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

I use them as is; without anything else worn inside or outside of the glove. Some people use them inside boxing gloves. However, you will need to go up a size with the boxing glove to accommodate for wearing these inside the glove. There is quite a bit of gel padding on the top and around fingers.

I wouldn't particularly use them for that purpose. They provide great wrist support for lifting, but no support or padding for the hands and striking.

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.

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 could, but honestly it's pointless. I use them for heavy bag workouts with some 14oz gloves and they're very supportive. The only thing that lacks support with them is thumb support. I use them for heavy bag workouts under my gloves and they work like a charm.

I do have a little trouble with my hands so I do think the fitness gloves would be a big help. I have problems with one of my knees so I kneel on a pillow. The extra cushion helps.

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.

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.

Regular padding, the ones your asking about are the training gloves, those have less protection on the wrist, but more padding on the knuckle area. Those gloves are for bag and pad work outs.

They do right up on me, but I have thin hands. They get the work done, but I do have to wear regular gloves underneath so that the movement of the gloves don't bother me througout the workout. Hope that helps.

The gloves feel heavy but not because of padding. I would only use them for weight lifting.

They are better than Ove Gloves. They resist higher temps and the grips are better.

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 Have big hands and the medium are not too small. Buy the same size as youre gloves. but remember that they hurt when you lift heavy weights

I would not recommend this pair of gloves. Elastic band comes across the palm of your hand and hurts when lifting or doing pullups. I would recommend a full pair of workout gloves.
