    Sorry guys, went in for a check up at the doctor's and ended up having to get a small heart surgery done. Should be able to exercise in a few weeks and get on a bag, then I'll let you guys know.

    They were like 170$.

    Bogotazo, you get a chance to use these yet mate? Curious to see how you found them, I was thinking of getting a pair myself

    Sorry, I have to get a small internal heart monitor under the skin implanted before I'm cleared to exercise again by my doctor. I'll put one up as soon as I can, I promise. So far all I can say is that the leather smells a bit, and without being broken in, it's really hard to make a closed fist, very stiff. But that doesn't say very much.

    Although it's been 3 years, out of a sense of duty, I shall give a review.

    The gloves were really stiff at first, but once broken in were fairly comfortable. I have small wrists but I don't feel any weakness hitting the bag or the mitts. There's definitely less overall protection for the hand, but it doesn't feel lacking. I'd recommend them and for anyone that has concerns about their knuckles, just pad a bit more. You can definitely feel your hand inside the glove more, which I tend to appreciate since I felt like my hand was becoming the glove in my 16oz triumph united gloves.

    How are they holding up now after 3 years? And can you describe your usage frequency, etc?

    I haven't used them that often so the 3 years is misleading. The gloves probably don't have more than 50 rounds on them on anything total. But I'm hoping to change that soon.

    The 12ozs are a tight fight if you're wearing wraps and don't have small hands. Take a while to break it. Great wrist support, great knuckle support, look beautiful. Hitting the heavy bag feels like punching a cloud etc. Only thing is theyre $200 w shipping.
