 Doesn't offer very much protection February 9, 2006

These gloves are well made leather gloves with an iron bar for good grip but they're very light and offer no support for the wrist or hand. In addition, the padding is very thin. I wouldn't recomend them for heavy bag or working with a trainer. They're probably fine for the speed bag.
If you're going to use these gloves, at the very least also get yourself a pair of hand wraps or, like me, you'll probably loose some skin from your knuckles.
For not very much more money, you can get gloves that offer significantly more protection.
 A necessity, everyone owns a pair, so why not you? September 15, 2004

I think anyone who works out on a heavy bag has these. They aren't really speed bag gloves, they are bag gloves. If you train as a boxer, you wrap your hands and use regular boxing gloves for most of your work, but these are for hitting things that don't hit back.
Because they offer minimal protection/padding, you use them on speed bags and heavy bags. There's no other way to train yourself to punch correctly unless you leanr to drive through the bag, and there's no way to teach your body to holds your hands correctly on punches unless you are forced to lock that wrist. Pain is instructive when you start out.
I can see pros and experienced amateurs just working exclusively with regular gloves (except for speed bags and the like), just to keep focused on realistic training. However, every single boxer started with a pair of these, and you will, too.
You will stink them up, the cheap seams will chafe your wrists, and somehow you'll never lose them. You may graduate to other gloves, but these will always be a reliable backup. No one steals them because everyone has their own smelly pair. A necessity.

These Speed Bag Gloves Stink... June 10, 2005
Anthony M. Meoli (Boxingman)

I have been hitting the speed bag for many years and have found that both TITLE and EVERLAST seriously "miss the boat" on speed bag gloves.
First, the main part of your hand that you use to hit the bag is the part you cannot see when you are hitting it - the meaty part near your pinky. What happens from repeated strikes is severe pain without proper wraps or gloves.
Both TITLE and EVERLAST do not include any real padding in this area on any of their gloves. They rely solely on the surrounding leather - holding the useless pads in place for your protection. Why they put a dumb piece of weighted material for you to smash you hand into the speed bag/heavy bag and then do not include proper padding - is beyond me.
ADVICE: Buy wraps/padding/gel wraps for under TITLE gloves. They make better speed bag gloves and do not utilize the old "quarters in my knuckles" method.
Additionally people - hit the speed bag low!!! I see too many people (men and women) at the gym hitting a speed bag that they can barely reach. It should be chin-high - and not much higher than that. Small circles with the arms always up.
Til next time,

There's one more thing you should know about this glove, it has a small metal bar handle in the middle for when you clench your fist, and trust me, the handling on this glove is a dream come true.
With softness, easy off and on, and grip, I would recommend this for your hands.
Your fist will thank you.

Same good quality Everlast product that I would have received if I purchased these gloves at the sporting goods store. And, much more convenient and time efficient. A pleasant experience.
