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

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).

The gloves should only have a slight compression feeling. I would recommend sizing up too a medium.

I have the same problem and find that fingerless gloves work better. Yes, fingertips can get cold, but they warm faster than whole hands.

Be careful not to break a bone in the main part of your hand. Handwraps are a better choice if you hit hard.

I think LARGE is your best bet. Its better to have it a little big (if that is the case) than a little small. Too small will rip out the seams quickly. Most of the stress on the gloves is doing Bicep Curls . If my gloves were smaller Im sure I would have all ready rip them.

I would consider purchasing the small / medium. Take into consideration if you're using hand wraps you always want to be able to get the glove over the hand wraps. So those should be fine for you.

You probably wouldn't like these any better. My hands are large/xl woman's, and I still have plenty of room. Not so much that it is dangerous, but I can see where someone with very small hands would lose dexterity.

I've never tired using the gloves with Chemicals, but I've found by reading on line, that some have experenced melting of the glove when using varnish, and other chemicals. So don't think I'd try using them for anything beyond domistic soap and water cleaning.

I use the 1/2 finger gloves... they provide excellent compression on the wrist, hand, up to the first joint of my fingers... Maybe order a size smaller than you think you need? If you only need one glove, turn the other one inside out and you will have two of the same hand.Good luck! They also make them in "full finger" versions.Morgan.

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 haven't had the opportunity to give the new ones a try yet so I can't say which is a better choice btwn the two. I will say that the gripper glove is definitely a great glove to incorporate into workouts when your hands get truly sore, no matter what level of experience or strength you may have.

I've been wearing them more in the evenings before bed to provide comfort. During the day they do get warm, but the warmth can help painful hands also. I do not sleep with them on, but the pain during the night has alleviated, but not sure if it is because of the gloves or not.

I really love these gloves and I do some typing on the computer. I think it would depend on how much typing you do, as I have not done that much. I love the gloves, they help a lot.

I like the neoprene gloves that completely cover your hands better for a lot of bag work. I use these on the bag but we don't use the bags all the time in our class. I have to hit gently after too much bag work. They are enough support, I just find after too much bag work my knuckles get a little sore. Also, if you have large hands, order up in size. Not sure if this helps you any...:)

I never really noticed. Why does that matter? You're working out and they feel comfortable and properly cushion your hand. The only thing I've seen is that the edges around the wrist area absorb a little sweat. I use the natural coloured one and would not have noticed this as much with the black gloves but I still like the colour I chose. :)

While the gloves are thick, I can't say that they would protect your hands from bruises from being bumped. I believe they would cushion the bump but I can't say to what degree. I really like the way they not only keep my hands warm, but they also help with arthritic pain. I personally recommend them for the stiff joints and aches of arthritis. I hope this helps.
