Designed for use in the gym or dojo. The padding and design is optimally suited for sparring and some bag work. The wrist enclosure is hook and loop as opposed to lace, which makes it easier to take on and off. The padding itself is a shock-dispersing gel that is both thick and durable. This helps keep both the puncher and sparring partner safe during rounds. The foam in this glove is thicker than most professional fighting gloves.
