Do these gloves protect your knuckles like boxing gloves do, or does it leave the knuckles exposed?

The knuckles are exposed. They are probably not good for activities that include punching. Still nice to use to enhance your workout.

They do cover your knuckles, they are very comfortable, the only thing I don't like is how much they make my hands sweat.

Sorry... The gloves fall right on top of the knuckles and it covers them a bit. They leave your fingers exposed.

I would recommend using wraps. My knuckles can definitely feel the difference. But I'm a beginner. Perhaps my knuckles aren't in prime boxing shape yet.

This type of glove is basically made to protect your hands when working with your hands, they are not made to keep warm but to reduce wear on the skin. If you are turning wrenches they will hold up well, that's what they are designed for.

Sergio, I don't think they will. They look similar to MMA gloves and actually, on the packaging it says they're for MMA training. I just looked at some pictures of MMA gloves and I can't tell for sure. I wear mine under boxing gloves though. If you go to Sports Authority or Dicks Sporting goods you can try them on for size and see. That is how I got my first pair. And you can put them under MMA gloves to see if it fits. :-)

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 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...:)

They completely cover the palm and upto the last joint joint of your fingers (last joint is exposed)

hi danika,these will give you some more support, but i found that after using them for a bit the gel padding area broke open, and that although they covered the knuckle where your finger joins your hand, they do not protect the next knuckle out, which still got pretty beat up. i switched to everlast wrist support heavy bag gloves, which work much better for support and protection, but are still flexible enough after a bit of breaking in to be comfortable. i also got a pair of cheap dollar store stretchy winter gloves, cut off each finger about half way, and wear them under the boxing gloves. it absorbs the perspiration and keeps the boxing glove cleaner. hope this helps!kathi hi danika,these will give you some more support, but i found that after using them for a bit the gel padding area broke open, and that although they covered the knuckle where your finger joins your hand, they do not protect the next knuckle out, which still got pretty beat up. i switched to everlast wrist support heavy bag gloves, which work much better for support and protection, but are still flexible enough after a bit of breaking in to be comfortable. i also got a pair of cheap dollar store stretchy winter gloves, cut off each finger about half way, and wear them under the boxing... » Read More hi danika,these will give you some more support, but i found that after using them for a bit the gel padding area broke open, and that although they covered the knuckle where your finger joins your hand, they do not protect the next knuckle out, which still got pretty beat up. i switched to everlast wrist support heavy bag gloves, which work much better for support and protection, but are still flexible enough after a bit of breaking in to be comfortable. i also got a pair of cheap dollar store stretchy winter gloves, cut off each finger about half way, and wear them under the boxing gloves. it absorbs the perspiration and keeps the boxing glove cleaner. hope this helps!kathi « Show Less

Wraps are always good practice for a couple of reasons; hygiene (esp if you are using communal pads in between boxing) as you can wash them easily (and the gloves are a little harder to clean) and a bit of extra padding can sometimes help when you are hitting the bag hard ;)

It depends on the use. They would be fine for sparring, but for hitting a heavy bag, no. If you are going to be using a heavy punching bag you want something that completely covers the hand. I used these for a punching bag and my knuckles got torn to shreds.

I tape my knuckles and use wraps. These gloves were great for a while but something changed inside my right glove and now my pinky & ring knuckle get bruised even with tape and wraps under the gloves. Ultimately, it depends on how big your hands are, and how well they fit inside the gloves. I have very small hands.

They are not bad. You hands do get sweaty. These are the only gloves I've ever had so I don't have anything to compare them too.

If you are just doing cardio kickboxing type stuff, it doesn't really matter because you won't actually be hitting with any power anyway. If you plan on learning to actually box, get another glove as this one does not offer the wrist support needed and you will injure yourself. It happened to me and one other person in our gym. I suggest looking at some Title hook and loop gloves if you want a real boxing glove and not crap that is sold to people who don't know any better.

As bag gloves, these would be awful. The weight is across the knuckles and would hurt. They work great for shadow boxing, however.

They might be a little big , after a couple of washes some of the material was fraying. I switched and now use Meister Gel-Padded ProWrap Hand Wrap Gloves ( cheaper and alot better fit and good padding and easier to wrap/take off. I also use Adidas Super Inner Gloves ( which I found on title boxing's website) both are great alternatives to traditional hand wraps for use with aerobic kick boxing and boxing .

Yes, the gloves are designed to protect your hands from cuts. They work well for my husband.

I have the same wraps and the same exact bag. The answer is yes, but ensure you are using good punching form and not for extended periods. After a while or after successive days your knuckles do feel the beating. These wraps are great and highly recommended - they are lightweight, offer good wrist support, and mobility but for really intense or extended heavy bag sessions you will want to consider real bag gloves. This is my plan and I am going to purchase bag gloves for this reason in the near future. Happy training!
