those aren't really meant to be used as gloves, they're more like wrap substitutes. They're great for introducing newbies to a class so you don't have to waste time wrapping their hands.

Speaking of wraps, I've found it's faster to wrap my hands with a pair of 2" ACE wraps in each than to try using one of those 180" long wraps. Also, I just got 10 rolls of those mexican wraps (120") for $10 from titleboxing.com.

They are very easy to wrap/unwrap, and give a very snuggy, safe feeling. Me like.

They work great for LIGHT bag work. 4 months on 1 pair so far. See I hate wrapping my hands old skool cuz I don't wear wraps when I grapple. The way we practice I go between the bags and the mat alot so I don't like taking the time to wrap and unwrap. For anything more than light work you simply put on a set of gloves over them.

No XL's by me, but I've already got enough mexican wraps to go around... I'm gonna go get some for my wife to hit the bags with....

Any bag gloves that fit would be fine. Wear wraps when you try them on. once you wear out a set of starter gloves you'll have a better idea what you want for your next buy.

glove question!

so (N)everlast lived up to their name and I need new mitts. before I click order on some century 16oz'ers, has anyone used heavy gloves before? I mean 18-20oz gloves. Wondering if the extra padding makes them last long enough to be worth the extra scratch.
