Some of the best gloves ive purchased worth every penny and they look great

I got these in 12oz and they have more than enough padding for sparring, they will protect your hands and they are overall very solid and highquality. I initially got fairtex bgv6 16oz gloves and they were simple too soft, flimsey, and large for comfortable sparring. I knew i needed smaller gloves that helped with endurance while still keeping sufficient padding. These gloves are that.
I love them for their small size, rigidity, good leather, light feel. If you want to get these for sparring go ahead because have enough padding for that. If you have large hands though this is not the glove for you. These gloves are all around training gloves.
WARNING: These have a quick break-in period, I INITIALLY put these on and was disappointed to find out they stopped blood circulation to my thumb, so I pulled on the tight areas of the glove and stretched the leather a little bit. Then I left them in my car and the next day they felt ok, but after my second time using them they fit me perfectly. Break-in periods are good because a glove that feels good right now might end up feeling loose down the road
If you are a beginner with small hands I recommend these even more. They are inexpensive, they have a lot of padding for heavy bag work and they offer added wrist protection due to its rigidity, but most importantly, they aren’t so damn heavy that punching feels sluggish and unnatural compared to punching without gloves. Trying to build proper form and whip into your punches is difficult when you are punching with heavy gloves. YOU ARENT GOING TO BE BUILDING PROPER FORM IF YOU ARE TIRED AND SLUGGISH. Go with lighter gloves with good padding that will be more forgiving and then get heaver ones after you know what proper form is. Then all you have to worry about is maintaining form. No one says this but you will punch differently if you are using heavier gloves. Heavy gloves are for muscular endurance, but a lighter glove will allow you to use proper form while still being a middle ground between bareknuckle and 16oz gloves.

I got these gloves about 10 months ago and probably use them 2-4 times a week, mostly for sparring.
When I first got them, they felt like custom-made pillows on my hands. Very comfortable, great fit, the Velcro wrap around the wrist fits snugly and stays secure. A bit big perhaps, but they are 16-oz gloves. They felt a bit more comfortable and flexible than the Fairtex gloves I’ve had before.
After 10 months of use, most of that fit and comfort has stayed. My one complaint is that the outer color/covering started to flake off a few months ago, especially around the thumb and along the seams. This is a cosmetic complaint, but it also didn’t happen with other brands of gloves I’ve had in the past. Doesn’t really seem to affect the overall functionality, though that may change, but it’s something to know about if you care about that sort of thing.
I don’t regret getting these gloves and I doubt you will either, but I’m not sure yet that I’ll get the same gloves again when these need replacing.

Thrilled with these gloves so far! I opted for these because I saw people recommending them on other sites for smaller hands. These fit perfectly snug on me with 180 inch wraps without being too tight anywhere. For reference I am a 5’6 ft, 135 lb. female. They are the exact fit I was hoping for because extra room in my gloves drives me crazy. The wrist support and padding on these are awesome. Before I was using cheaper gloves from Venum and Title that often led to very sore/tired forearms during and after an hour of practice. I haven’t experienced that pain since switching to these. These should help prevent hand/arm injuries and less discomfort when training hard. Love the longer muay thai cuff for extra wrist support and while catching kicks. The leather quality looks and feels great. Velcro is strong and seems like it will last a while. Even with the extra knuckle padding they have a very light feel, perfect for sparring. This concludes my happy rant on these gloves.

I really like them, comfortable, and well fitting which is what I was looking for and I have smaller hands, 5’8 125 lbs male. They also smell like a weird clay smell but I enjoy it so not an issue

Returned mine after trying them on, I have medium hands (5’10” 160lbs for reference) and these were very small. Without wraps they might have stretched out, but I wear wraps and there’s no way these would have been comfortable before excessive break in.
From the short time I had with them however, they seem like good gloves if they fit me. Very good stitching and build quality. Leather seems very nice as well.
Wrist support is crazy on these. I think there’s a piece of foam binding the wrist and back of hand because there was absolutely no backwards wrist bend.
The shape of these is also kinda funny, long cuff like Mexican style and the width of the glove tapers down to the wrist rather than a separate cuff, which probably relates to the wrist support foam I was talking about.
All in all seem great, I would try on someone else’s before purchasing to ensure a good fit.

Great protection with and without wraps. I like a tight glove fit and have average sized hands, although a bit thin.
