    Hey guys, I was hoping someone would be able to help me. I'm looking for a pair of gloves I can use on the bags. I don't really need them for sparring because my gym keeps the good gloves in the store and keeps them clean but the bag gloves are mostly old, worn out and disgusting unless you are lucky to get one of the two good pairs.

    So I'm gonna buy myself a good pair. I'm looking at a few and I want you're guys opinions on them? Do you think they are good or a waste of money? and which one do you think is the best?

    I've narrowed it down a few pairs that look alright.

    and then these ones which I might just use for sparring and bag work.

    Ok ok, First becuase i used all 3 of them. Rival is my favorit brand especially for bag gloves. Rest are uncomfortable (top ten is OK) and look plain ugly also. Good enough?

    I've heard good things about them and they look to be pretty reasonably priced. Have you used those ones, I think there is another pair which look mostly the same but are dearer so I don't know.

    Really? They seem like more of an MMA brand and apparently they are good at first but wear out quickly.

    no , more the "spar version"

    I know thats the bag version and I am expecting a little less quality and youre right it is cheaper

    I think you can get rreal good deals on that one atm I would go for it


    Myself I like a good training / spar glove and to use it for everything

    thats what I'd do

    Obviously it depends matty. If you don't really need sparring gloves then you can buy those rival and sometime later buy sparring gloves slightly higher. Im 62-64kg so i can spar with 14oz so in my case ill just buy pro fight gloves which are 14oz which i can use for both bag and sparring but they obviously cost much more.

    Yea sure, well if you don't feel like spending much i just suggest buying the rivals and thats it. Saves you alot and they are very good
