Customer Review: Easy, Quick, Comfortable
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
Firstly I have to say they are called Hand Wraps, not Gloves, for a reason. People using these as gloves make up the vast majority of negative reviews, which is a shame. As Hand Wraps these are intended to be worn beneath your gloves taking place of the original hand wraps, which you actually had to wrap around your hand. They are very quick to put on, quite comfortable, and offer a stiff wrist. Having used them every three days for the past two months I have no complaints, they are starting to break down a bit, but I use them quite heavily and they are on pace to last as long as old fashion wraps. I will be buying another set, they make it easy to get in a quick heavy bag routine.Customer Review: I like mine
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I agree, they do run small. Mine are XL and I only weigh 140. I use them for my speed bags, double end bag and free standing heavy bag which is not real hard or heavy. They do better than any other gloves for that.
Having punched at a lot of heavy bags, certainly heavy bags are not all the same, so for "real" heavy bags, go with a much fuller bag glove and not just these. They do take up a lot of space under bag gloves or sparring gloves.
I like the way the fingers are still free to use the medicine ball and weights and then go right back into hitting the bags.
Again, for harder heavy bags, go with complete bag gloves at about 12 to 16 oz.
Customer Review: Great Wraps

THESE ARE NOT GLOVES FOR HITTING A HEAVY BAG!!!!! I have read reviews that say that these aren't strong or well made for bag gloves...That's because these ARE NOT bag gloves, they are gel hand wraps. You use these for extra protection for your knuckles and wrists. You put these on and then you put your BAG GLOVES ON OVER THEM....sorry for repeating myself but I just want to clear. anyway great product if you use them correctly. You may need to buy your heavy bag gloves one size larger than your actual size so these fit under them. My wrists and knuckles feel great after a hard workout on the heavy bag much more support than classic hand wraps.Customer Review: excellent

I've been using these for a few years now for when i work on the bag. I've had no problems with them. Whether i used them for for my old wavemaster or my new B.O.B., they've held up quite nicely.Customer Review: Work well under boxing gloves
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
I got these wraps as part of an Everlast set that also included a pair of Everlast boxing gloves. I've only had them for two months and use them primarily under my gloves and on my Century Wavemaster boxing bag. They provide nice wrist support and are easy to get off and on. I see them holding up well in the future.
Since there is no mention of sizing on the package, I did an internet search for how to measure your hands to buy these gloves, and this is what I found:
To determine correct size, measure the distance across the lowest knuckles (the knuckles you punch with) of the 4 upper fingers (all the fingers except the thumb). Measure by laying knuckles flat on a ruler. How to measure your hand:
Size Measurement
Small 3" - 3 1/4"
Medium 3 1/4" - 3 1/2"
Large 3 1/2" - 3 3/4"
X-Large 3 7/8" +
Hopefully that helps you pick out the right size!
