Very nice protection for heavy bags training. Nice grip also. There is one thing I have to say though - these gloves tend to run small, I mean, my hands are medium amongst Americans and I had to squeeze them into these gloves every time. I don't know what would happen to those who have bigger hands.
I own one pair of gloves of 12 OZ, i have to say that this gloves are more than great, and i'm not a fan, why i say this:
1) Best gloves this price (less than 35 bucks)
2) The material is very good, they will last very long
3) The color is durable, it doesn't scratch or get's decolored
4) They are very confortable, and they have swet technology (it means that even if you swet, they wont smell or stink)
5) Your hand is very protected (the fingers and the front part of the hand)
I was undecided about buying the 12 OZ, the 14 OZ or the 16 OZ, I went for the 12 Oz because for heavy bag practicing they are the best, Why?
Because your hands like the heavy bag are very harsh, they need better contact, if you have big gloves (16 OZ) there's a lot of space in the glove, and your fingers no matter if you have handwraps, are able to move inside, and that might cause you a broken finger or to get hurt) in the other. so the 12 OZ are PERFECT FOR HEAVY BAG.
In the other hand, if you want good gloves for sparring, then you need to buy the 14 OZ or even better 16 OZ gloves, because they will make you work more your hands and you'll gain speed, also no one will practice with you with smaller gloves, because the impact of smaller gloves is stronger as they have less material your hand impact will be more direct.
For heavy bag if you buy the 12 OZ gloves, depending on your hand strenght you probably won't need handwraps, because the gloves are very confortable as i mentioned before, and they will fit your hands perfectly.
HOW TO CHOSE A SIZE? i had trouble choosing the right size, because almost no one published a review about how to pick the right size so that's the first reazon why i wrote this.
1) If you are less than 5'4 Height go for the 12 to 10 OZ gloves for heavy bag, and for sparring go for the 14 OZ.
2) If you are less than 5'9 Height, but 5'5 or more, go for the 12 Oz for heavy bag and the 16 Oz for sparring.
3) If you are more than 5'9 Height for heavy bag use the 12 or the 14 Oz gloves depending ond how big or not are your hands, and for sparring the 16 Oz.
AGAINST, (this are excellent gloves to start boxing or having boxing initial classes, in case you have some time practicing you might want to pick more prof. gloves).
Enjoy them!!!
