I work out 3 time a week be I do a mix of resistance training and cardio . I receive these glove early January and I be eager to try they out . they be okay at first and take some get use to . the leather be pretty stiff but after a few week the glove loosen up and thin out in the thicker padded area . on Feb 14 2001 , the stitching come undo on the right glove . so about 1.5 month of use and the glove be now fall apart . maybe you 'll have better luck but I would be cautious of buy these again .
