's how I use mine

Yes and yes. I take my camera everywhere all of the time. I carry it in one hand with the strap wrapped around my wrist. The strap's connection to the eyelet on the side where I secure it loosens regularly, and I have to check it so the strap doesn't come off and send the camera bouncing off the ground. The connection on the other side works fine, so if you don't carry your camera as I do, this is a nice strap.

Well, that's the only down fall of the Shield. I had to hot glue gun the the metal part of the strap to keep from coming off. But after doing that it was just fine. The strap is velcro. Make a little loop so that you can put your arm through it and tighten the strap if you need to. It just wraps around part of the forearm and place the handle on the other side of it so you can grip it.
