Why not just wear gloves? What's the benefit of these over regular weightlifting gloves?

For me, these provided much better protection for my hands, while still letting me grip the kettlebell securely.

In my opinion, this minimalist gloves benefit is that the hands are less hot and sweat a lot less than with regular gloves that cover them all. I don't have to take them on and off over the entire trainning hour because they prevent hands suffocation.

I use these primarily for rig work: pull ups, toes to bar and then kettle bell work, rather than barbell lifting gloves.

I can tell you after ordering and using this ptoduct, that is useless and uncomfortable. It doesn't help prevent the dry skin caused by using weights.

Totally agree. It was uncomfortable and awkward. Don't recommend it for weight exercise.

I use gloves since i only use poles for fitness but there are a lot of anti stick ointments that can be used as well.

I would say yes. Way better than using true boxing gloves and they still give you protection while working out.

Yes. These gloves would be good for a heavy bag workout. Not particularly heavy gloves, but you should be able to wail on that bag as fast and hard as you want.

I only use then for a few minutes, 3 times a week. I do not use wraps. I do however have on weight lifting gloves when I wear them. Not because they are needed but in order to make a smooth transition to me next exercise. I hope this tidbit of info helps.

Hi thereYes great grip. You can't go wrong with Harbingers gloves. I've been using them for years, same pair still in good condition and I recently bought 2 pairs from Amazon for my partner and he absolutely loves them as he lifts heavy weights.Cheers, Nancy

I'm not a good example for wraps as I don't really wear them (and I injured myself once or twice), But, I would wear wraps for heavy bag use or serious sparing. Like the other gloves out there, Alone, The integrated wrist wrap does not provide enough support for extensive pounding (in my case, for hooks).

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 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.

Hi Kathleen, My apologies for the late reply as it was a busy weekend! Mechanix compared to other gloves is mainly a matter of choice. They are priced well and they are durable.;-)

These gloves should be fine. They fit snug so they do not move when doing Zumba or any other aerobic activity. The weighted part of the gloves is on top of the hands so you can still do push ups, hold other weights, etc. I am very happy with the gloves and I use them for walking/step workouts regularly.

You can. They wont hurt the bag and will protect your wrists and hands, BUT they wont last as long if you wear them alone, without bag gloves. So still use bag gloves if you can. Otherwise Yes, a cardio strike punching bag or anything else that was made to be punch/kicked for training should be fine to use with these if used properly.

Yes these are multi-purpose gloves there are perfect for weight lifting they are very comfortable and soft on your hands.

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.

Yes. You wear them so you don't get blisters/calluses and so you can have a better grip on the weights

You can use these to lift but I wouldn't recommend it. The palms aren't designed for gripping the gnarled steel of barbells/dumbells and will tear to shreds. I know first hand because I used an old pair for this purpose and within a couple weeks they were unusable as I had completely torn off the rubber support on the palms.

I am a Crossfitter and that's exactly what I use them for. No need to chalk up 10 times and my girlfriend appreciates a guy without callouses and blood all over his hands. I have been purchasing 2 pair/year for the last 3 years, I hope they don't ever stop making these. And the full finger just makes all of the difference in grip to me. Just my humble opinion here. Good luck!
