where is the padding? Palm side or knuckle side? Would this work as weight lifting gym gloves?

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

Knuckle side as these are for striking. I doubt these would hold up well as weight lifting gloves because they are nylon/cloth and weights would shred these pretty quickly.

I wouldn't recommend it. The whole point of these lighter, fingerless gloves is so that they can be used for mixed martial arts, where you may have to grip/grapple with your opponent. I would recommend going for the heaviest boxing gloves that fit you (I wear and would recommend 16 oz gloves, but some some women/smaller people/people with smaller hands will wear 12 or 14 oz gloves). These a) give you more protection and allow you to hit the bag harder without fear of injury and b) give you a better workout. Think of it like wearing a weighted vest while working out-one that protects you as well (they do actually sell weighted hand wraps and even weighted shinguards for kickboxing). If you're interested in actually fighting (which is usually done with smaller gloves), your punches will be that much more powerful/quicker if you train with heavier gloves.

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.

Shouldn't be a problem. I use them for a combat class and by the time they get a little "damp", if you know what I mean, they feel pretty loose. The palms are a light material, not leather. Hope that helps. I really like them.

I never really noticed. Why does that matter? You're working out and they feel comfortable and properly cushion your hand. The only thing I've seen is that the edges around the wrist area absorb a little sweat. I use the natural coloured one and would not have noticed this as much with the black gloves but I still like the colour I chose. :)

Sergio, I don't think they will. They look similar to MMA gloves and actually, on the packaging it says they're for MMA training. I just looked at some pictures of MMA gloves and I can't tell for sure. I wear mine under boxing gloves though. If you go to Sports Authority or Dicks Sporting goods you can try them on for size and see. That is how I got my first pair. And you can put them under MMA gloves to see if it fits. :-)

I don't think so, because they have weights in the palms and it would probably be difficult to hold onto the dumbbells. These are really nice, though and stay on really well, unlike the ones where you slip only two fingers and thumb in and they flap about. These are a cut-off glove with the weights, so they really stay on securely. I love them!

I don't know. I always where gloves when I workout to keep from getting callouses. Sorry I couldn't help much. But they are working well. I went from size 15 to 16 and half inch arms in the first 3 weeks

I'm female with pretty decent sized hands (I weightlift) I ordered a medium as my hand is 7.5" (measured by me & Hubz): medium was HUGE on me. I sent it back & ordered a small, they are still HUGE on me. But if I order an XS the fingers will be too short. They're great gloves & I wish they fit & worked but sadly not made for a woman.

There should be a measurement chart on the website... measure across your palm and match it to the chart... these gloves run slightly large, and you want a tight glove for lifting... so go smaller than the chart recommends... I wear a size small in these gloves, but the chart says large... they are a bit tight at first, but then stretch to perfection. Hope this helps.

These are full-fingered gloves. I don't know if they are available as half-fingered gloves

These are supposed to be used inside a glove, but, I would never use them, because they do not offer thumb support. Title does make "Fighting Sports" glove wraps, and those are fantastic, under a glove, to replace conventional wrapping, and they do have great thumb support, which is an absolute necessity. This is my strong opinion, because I would not want anyone hurting their hand, when title, has a much better glove wrap to offer, in "Fighting Sports". All the best!!

I'm not familiar with the new ones sorry! But if you do Crossfit, I don't recomend any of these gloves, instead look up for Rogue Gymnastic gloves, those have worked great for me doing pull ups, T2B and weightlifting! Hope this will help you!

well I use them for weight lifting,, I think they may be too heavy for racket sports,, maybe try baseball gloves..but the womens are probably fine for racket sports since they are not as heavy

Joe, I generally wear a small or medium glove depending on the style and manufacturer. Wrapping a tape around my knuckles reads about 8-1/4". I found the gloves comfortable except for the trigger finger which was a little tight. I bought them thinking they'd give me a little more dexterity so I wouldn't have to take them off to pick up small objects. They're a little cumbersome as the ends of the mitten part are squared off rather than rounded. Hope that answers your question. If not, get back to me. I'm not sure I'd buy them again, but I wouldn't return them as they're kind of cool.

My palm measurement was at the upper end of the size that I measured and ordered. My fingers are normally thin and I found the gloves to be pretty snug during a flare, but not uncomfortable. If I were to order again I would go up a size. Definitely if I wore them to type.
