Could these gloves also be used as protective weightlifting gloves w/light dumbells during aerobics?

I don't think so, because they have weights in the palms and it would probably be difficult to hold onto the dumbbells. These are really nice, though and stay on really well, unlike the ones where you slip only two fingers and thumb in and they flap about. These are a cut-off glove with the weights, so they really stay on securely. I love them!

Yes they will. I liked the resistance level on these. It was just enough to feel it the next day but not too heavy during exercise. The only downfall on these for me was that they are not ideal for small hands. They tend to slide a lot since the weight is located on top of your hand. I used these once during my combat class and had to take them off after 30 mins since I was constantly busy holding on to them trying to keep them from sliding to the side. My knuckles were pretty red from the friction.

These wrist wraps are designed for wrist protection when hitting a heavy bag the knuckles & thumb must also be protected, i do not recommend using these wraps for that purpose.

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!

I can't see why not. The material is softer than some punching bags (foam, not rags)but I would think it would still be pretty hard on the hands ... but what do I know. I would say yes but as a massage therapist, I'd say protect your hands

I think these straps work well for any kind of pulling exercise/movement because of the added grip. I use to use gloves when lifting but I prefer straps by far. Hope this helped

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 have used it while lifting weights and a friend of mine uses it during his boxing work outs. I hope this helps you out.

I don't feel that they slip much and they don't cover a substantial part of your wrist, so I would think it should work. I love these gloves! I want to get some heavier ones now.

I don't see why you couldn't. If you keep some slack in between the straps once you Velcro it around your wrists, your wrists will have a little bit more room to move around. Personally, I strap them tight when I'm weightlifting to keep my wrists fairly immobile.

I use mine for kettle bell workout and have not seen any wear or tear! I also use them for rough metal barbells with no damage done to them. These gloves are great! I have now ordered two pairs for friends!

The gloves work fine for these purposes. The gloves provide a good grip. The real problem with the gloves is the seams. They will tear at the seams in a relatively short period of time. For deadlifts, though, you are far better off with a set of deadlift straps or hooks. They last much longer and work far better than gloves.

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

You could but I wouldn't recommend it. It doesn't provide enough protections for your wrist. I use regular boxing gloves for sparring. And use mma gloves for light sparring.

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.

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.

They're not for heavy lifting, in my opinion. I like to have my thumbs covered or I get blisters. The grip is great, but not enough coverage for me. Also, make sure to get the correct size or you'll be sliding around.
