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.

You can get full fingered cycling gloves, but those are normally for cold weather riding. The fingerless gloves allow for better air flow in warmer weather. As for using batting gloves, you can use whatever is most comfortable for you. But, cycling gloves provide padding for the pressure points of your hands for the different grips on the handlebars. There are many different pad patterns and thickness so, again whatever is most comfortable for you.

The reason you don't use gloves, is that it will partially melt the rubber, which means you are also absorbing some rubber.

I don't think so. The grip with these kind of gloves will be so thick... I use them for gym.

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.

They have very good padding however they are not hardcore gloves for lifting heavy weights all time so if you are not heavy duty lifter they protect you against callous . Overall awesome gloves.

You can! However, I ran into the problem with wrist support with these. The gloves themselves were extremely snug (a size smaller wouldn't have fit at all) but the wrist wrap was still extremely loose. There's only a small amount of velcro and it's not a one size fits all kinda deal. So I wouldn't recommend them. I ended up paying a little extra money for the Everlast gel wraps and they're amazing for just hitting the bag and as a "wrap replacement" under the gloves. If you're doing small sessions they're perfect, for heavy hitting you want the support of a full wrap, that's why we still use em because nothing beats it lol. Hope this helps! You can!

They's great for working in tight places where a wrench might slip and you'd normally bust a knuckle open without them. If you must punch something, they are rubber and would hurt the other guy more than you. If you want workout gloves, these are not what you're looking for.

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.

I would honestly not use them for any workout. They are pretty uncomfortable. The fist/hit is not balanced so it comes out weird and you can even hurt your hand. Finally, they totally destroy the skin around my hands in just a few minutes. I prefer to use mexican hand/wrist bands. They really protect you and the fist/hitting is more natural and you get a better feel for it. Plus they are only like 3 bucks. Once you get the hang out of it, you can put them on in a minute.

The bearings are spread out so in a way it would help-they sort of turn your fist into one more dense contact point. They are more protect your hand. They do not interfere w/ grappling more than any other snug leather glove would.

The padding are not that thick, but they do a good job of padding your palm and help with griping. I haven't notice any issues with dumbbells or barbells during my work out. Hope this help narrow you in the right direction.

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 ;)

I have in the past wore rings underneath mostly because I was afraid of taking it off and misplacing it. But I would get an annoying pinching between the ring, fabric of the glove and the bar. Better with the gloves but still not advisable.

They DEFINITELY do! They have a lot of ventilation around the palms of your hands. This helps with sweating and also makes the gloves a lot less stinky after a good training session than other gloves.
