everyone has told me that Reyes do not last long at all, they feel amazing and you can punch with them on but they are a Fight Glove not a training glove since the ware down so fast. I think the ones that get made in Mexico last longer though if you can get you're hands on them.
You want protection? Use Grant. I got their gloves for the bag and I'll never buy anything else. Well, at least if Grant doesn't go out of business. You get great protection for the hand and wrist, but they don't feel bulky. You really feel that you have good control on your punches. And that is perhaps an important but misundertood thing to protect your hands.
