IMAK Compression Active Gloves

Fingerless Compression Gloves with Extra Grip

The IMAK Compression Active Gloves are designed for people who want the mild warmth and hand support of a compression glove, with the added benefit of an anti-slip grip pattern across the fingers and palms. They are a practical choice for everyday tasks where dexterity matters but a little more traction is useful.

The soft, breathable cotton fabric provides mild compression around the hands while the open fingertips remain free for touchscreens, keyboards, tools, kitchen tasks and hobbies. The gloves are flexible rather than rigid, so they move with the hands instead of acting like a brace.

When the Active Gloves Make Sense

The Active Gloves are particularly useful when hand comfort and grip are equally important. The anti-slip surface can make handling smooth objects, gardening tools, kitchen items and household equipment feel more secure without covering the fingertips.

Active Gloves or Arthritis Gloves?

Both IMAK glove styles use breathable cotton, open fingertips and mild compression. Choose the Active Gloves when you want the added anti-slip pattern for grip. Choose the Arthritis Gloves when you want the simpler compression design and the wider X-Small to X-Large size range.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Active Gloves different from the IMAK Arthritis Gloves?

The main difference is the anti-slip pattern on the fingers and palms. Both styles provide mild compression and open fingertips, but the Active Gloves are better suited to tasks where extra traction is helpful.

Can I use a touchscreen while wearing them?

Yes. The fingertips remain uncovered, allowing direct contact with phones, tablets and other touchscreens.

Are the gloves rigid?

No. They are soft compression gloves and do not immobilise the hand or wrist.

What kind of activities are they useful for?

They can be useful for typing, gardening, cooking, crafts and general household tasks where you want mild compression without losing fingertip control.

How tight should they feel?

They should feel comfortably snug rather than painfully tight. Remove them and reassess the size if you notice numbness, tingling, marked colour change or increasing discomfort.

Do they provide medical-grade compression?

No. Brownmed describes them as providing mild compression for warmth and everyday comfort.

How do I choose the correct size?

Measure across the knuckles and compare the measurement with the Small, Medium and Large options shown above.

Can they replace a wrist or hand brace?

No. The gloves provide flexible compression rather than rigid support or immobilisation.

Can they be worn for longer periods?

They are designed for comfortable everyday wear, but comfort should guide use. Remove them if symptoms such as numbness, tingling or increasing discomfort develop.

Are the fingertips covered?

No. The fingerless design leaves the fingertips exposed for touch and fine-motor tasks.
