Can these gloves be used for swinging on Monkey bars? Will she be able to grip the bars without slipping or is the padding too thick?

That's exactly why we bought them for our six year old daughter. Unfortunately, they were too slippery and she had trouble getting a grip on the monkey bars. She absolutely loves the gloves however, and they are excellent quality. Just not so great for monkey bars.

We've never used them on monkey bars, but I don't think they would be too thick. My son can easily bend his hand with them on and they are not slippery.

We used them for gymnastics on the parallel bars because of sweaty hands seemed to help

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.

No extra padding, just one layer. But it isn't a "grippy" surface - more like a suede. Hmm that is a great idea though....

Before I responded I grab them out of my gym bag and held them in my hand. The rows of foam padding on the fingers would make it awkward for gripping things such as a rock. You can tell this glove was designed for gripping a bar. would not recommend for Rock climbing.

There isn't any padding on the gloves but the dots in the grip do seem to make gripping items easier on the hands.

Gloves are for pushing movements. You need Deadlift Straps, which you wrapped the bar with for pulling movements. I prefer the ones with a padded wrist wrap

Hmmmm. Good question. The sling isn't silky but rather slippery. However, she might be able to practice certain moves. I suggest you look for some videos on YouTube that demo how to use this device to give you a better idea. There are some out there. You would need to supervise her. My daughter (8) loves using it and she gets pretty fancy on it. Hope this helps. :-)

They are standard thickness grip panels they are NOT the thin grips. I can put a micrometer to them in various places if you would like that kind of information. I have hands that require xxl gloves and they actually feel a little thinner than normal panels but they are not. I think that's because of a number of factors, the material, the pattern and the large scoop allowing dramatically easier access to the magazine release.

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.

It didn't have little rubber grips or anything, but I wouldn't say they were slippery. They aren't silky/satiny, so there isn't much slip. They're about as grippy as you would expect from cotton gloves.

I'm sure that wearing gloves will give you the same strength-conditioning as bare handed training would. I have never used gloves with my hand grippers, but if I did- I would use a good quality driving glove that didn't hinder my ability to close my hand into a fist. Or you could try a batting glove or golfer's glove.

If you are talking about a leather work glove, the answer would be no. The grip is substantial but not big enough for thick gloves. It would work with rubber gloves or thin gardening gloves.

That would be a lot to stretch. I very much doubt they rubber will stretch that much. Basically the grips are stable and hard rubber for resilience. For the rubber to stretch that much you might want to use hair spray on the inside of the grip and apply a rubber hammer to force them on to the handle bar. Chances are that the grip might split when forcing them on or over time because of the stretch the grip to fit on the wrong size of application.

Yes they get slippery. They are textured pretty good but its still plastic and it gets tough when your hands get sweaty. And I use these outdoors in phoenix in the dead heat of summer. I like to think it makes the workout harder tho.

I have large, thick hands, but the gloves stretch quite a bit. I believe they will also shrink up if you put them in the dryer for a while. They should work fine for someone with small hands.

Padding is on the knuckle side. Yes, I sometimes use them as weight lifting gloves.

You shouldn't be worried about the grip. The rubber has a near tacky feel and has a great fit in the hand. I am 6' and wear size large gloves. Great feel. You won't be disappointed.

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

You should still be able too but maybe with a lesser grip. I tried working out with bars with these gloves on body pump and still was able to hold a good grip of the iron bar (iron bars is less smaller than wii controls).
