I got my brother to buy me the 16 oz gloves as a birthday present. I use them 3-4x a week in sparring and kickboxing classes. I like how easy they are to get on and off with the wrap around velcro strap. I wear wraps underneath most of the time but on occasion in karate sparring they want you to get geared up quickly so these are great for that too. Highly recommend these to anyone looking for a great bargain.
