I'm a male with large wrists, 8" around. Are these big enough to wear without cutting off circulation?

My husband has the same issue so we used a piece of PVC to pre-stretch them. You do want them snug so don't over stretch them. :o)

It's hard to say how much they'll stretch. My wrists are 6.5 and plenty tight. They need to be, for the "button" to press hard in the right spot. So they would be tight on you, but another 1.5 inches would be really tight. Do they take returns?

I Have exceptionally large hands. My hands would be large, even if I were a guy, but I'm a woman. The bracelet fits me very comfortably.

They stretch, but I wear a 32 inch sleeve in a long sleeved shirt and they (the sleeves) go from my wrist to my armpit. So the length on a bigger man would be questionable.

Yes they can be. I use them for working out under my boxing gloves and mitts. I have smaller wrists so I wrap them around my hand first, one time and then around my wrist and they are great. The padding has held up and I machine wash them and hang to dry.

My wrist is 6", but the palm of my hand is bigger (maybe 8.5") and I guess restricts just how tight it will get around the wrist. You could call the company that makes them. They were very helpful responding to a question that I had.

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.

They are tight on me, but my arms are on the heavy side. My Wrist is 6 1/2 in. And just below elbow is 10 3/4 in. Hope this helps!

The bands adjust for large to small wrists. The band is made to accommodate either male or female. My husband has a size 9 wrist, and I'm about a 5 so I think you should be ok.

The circumference of my palm is 8" and I can wear a small or medium. Unless you have very long fingers you will probably be fine with small. They are great gloves!!

You probably wouldn't like these any better. My hands are large/xl woman's, and I still have plenty of room. Not so much that it is dangerous, but I can see where someone with very small hands would lose dexterity.

These will probably be too large for you unless you also use some padding underneath. My wrists are over 7 inches and the tightest I can get the straps does not keep them from sliding around. However, when I use wristbands underneath my wrists don't get abraded or sweaty, and the weights are much more secure. If you don't want the additional expense or bother of getting wristbands, just cut off the elastic tops of an old pair of cotton socks and they'll work perfectly, soft and large enough to fold in half to provide plenty of absorbent padding. Good luck.

Probably big enough for a ladies wrist but I had to purchase another, longer band for a big guy like myself. Hope that helps

I measured the same and I have the Large size. I do not wrap my hands in the gloves, but would imagine that the gloves would be too tight if you did. The built in wrist strap does provide for a very solid and tight fitting (if you desire) wrist wrap.

I (female) wear size L gloves and these fit fine. Not tight at all. But for a guy...don't know. I can say that there is a lot of extra room at the finger tips, so they may accommodate taller fingers.

They are adjustable, they would fit pretty much any wrist as far as I can tell.

I think they are large enough to fit a good sized wrist. Of course, I must add that I have much smaller than normal wrists. I find that I cannot get them on tight enough to keep them from sliding up and down while exercising. That might not be the case with the short distance from plate to mouth. It's worth a try and that's a very good thought.

My wrists are very slender as well and these fit perfectly. The velcro goes around your thumb and then around your wrist and you can make it as tight as you want. I bought two; one for my left and one for my right hand. I love them\.
