Per Manufacturer-

The bar has just been raised on training gloves!

New and exclusive Gel Enforced Lining™ and special multi-layered foam padding make these the most comfortable and most protective training gloves you have ever experienced. Gel lining delivers an unbeatable layer of custom form fit and impact resistance. All-leather cover with awesome hand compartment lining for cool, dry and comfortable wear round after round. Friends, once you try these you will not go back to regular training gloves again.

First Impression- When I pulled these gloves out of the box I could tell the quality was there. The color on them was excellent, and I just put one on to see the fit and it was great. I could not wait to try these out.

 Construction- Looking over the construction of these gloves I found it to be excellent. All of the stitching is very well done and double stitched in all the right areas. The leather on these gloves is not to thick, but also not to thin and is not stretched to tight across the glove. It has most of the padding around the knuckles, and the cuff is nice and long. The gloves have a hook and loop closure, but use elastic to make the fit nice and tight. The cuff is also wider than most. These gloves feature a gel lining in them which is suppose to help absorb shock when hitting the bag or mitts. The logo on the hand compartment is screen printed on, but they do have a logo on the cuff which is inset into the leather and is made of a gel material. These gloves genuine leather are manufactured in China.

 Fit- I had heard great things about the fit of these gloves, and I can say everything I heard is true. These gloves have a great fit. The fit is nice and tight. These gloves  are very comfortable, and are not stiff so not a lot of break in is required. The inner lining is soft and keeps my hand fairly cool although there was not a lot of venting. However even with the lack of vent I did not find my hand to get overly sweaty. Making a fist in these is incredibly easy. I was a little worried about not being able to get the cuff tight enough due to it being elastic and me having smaller wrists, but this was not a problem. The thumb placement on these is good and allows your fist to feel very natural. The wrist support is actually very good in these. These gloves feel a little heavy, but they are right on in actual weight.

Mitts/Pads- I knew when I tried these on that they would work great when working the mitts/pads, and I was right. Since getting these gloves they have not only become my favorite gloves for mitt work but my favorite gloves for boxing. Now that does not mean thai boxing as the padding is a little different and the thai clinch in these gloves is not easy at all. These gloves provide plenty of shock absorption during workouts. Like I said before it is very easy to make a fist in these so my hands did not become fatigued at all.

Heavy Bag- While doing some heavy bag workouts I found these gloves to be excellent. For those of you who know I have been fighting a shoulder injury for sometime and with these gloves my shoulder did not get sore after the workout like with most gloves. Now typically with bag gloves you want them to be hard and that is how they absorb the impact, but these are the opposite and I think they work very well at absorbing the impact. I also did not find my hands to be very sore after some long workouts on the bag.

Sparring- These gloves worked great for sparring as well. Plenty of padding not only for dishing it out, but also for covering up. I mentioned earlier that these are not muay thai gloves and they do not work well for that, but that is not what they are designed for. When boxing they felt great. Plenty of padding around the fist and gel lining makes them that much more comfortable. I did not get any complaints about the padding from sparring partners. These gloves provided great wrist support, but I sometimes I would wrap them too far around my wrist which exposed some of the Velcro. It did not scratch up anyone too bad but that is something to mention.

Pros-

*Excellent Construction

*Fit

*Shock Absorption

Cons-

*Screen Printed Logo

*Could use more Ventilation

Overall- These are gloves that I would highly recommend checking out. With excellent construction and a solid fit these are some gloves that I am definitely glad to have in my collection. If you are in need of a new pair of boxing gloves I would say to definitely give these a look. They retail for about $70.
