    Need some bag glove advice..

    Read all the reviews on the net..looked at all the gloves. However, your opinions mean more to me than those places. Anyways, currently had a pair of IMF tech bag gloves. Love them, but they are already coming apart after five months of use. Strange since most have them over a year or longer. Have been looking at Rival Ultra Bag Gloves, Fighting Sports Pro Bag gloves, and Hayabusa 10 oz. Anyone got any suggestions for a good quality leather bag glove under 100 bucks? I don't like Cleto by the way..Great punchers glove, but terrible hand protection in my opinion.

    I have had a pair of the Ringside Ultimate Classic bag gloves for 7 years. Holding up nicely although I don't use them every day. That said, It looks like Ringside doesn't sell that model any longer, at least I couldn't find them on the web site.

      I've got the Tuf-Wear Super Bag gloves and think they are awesome. Very high quality gloves. But I haven't put the hours on them yet to say how long they will last under constant use.

        I have a pair of Title Gel bag gloves. I think I got them for $59 on sale. I like them but if I was going to do it again I would have gotten something less expensive. I hit a water bag, I use wraps and I don't hit that hard... about anything would have worked fine for me.


        Tuf Wears are on sale for $29 bucks - cant go wrong.

            I am going to give some of these a test run...I own four sets of sparring gloves....grant, cleto (for sparring they are great not so much for bag work), IMF Tech sparring gloves, and TUF-Wear. I have not really had to buy bag gloves forever. The IMF's were the first bag gloves I had bought in over two and a half years. now you see why I buy few speed bags..I do have one from 7 to 11 though in sizings. Five is enough for me. Haha. I am going to check those campeon's out Toolbox. You have mentioned them a few times on here before. I would buy the title gel's but no particular title or ringside for me again for a while. I have had bad luck with both. It would of been superb had TUF-Wear put out a whole new ling of bag gloves. I sort of feel obligated to them since they have been around so long and I love their training gloves so very much. I actually used to sleep with them at night when I was a teenager. haha. Don't worry it was not that serious.

              Update. I tried to get the Grant's in a regular, but they were out. I went with the fighting sports brands because of the softness of the leather. Well boy did I make a mistake. First time the gloves were too small. I had to send them back. Already spent 20 bucks on shipping. Just got my second pair, which I upgraded to a tri-tech bag glove in white/black. Same problem. Velcro wouldn't strap tight enough around forearm, and the hand compartment was too big. I about broke my wrist throwing a simple left hook.I have decided to search down and find a company that still carries the old TUF wear super bag gloves in a size medium. I would go for the new TUF gloves, but I have had no luck buying gloves by ounces. I have small wide hands. Totally bummed out though now. All titles bad glove sizing advice cost me was 25 dollars in shipping and a near broken wrist.

                Hannibal, have you thought about hand wraps? Getting the right size won't be an issue. It takes a little longer to put them on than gloves, but they'll provide a good fit once you figure out a good wrapping technique for your hands.

                  Been boxing in some form since I was 7 years of age. I always wrap my hands. I used to use the old cotton wraps until about five years ago. Just preferred them. Recently switched to mexican wraps though. Own about 18 pair. I just have difficult hands. I have small wide punchers knuckles. Always been a nightmare finding the appropriate gloves since they started with the selling by oz size. I just want a darn regular. Seems companies are set though on switching over to a universal system rather than the sizing format they had used for ever.
