Good for the money

| I also bought these for a kickboxing glass. I first bought Everlast gel wrist wrap gloves and well almost three weeks later, my knuckles are slowly recovering. They were bloody and a fair amount of skin was taken off (it was pretty deep). The everlast gloves were too short to cover my knuckles, so unfortunately my knuckles were in contact the whole time. 3 min after starting to use them, I was in so much pain. The gym uses Harbinger ones that cost $68, money that I don't have being a student, so I settled on these for $45. I don't have fat hands by any means so the fingers fit well. Maybe the women below me has very petite hands and that's why they were no good, I believe I have average sized hands, so I'm fine. I don't think they're perfect, but I think they're good for the money spent, especially after the bloody causing Everlast gel ones! So if you don't want to spend a lot of money, I'd get these =) |
not enough padding

| I bought these gloves for a kickboxing class. I didn't want to wear the traditional bulky boxing gloves, and thought hand-wrap style would be more comfortable and allow more movement. I bought the women's small-blue/white. They were snug around the wrist, but within the fingers I had way too much movement (I wear a 5.5 ring size). During the first class, I only used them for maybe 10 minutes, and had to borrow the instructors gloves. We hit the bag pretty hard in her class, and my knuckles felt like they were going to explode. The inside of the gloves were very rough and caused blisters on the tops of my knuckles, probably because they were not tight enough. I wouldn't recommend these gloves. I returned mine and bought a pair of the women's Everlast Protex 2 on amazon, much better! |
wish I loved them

| I bought these gloves because my other ones were making my hands hot in the summer. These gloves made my nuckles swollen, and cut up my wrist. I returned them and went back to my original ones. |
