This was my second purchase from KarateDepot.com. Initially, I was going to request a RMA number to return Twins Elastic Thai Training Gloves because I did not like the wide elastic band that holds the gloves closed, I am use to a velcro strap. But my need/want for a great pair of training/sparring gloves for under $70.00 forced me to reconsider. Besides, my wrapped hands feel very snug&protected inside the gloves. I will update this posting after sessions on the heavy bag & sparring.   

These gloves are a great value. They are light-weight and the quality is superb. I checked other sites and I found that Karate Depot had the best price for a great name brand like Twins. I don't usually like elastic; when the gloves are new, it is quite difficult to squeeze your hands in and out of the gloves, especially if you have hand-wraps on. But, once I break these babies in, I am sure I will be fine.

All around, a great buy!
