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 would always suggest taking rings off when lifting. Less risk of hurting the ring or yourself. Plus, the material is thinner than I expected, you'd probably puncture the material.

You could, but really, you want to get weight lifting gloves. These aren't leather, and I don't think they would last long as lifting gloves. You could just live with the calluses that comes with lifting heavy things.

They do right up on me, but I have thin hands. They get the work done, but I do have to wear regular gloves underneath so that the movement of the gloves don't bother me througout the workout. Hope that helps.

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.

I almost forgot about those... They're 'work gloves' and though I'm a machinist/mechanical Engineer, These gloves are more for general use to prevent slipping and perhaps more applicable to carpentry, (though I don't know if carpenters would agree). It's safe to say that they're 'general use' work gloves and help prevent slipping due to oily or sweaty hands.

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

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

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! You can!

I have never used them for this application. But I hear of people doing that with these type of glove. I have heard stories of success with this. It would be a cheap solution at least. Give it a shot what do you have to lose?

The padding are not that thick, but they do a good job of padding your palm and help with griping. I haven't notice any issues with dumbbells or barbells during my work out. Hope this help narrow you in the right direction.

They are better than Ove Gloves. They resist higher temps and the grips are better.

my hands are 9" thumb to middle finger. I cannot fully wrap around the grip, that's also not its intent. these grips simply reduce the surface area so other muscles need to work harder. your lifts will be lighter of course, but the benefit is improving strength in other areas. these also are not a go to everyday addition to your workout, so size is a no issue Imo.

Reason it is little big, give you room when you use hand wraps for support ligaments / tendons / cartilages and to prevent any hand / wrist injuries. Some people choose to workout without the hand wraps, just working out light. Please remember this, striking with your fists, use you index and middle fingers' knuckles. They are stronger than the ring and pinky fingers' knuckles, these set of knuckles or the back of your hand called metacarples will fracture (also known as boxer's fractures) safe, stay healthy, have fun. Take care.

Those type of gloves can be used for sparring, but they have to be 16oz. For competition, you need the lace up's.

I guess you could but they're specifically for heavy lifting in the weight room I would suggest getting some wrist wraps for boxing.
