These gloves fit like a dream come true and they smell good too. I bought the black/grey 14 ounce leather gloves (I wish they made 16 oz). Your hand slides into a natural fist, the glove is molded to your hand unlike most other gloves...there is no resistance to making a fist, therefore your hands don't get tired before you do. The hook & loop wrist straps takes a little getting use to, the two per glove straps have a 15 degree angle that really hold your wrist together as firm as you want them to be. Be advised, you will need a helping hand to strap the second glove on. At first I thought the wrists themselves were a bit cheesey (like too thin) until you wrap the straps over them then you quickly forget about that. You need to use hand-wraps under these gloves but that probably goes w/o saying as most folks here do use hand-wraps, like I said, I wish they made these in 16 oz, the padding over the knucks may seem light for heavy hitters but the hand-wraps help alot.
These gloves are wicked fast, feel good, look good and as already mentioned; smell good. Best of all they seem to hold up well. The price with shipping comes close to a C-note which would have kept me from buying them had it not been for a $50 gift certificate I had but I'm glad I got them now that I can test them myself. All-in-all these are top of the line gloves in my opinion and like Wilt Chamberlain said, "I've had many".;)
