Do these protect your thumbs from being pulled back? I sprained mine during a bout, and I need something that will prevent further injury.

Just fabric at the thumb, so I don't believe it will provide any real support to prevent your thumb from being pulled back.

They don't add anything extra fri your thumb and they fall apart = I'm still looking for good wrist guards &#128542;

These gloves are designed to prevent spraining your wrist. Your thumbs are not restricted so they could, depending how you fall get 'pulled back'. They are covered part way from abrasions but not sprains.

ladybugroove, my experience is similar to Gerry Mullen's. They have provided me with excellent wrist protection from abrasion. Conjecture on my part, but I would expect that the protection from thumb hyper-extension is limited to the tensile strength of the leather. They leave a substantial minority of my fingers exposed to impact and abrasion as well. That said, I would buy these again. They have done a superb job of protecting my wrists.

The balls are actually covered with fabric so hard to answer that question. But I can tell you that they give the sensation of thumb and forefingers pinching the back of your neck. Can be quite strong and actually hurt if you pull it too tight against the back of your neck. It really really does help loosen those tight neck muscles. If I lost mine today, I'd order another asap! Hope this helps

I would use regular boxing gloves with a wrap for that, don't feel these would be protective enough

I wouldn't use these for those types of yoga poses. I use them for lunges during my crossfit workouts, but even in that setting they're a little constrictive. They do, however, really protect my knees.

Injuries are such a nuisance! Yes, these should take the strain off your hands and more to the wrist. I'd also suggest keeping your rotator cuff strong too to avoid a shoulder problem - Bulletproof Your Shoulder has some good ex's in it. Happy training!

The Mueller brace Protects my thumb from bending,it is great for that,it is inforced with Metal thumb Splints.

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.

I use them for fishing in the winter. I don't have much rope to pull on because I am trolling and my hands are rough to begin with. They would work if you have to pull on rope. Fast moving rope may burn through the glove, they are thin. The glove comes to the first knuckle.

I haven't use them for that but I think you should be able to keep them in place if you use the red thumb straps. I use them for lifting exclusively.

They are not exactly compression. They work very well to protect the crotch rubbing of the skin and the same shorts with skin and avoid burns when training. If they are snug, but not so much as a compression.

they don't provide support; you would definitely want a brace. They keep the hands warm and less swelling.

They do cover your knuckles. It's important to use wraps with them if you're hitting a bag. They are great for both sexes. I've used mine in my Muay Thai class. The rest of the class bought them as well after trying them. The instructor (female) actually used them as well and rated them as her favorites

Yes. Definitely adds a layer of protection. I let my children try woodcarving using one on their non-dominant/holding hand. So far, so good. Don't be over-confident, but these should really help.

You could, but honestly it's pointless. I use them for heavy bag workouts with some 14oz gloves and they're very supportive. The only thing that lacks support with them is thumb support. I use them for heavy bag workouts under my gloves and they work like a charm.

Which new ones are you referring to? I have the gripper ones and they're pretty good, they do provide extra grip but if you don't get them loose enough, they start to dig into the webbing between your thumb and palm. But then if you don't get them tight enough, they could fall off. They're pretty good but I can only speak for the gripper ones

I use them with KB's. They're not very comfortable to me with KB's, but perhaps my hands are too big for the pair I have. It protects your hands from blisters I suppose since I haven't any blisters when using them with the KB's.

No thumb loop on these. But there is no reason to have them on these. The wraps have lots of support for lifting average heavy weight.
