Can these gloves be used for competition as well?

I do not believe so,unless specified otherwise, most competition gloves are lace up closure, these are what is referee to as Velcro, or hook and loop closure, generally banned in competition due to the Velcro being "scratchy."

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

I would recommend looking for a Gore-Tex glove for the situation you are asking about. They will be truly water proof and more durable.

As you can see from the pictures the glove material is medium thickness, with some compression. They offer some warmth and I believe would protect skin from accidentally bumping your hand lightly which might otherwise abrade your skin. No protection from heavy contact, the kind which would cause bruise. Definitely worth trying.

The gloves would work great for that. I got them with the intentions of scuba diving, but the problem with these gloves, is that they have VERY, very small slots for the fingers. I highly recommend trying on these gloves, or any for that matter, before committing. Good luck.

They are for both I believe. These gloves are holding up very well. They have been used now for several practices and games. The grip is great! I would buy another pair without any hesitation if needed.

Probably not Dan. They are your average size. The glove would most likely make the fit too tight.

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 believe so. These were for my fiancé. He's worn large Mechanix gloves and the medium/large of the fingerless gloves fit him similarly. That first pair of large gloves were a different style though. The large ones didn't have all the padding and rubber that these fingerless gloves have. But generally, I think it's about the same based on our experience. Check their return policy just in case.

They would most likely be uncomfortably tight. They are really thick also. Tommie copper has half finger gloves that are absolutely wonderful and they come in different sizes, not one size fit all like these.

Yes. Functionally these gloves work great. Just be warned as the leather die bleeds onto your hands if you sweat a lot.

It's "cumbersome", and no, they will not likely stand up to the use of chemicals. You will have to put up with gloves designed for chemical resistance. Sorry.

I'm not familiar with the new ones sorry! But if you do Crossfit, I don't recomend any of these gloves, instead look up for Rogue Gymnastic gloves, those have worked great for me doing pull ups, T2B and weightlifting! Hope this will help you!

Yes! Absolutely! These gloves are great for gaming and will most definitely increase the blood flow and circulation while your fingers are gaming at a fast pace! Thank you for your interest and support of our IMAK Compression Active Gloves.

I dont see why not. I do have one complaint about these gloves though. The straps for the wrist support are of the non stretch material. I feel better support would be there if it was able to snug up against the entire wrist, rather than the widest part of the wrist.

I believe they'd be fine! I have tiny hands with long fingers and they fit wonderfully. My fiance is a tall muscular guy with big hands, and his hands also fit in these gloves.

Yes. These gloves would be good for a heavy bag workout. Not particularly heavy gloves, but you should be able to wail on that bag as fast and hard as you want.

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
