Boba138 Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Hello all, I'm new here, so I hope I posted this in the correct forum I have a question about punching bag gloves: I've recently decided to get into boxing, so today I purchased a 30 kg punching bag.I was also looking for gloves to use while training, but all of the heavier gloves they had available in the store had a leather exterior. The only non-leather gloves they had where lighter, gel padded gloves. The man responsible for the boxing equipment in the store assured me these would be sufficient for a beginner, so I purchased these as well:http://www.domyos-fitness.com/EN/dc-aero-gloves-21193613/ The wrists are quite well protected, the tape at the bottom wraps around 2 to 3 times and the wrist feels well supported. It's mainly for the knuckles that I wonder if it gives sufficient protection against injury when hitting the bag; the gel padding is about 1.2 cm thick. Do any of you have any experience with these type of gloves? Are these sufficient for a beginner that doesn't hit very hard yet, or should I already wear a heavier type of glove with wrappings underneath? Thanks for any advice on this,kind regards,Maarten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Fission Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Never used gel gloves myself.I recommend just getting 16oz gloves bag work and/or sparring.Just search the internet for vinyl ones.That's what i do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.Hassett06 Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 I bought my gloves prior to becoming vegan, but id imagine Id just do an internet search when I need a new pair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peacefulwarrior Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Yeah I agree with the 16oz or even 14oz idea, I have ripped through many of pairs of gloves wasting on a heavy bag. The smaller gloves "bag gloves" used to make my knucles bleed after 30 mins of use! So do the 14 & 16 oz gloves but not till at least an hour of heavy hitting. And remember, most of the time you get what you pay for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
