    I have a pair of white lace up everlast ones that I had spent 80 on and they're my favorite possession. I think the brand of gloves a person preffers depends on them though. My brother had a pair or Reyes that where 80 and they're his favorite possessions. Depends on if your looking for bag, sparring, or US boxing certified gloves to compete with though too.

    Both me and him use them for bag work and sparring. Comparded to my everylast gloves (which are listed as professianal fight gloves) and the simple 30 dollar everlast bag gloves, you can tell a huge difference in the compact of the hit (I have them as well). Neither have ever hurt my hand with proper form (sparring, mitts, or bag), but getting hit by the 30 dollar simple ones just feels like they dont form to your face and impact funny, so to speak... I dont know how to explain it. However, Id rather take a hit from the same guy wearin them vs my fighting gloves. My fight ones are 14, im almost positive you can get them in from 12's to 20's though. I've only had a few different gloves (Cleto Reyes, Ringside, and Everlast) and I've noticed the more I seem to spend the better quality they've been.

    i think reebok gloves are good for bagwork there 14oz but feel much lighter and are a brilliant fit and only cost £25

    A guy at my gym has a pair of the title gel ones. He says they're mad comfortable. Im sure the Reeboks are nice too though. I have no personal experience with them myself.

    Mine were about 40 euro's. I bought cheap ones but ended up spending more because I needed three pairs each year. I got these about a year ago, and they're still in good condition.

    Ronin, it's a kickboxing brand actually. I got them second hand, but they hadn't really been used. The guy couldn't crack an egg, and used them perhaps two or three times.
