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

I only use them at night and on my right hand, where I have some arthritis. That doesn't mean the left hand glove is useless. I just turn it inside out, and: voila!, it is for my right hand also.

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.

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

I bought them in size s/m, my fingers are average and fit well, perhaps a different size would work better for you. In regards to your comfort question, yes, they are quite comfortable! , considering off course that they are made of special fibers, not the lightest or the softest but they work much bettee than other gloves with touch-screen features

You can still feel through the gloves, but I don't think he could bite through them. I am an electrician and use them on cold mornings or when I am working with live electrical panels. You may consider a pair of leather cuffs for your wrists?

These gloves gently squeeze but don't restrict movement like a wrist brace does. You might ask your doc or PT if these gloves would benefit you in other ways, ie helping to keep fingers warm.

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.

If your hands are smaller then size small, I recommend just wraps you can wrap your hands with a silicone knuckle cover if you need added protection.

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.

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.

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...:)

Hi. Yes, I think you'll be good. I imagine they'll be a little big but that is the name of the game unless you get custom fitted gloves.

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 have in the past wore rings underneath mostly because I was afraid of taking it off and misplacing it. But I would get an annoying pinching between the ring, fabric of the glove and the bar. Better with the gloves but still not advisable.

I wouldn't recommend these at all for hot weather ... They are thick and do not breathe well. Try looking for a knit material glove with the nubby palm for grip.

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.
