The construction and features on this glove are outstanding. For the price, I cant see anyone rivaling this glove. Wristwrap is elastic for a tight hold and the velcro is the STRONGEST we have ever ran into. Padding has a tough molded foam & gel pad, great for bags and mitt work. These gloves may be used for sparring, but after they broke in, some of my guys didnt enjoy "Hard" sparring on the receiving end. So I strictly sell these as bag/mitt gloves. Ventitlation is good with the mesh palm. This is my best selling glove. More people with this glove than any other at my gym. Last note, The 12 oz glove should be for small hands & females. I am an average sized person 5'10"/175 and the 12 oz was a little snug, and where the 16's were just right. (I dont have big hands!) Just a note on size before ordering.
