I bought these less than a year ago barely used them because I transitioned to sparring and use my sparring gloves on the bag now. I can’t use these for sparring but they are great bag gloves. They’re great if you like to hit with a lot of power particularly on hooks. They make a great pop sound and generate great power while protecting your hands and wrist with the straps and the D3o technology (motorcyclist protection science). They are white meaning they will get pretty dirty fast. I barely used these and they still got dirty where the palms are. If you can deal with that these are definitely great bag gloves. They’re tanks too.
