Actually I prefer handwrapping underneath bag gloves for heavy bag workouts. I use the gel gloves for speedbagging only. I have really dry skin that is very prone to chapping. Speedbagging bare-handed sometimes cuts my hands up pretty bad, especially in the winter. However, these gel gloves have solved that problem - they protect my hands well, and they feel great while using them.

If you decide to get a pair, buy them from walmart. Walmart sells the blue ones for about $15. They only have large and extra-large. The large fits me just fine. Dicks sporting goods sells the same glove in yellow for about $25 - they have sizes s,m,L,XL.

They are not designed to be used as heavy bag gloves. They are, however, awesome speedbag gloves.

personally, I find the "gel" strip on top of these gloves giggles and constantly shifts around as my hands change directions. I find that it very annoying. Plus they are a pain to get on and off. I much prefer the gel wraps over the full glove model.
Forunately, my hands don't need padding, but when I do glove up, (not often) it's with my personal fav, the harbinger classic glove.Speed Bag

I just do the basic rhythm, so my hands are not changing direction as much as with other speedbag routines. So the gel gigling around was not really an issue. I say "was" because I returned the gel wraps (I explain why in the Reviews section). Also, it never took me more than 30 seconds to take both gloves off of my hands. Just follow the guidlines for removing them.
The last thing I will say concerning this thread is that the everlast gel wraps are, in my opinion, great speedbag gloves for a basic speedbag workout. But to each his own.Last edited by riqal; 06-06-2008, 09:14 PM.

this is my first time posting because i got these awhile ago and had to give my opinion. i know everyone doesn't think the same but in my opinion these work extremely well with some draw backs. when i used them on my heavy bag i could hit the brick part of my bag and would int even feel it. however not everything lasts forever.... after 3 times of using it a rip developed in the right glove soon followed by the left. after 2 weeks the hole got so big the gel fell out.... also it does not give you the most wrist support.... overall good temporary gloves!

The gloves are probably fine if you have nothing and your knuckles are all bruised and stuff..... but the techniques of advanced bagging need to have "knuckle freedom"....
What about golf gloves, baseball gloves and all that... I have used those over the years as a drummer when my blood blisters ache and when my skin is separating like dirt in the sun after the water evaporates.. that hurts!
Thin gloves allow punching technique to continue without getting in the way and protect as well.. Alan Kahn has recommended Harbinger gloves..they are great....
