    Anyone tried any of their training gloves? If so how do you like them?

    Also, different question, anyone use 16oz gloves when training on the heavy bag?

    The bag gloves (14oz 'Super Bag Gloves) were good when I first got them but they're worn out now. I got them in November and I train 5 or 6 days per week so they get alot of use, but I've been boxing for less than a year so I'm not really sure how long a pair should last. Maybe that's a good amount of time, maybe not.

    I've got Rival sparring gloves too and love them.

    I've had these Elite Bag Gloves for 1 year now, they cost me 90$, I didn't even use them for one year (because of injury) and the inside net is already tore... They are 12oz.

    I've always wondered how those gloves are.
    My gym-mate just got some of the 12oz sparring gloves with the short cuff (pretty sure he said they're 12s, they're tiny).
    They seem like a new school version of Ringside Ultimate Classics (high tech instead of old school) - but don't sound like they hold up well.
    How does a super bag glove crap out in under a year?
    I mean, I use glove dogs and rotate my gloves, so even my oldest gloves still look new-ish, but I still can't imagine it even with daily use.

    To be fair "Super Bag Glove" is one of their cheaper models. They also have Ultra and Elite which I should be better quality. The ones pictured above are their Elite Bag gloves but it sounds like they have issues too.

    I love their sparring gloves too. I use them pretty much every day I train and they've held up great but I've only had them since just before Christmas.
