Combat Sports Pro Style MMA Gloves

I have a decent large hand but something about the fit of the bottom of their fingers is very uncomfortable, even when taped inside a little bit, so not sure whats going on there, plus there's a warning about cancer causing material? And you have to sweat in these things?If you're a serious mma person who needs to go quickly from grappling to pads and needs and mma style glove, i think spend the money for something better...if you want to just hit the heavy bag and workout, just get yourself a good pair of 16oz gloves, dont skimp, and try to look for something you can easily take off and put back on as that's really the only advantage to mma style glove is the additional dexterity...but 16 oz gloves are what you want if you're hitting the bag to protect that wrist and knuckles

I bought these gloves for my husband (he practices Krav Maga, he uses gloves for sparring & punching bags).We were thrilled to find a non-leather alternative to other gloves. They were comfortable on him & fit right(which is why it got 2 stars instead of 1), but after only 3 uses the seam on the side of his glove ripped (about the whole length of the glove).We can't find a way to return this item as it is not unused, but we weren't anticipating it being worn out after so few uses.

I have a love/hate relationship with these gloves--I want to love them, but they seem to hate me.A little about me: I'm 6'2", a solid 230 pounds, and I get up at the a**crack of dawn every day to workout so that I don't murder anyone, Mountain vs. Red Viper style, on my commute or at work.Part of this entails punching and kicking my heavy bag, whereby, in any given week, I throw an average of 2,400 punches (400 punches per workout, give or take). I trained in Muay Thai before it was cool (1999, natch), and my experiences then provided a loathing for bag gloves with the bar in the palm. Said bars are designed to prevent injury by artificially making your fist tighter. This comes at the cost of improving your grip strength, as the bar does not effectively develop the muscles necessary to make a really tight fist. Accordingly, if it's necessary to punch someone in the real world (hopefully it never will be), you'll have false confidence in how tightly your fist is packed, and you will very likely break your hand.Hence, I was excited about using these gloves for heavy bag work, given their minimalist 4 oz., ostensibly competition-worthy design. As of now, I've had these gloves for ~4 months, but due to the problems I've had with them, I've probably used them for a maximum of only 40 workouts, which equals ~16,000 punches. Here are my pros and cons.Pros:Price - I bought the XLs in blue for ~$20. That's a killer deal when shipped with Prime. If they had been $25, this would have been a 2-star review.Durability - They are much tougher than I expected them to be at this pricepoint; certainly more durable than the cheaper Everlast/Title gloves.Great wrist support - When cinched, the wristwrap portion provides enough support for me without the need for traditional wristwraps.Cons:Fit - The XLs are barely large enough for me to get my hands in with wristwraps on. Worse, the fingers on them are far too short for my hands, leaving around a 1/2-inch of skin exposed below my first knuckles. This meant that the exposed knuckles on my index and middle fingers were chewed up in very short order during my first workout.Sandpaper Insides? - I'm not sure what the interior material is--it feels like duck canvas--but forget about using these without something between your hands and this material. The second time I wore them, I tried to use them with bare skin in order to improve the striking angle slightly to keep some skin on my fingers. Not only did this not help the fitment issue, but the interior of the gloves abraded my knuckles. Bonus: I looked like I had hand leprosy (is that a thing?) for several days.I tried to remedy the fitment issues by several means, but ultimately the best setup is using some old mechanics gloves as a base layer with these. Other than stinking of old motor oil and (unrelated) blood, this was a pretty good solution for a while. Still, at around the 5,000 punch mark, I realized that this last con was kind of a dealbreaker:Padding Placement - Over time, the gloves' awkward fit caused most of the knuckle padding to shift to the top of my fist, leaving very little to absorb any of the force between my hands and the heavy bag. At this point, the only real benefit they provide is wrist protection. I'm tempted to simply use wristwraps with my mechanics gloves and jettison these altogether.In sum, if you have stumpier hands/fingers than I do (most people do), then these will probably work for you. I'm on the fence as to whether I recommend them for heavy bag work--it kind of depends on your body, your hands, and what you prefer. I can't say how they perform for actual MMA, as I don't practice Ju-Jitsu. It is easy to use a smartphone with them, though.All of that said, if you're serious about your bag work and maybe some light sparring, I highly recommend Fairtex's Bag Gloves, which cost 3x more than these, but are as good as it gets. Even so, I keep coming back to the Combat gloves because I like the way it feels to strike my heavy bag with a nearly bare fist. Keep in mind that this is simply shedding light on my pathology; it probably shouldn't be the factor that determines whether or not you buy them.

Shipped fast!Used them today for the first time, while doing bag work. Great fit for my hands, I'm 5'8 and walk at around 170. I got the 'regular' size and they fit great. Bag and pad work felt great while hitting. They're not hard like most professional gloves, actually very soft where you make contact at. Great for getting used to getting ready for pro fight. Also stayed on very good and gave me no problem grappling! Thanks!

according to other reviewers the "regular" size is big... I ordered the XL and they're small. with wraps I can barely cram my hands in. and once I do they don't cover the whole first finger joint so my knuckles are raw. I'm a big guy and have large hands, L or XL work gloves usually fit right. but these are just small. apart from the sizing, the quality seems high.

I bought these for my stepdad, I haven't given them to him yet.When they arrived I tried them on, just because why not?I am a female, and even for my hands, the regular size was small. My hands fit, but it was hard to get them in, and they also were tight, even for me.I just really hope they fit my stepdad.

The (N)Everlast MMA gloves I've been using for more than a year split at the seamsSo I got thisNot sure - the right hand's ok but the left's a bit offAnd after less than 5 minutes on the heavy bag, my knuckles started bruisingI've been hitting the bags for close to 10 yearsHave used boxing and bag glovesThey blue 20 pounds adidas sometimes gives problemsBut that's when I hit really hard for an hour or soMy hands are small but even with XL, the fit's snugAlso, the left padding seems a bit stiffYeah, it's thick but I suspect the stiffness causes the bruisingWill try and break it in and update.
