I buy these glove for heavy bag training and Krav Maga . they be excellent ! it will take a couple hour on the bag to ` break they in ' just because the outside material will be tight be new . the padding be enough to protect the hand no matter how hard you hit , as well as for light sparring . only con be that you hand will heat up quickly in these unless you take they off every so often . I would recommend not tighten the velcro all the way unless you be seriously fight or spare .
