the item picture be inaccurate in case you be wonder . there be two main type of Everlast pro style training glove . one style be slightly larger and softer for beginner . if you want these , look for glove whose hook and loop velcro be the SAME color as the glove . the other style , feature in this review be for advanced striking and be smaller and more compact . these glove have a gray hook and loop or a color other than that of the glove -lrb- unless the glove itself be gray -rrb- . both glove weigh the exact same but the regular pro style glove have more room for hand wrap , and be usually a few buck more . I have progress from one glove to the next in a little under a year , and I would recommend start with the regular because its design to be safer .
