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. 5 stars

First pair of boxing gloves, just wanted them to hit a heavy bag. They work great, good wrist support and padding for hitting the bag. Also easy to put on for just one person thanks to the velcro. Good purchase, product is well made. 5 stars

Thanks for all the reviews which convinced me to buy those gloves. I love the gloves: very well protective (knuckles, thumbs, and wrists) and very easy to put on and take off. They really "fit like a glove" for my small hands. I certainly will buy those gloves again.

I agree with many reviews saying those gloves are small for average-man hands. I used to have another Everlast sliding-in gloves with elastic bands, which were very inconvenient to put on, especially when wearing glove on the other hand.

I still use those gloves (in black). I bought another pair in blue. I alternate the pairs every other workout. I have been using them 3 days/week for 4 to 12 3-minute rounds with 30 seconds rest. They surely last long and protective. 5 stars

What's a good feature on these is the liner. Your wraps in conjunction with the fabric liner make for a dryer workout. These gloves do run small though. I have small hands for a guy & they were a snug fit. 4 stars

It's hard to go wrong with EVERLAST products.

If you are a woman ordering this product - a 14 is around a small-medium size and should fit most women. THESE RUN SMALL. ORDER LARGER THAN YOU NEED. 5 stars
