I can't answer your question in regards to the rings, but they do fine in the gym. If I had to guess, they would be adequate for the rings. The straps are a little short though...I'm hoping as I continue to use them that they stretch a little bit.

I haven't had that problem, and I don't always use gloves when using the rings, it slides nicely. Of course my hands probably don't sweat as much as some and my use of the rings might be different than yours; I do not use them for gymnastics, I use them for Crossfit. I hope that helps...

If you really have sensitive wrists, you could give a chance to the gloves, otherwise I don't think you will have any issues with it. I don't find it hard on the hands/wrists whatsoever.

Funny you should ask... We were bike riding last weekend and stopped at a playground, my son kept his gloves on and seemed to do quite well climbing on everything in sight. These gloves are not padded, which is why I like them for small hands.

i tried on the gloves and gripped a metal bar instead of doing pull-up. Found that it is pretty easy to turn my wrist in/out. The material on the palm area is cushioned but not rubbery. I think it is good for dumbell lifting and benchpresses, but not ideal for pull-ups.

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 .

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

These are not weighted-knuckle gloves, I own a pair. They simply have an abrasion pad on the knuckles to reduce fabric wear.

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.;-)

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.

I haven't had any problem with these gloves and I use them on a regular basis.

If they have a youth pair id definitely recommend these gloves for children & adults the same. But only use underneath padded gloves. Would not recommend for direct bag punching.

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.

No good for that. These gloves are very thick and even underwater they are kind of hard to maneuver. Look into gloves with "thinsulation" I have some from Wilsons Leather and they're great.

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.

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.
