I have go through a few pair of these glove over the year and they be well worth the money . once you go to a higher quality brand you probably will not go back to these , but they get the job do for a good price . I would not recommend they for spar because they be a bit hard and you spar partner might not be happy . these be good glove for bagwork , boxing cardio class , etc. . I still keep a pair in my bag but I make the switch to a higher price glove a while back and have not pull these out of the bag since . I just reread my review and while I say these glove be good but also say that I do not use they anymore , I guess my final point be that if you be a beginner to the sport , or be look for good bag glove , these will do you just fine .
