5 comments about Valeo GLBW Women's Leather Bag Gloves with Wrist Wraps.
- Great gloves, they provide great comfort as well as cushioning to my knuckles and my wrists. I would definetly reccomend them to anyone. They are actually better than full hand gloves, you can pick things up.
- I have to edit my review. In fact, if I could, I'd knock these down to 3 stars. Since writing my initial review, I have been having problems with bruising on one knuckle, and wrapping doesn't help. I had someone look at my gloves, and was told the padding is too hard. I compared the padding with their Harbinger gloves and it's a huge difference. The Harbinger's padding is much softer and forgiving. I went for price b/c I couldn't afford the better gloves, but now I'm sorry - I'm going to have to cough up the cash for the better ones after all and now I've wasted $27.99 on these.
I'm very happy with these gloves. They fit tight, with excellent wrist support. My only quibble with them is the seams in between the fingers - I end up with bruising every time. Of course, I should probably wrap my knuckles which would correct this.
I think one or two reviews mentioned their hands were stained after wearing these - I have not found that to be the case. My hands sweat a lot, and there has been no staining whatsoever from the gloves.
- These gloves are cute, but a a tight fit. I have small hands, and the medium is REALLY snug. The wrist wrap is good, allows for good support. This company was great to deal with, i originally bought a size small, but returned to get a size medium and they were cooperative and had good customer service.
- good gloves really protects hands and wrist check size the mediums fit a small hand
- I purchased the Valeo GLBW Women's Leather Bag Gloves with Wristswrap. These gloves are made of a very inferior grade of leather. I have only worn and used these glove twice and the leather is already peeling off. I can see the padding on one glove. I thought leather was suppose to be more durable. I would return them, but I have tried returning an item to Amazon.com before and I usually end up with nothing after all of the deductions. I am going the seriously rethink what I buy from Amazon.com in the future. If I am going to be stuck with a product, I would like it to last beyond 2 uses.

5 comments about Everlast Genuine Leather Speed Bag Gloves.
- I use these gloves for a water filled Heavy bag. The gloves do fine with my lite work out of 20 minutes, if you stay on the bag longer you may need 2 pairs.
Recommended
- As mentioned by other reviewers, these gloves offer little padding. This is not really a bad thing. Use a pair of wraps underneath these to provide some extra support.
The lack of padding gives you a good feel of impact. Your hands will hurt a little at first, but as you progress, this is not an issue.
- These gloves are totally worthless. They are thinner than oven mitts! A pair of these came free with my speed bag. I put them away so one of my kids won't use them by mistake and get hurt.
- They deserve 5 stars only if they didn't leave black stains on my red punching bag
- If you truly believe these gloves are too thin...then you've obviously been raised in todays society as the bunch of weeklings that the whole world is coming to. These are excellent gloves for the Seasoned Heavy/Speed bag enthusiast. Obviously NOT for beginners as apparently stated in others comments.

1 comments about Interval Workout Timer TMR03-G Grey: Boxing, Wrestling, Martial Arts, MMA, HIIT, Endurance, Strength, Fitness.
- The timer works as advertised. Pretty convenient in the fact that it can go up to 90 mins for training intervals. If you are planning to attach it to yourself, you may need to find a way to comfortably use it in that fashion. It would be nice if the volume of the tones could be increased or decreased in order to hear over music, outside noise, or indoor meditation practices. Otherwise, it is a good timer for various "interval" routines.

5 comments about Century Leather Wrap Bag Gloves Black (Black).
- I use these gloves for a kickboxing class and they are about the best I've found. Provide good wrist support and well made.
- These gloves are worth the money. I tried the cheaper gloves, but wound up trashing them and buying these instead. The wrist support is the feature I have to praise the most. It's comfortable and it makes your wrist feel more sturdy. The grip bar in the center palm of the glove takes some getting used to, but it's not intolerable.
- Overall, these gloves are good for light training, but after having used them for a while, I think I'm going to have to get some that have more robust padding in the knuckle area. The fit is very good, though as another reviewer notes, they are snug with hand wraps (which I like). The leather is a nice alternative to the vinyl and neoprene common in many bag gloves because it allows your hand to breathe. My only issue is that the padding over the knuckles is thin (1/4 inch foam), and now that it has been beaten down a little, I find I have some soreness even with hand wraps.
- A few months ago I started looking around for a good pair of mma gloves to use while working the heavybag and focus mitts and I tried out several different brands before choosing the Century gloves.
I found them to be a lot more comfortable to wear and although some of the other gloves had more padding on the knuckles, they felt to bulky and cumbersome to me. As soon as I put these gloves on I knew that I had found the right gloves for me. I was even more convinced the first time that I used them on my muay thai bag. The provided great protection as well as a bit more wrist support, even though I always wrap my hands with handwraps prior to hitting the bag.
If there is any downside to these gloves, I haven't found it yet. They have been very durable so far and I haven't seen any signs of wear on them as of yet, and I have been using them 3 times per week for ten 3 minute rounds per punching workout. The one thing that I would like to see, is an X-large or even XX-large pair of gloves that would more easily accommodate a larger hand and handwraps.
Other than that small criticism, I would highly recommend these gloves over some of the more expensive "brand name" mma gloves on the market.

- I was not pleased with my purchase. The gloves were not really a small, which I have had before, but more like a medium.They were poorly stiched at the right knuckle area and gave me a re-occuring blister/raw spot at that place.They also smelled so strongly of mothballs that I had to leave them outside in the garage for several days before I could even wear them. I ended up going to a store to try on and buy a pair of new gloves to use. I will not ever buy this product online again.

2 comments about Everlast Inflatable Punching Bag.
- We purchased this for our two boys (ages 7 and 11). They like it a lot. They use it for punching and kicking (they both take karate). The only problem with it is that the base where you fill in the water has started to leak (after 2 days). It apparently comes with a repair kit, which should have told us something about its durability I guess! We have yet to see if the repair will hold or not...
- I should have followed the advice of other recommendations. This punching bag seemed great the first couple of days, and my 10 year old loved it. However, in less than a week the bag deflated and was no longer usable after a couple of friends used it. Save your money and buy something a bit sturdier.

- these gloves are pretty good gloves, if you're wanting to get started in boxing or working out with heavy bags this is the way to go. they are very traditional yet slip on design.
- Just recently got them and they got here very fast. So far they seem to work very well. They can be a bit hard to get on if you are wearing hand wraps as well, but if someone else helps you put them on it works, and that is of no fault of the gloves.

5 comments about Everlast Family Training Set.
- Everlast family training set is so usefull.But there is sth which i dont like. the boxing gloves are so small. anyway I like it
- I bought this for my daughter. It is easy to use. this is a must have in a kid-friends gym.
- My kids got this for x-mas now when every they feel the need to "punch it out" they pick these up and they end up giving each other new striking moves its great
- My 6 year old wrestles and boxes with his dad and now he always says "wait, I have to get my battling gloves on!" and runs for this set, he just loves it! I got his dad a set and they thoroughly enjoy themselves! A great deal!
- My kids love the gloves, but the mitts are uncomfortable to wear. The finger dividers on the mitts press down between your fingers. I can't wear the mitts too long at a time.

1 comments about Adidas SM II Shoe White Black.
- I just got this shoes ($45 shipped)to replace my cheap TKD shoes that got worn out in 2 months of practice. I haven't tried more expensive Adidas TKD shoes, but this one does it for me. It's very light and comfortable. One strange thing was that I could not find any information about this shoes nor other Adidas TKD shoes on Adidas web site. It turned out that this particular shoes is made by some Korean company. I don't know how long it will last, but no complains so far.
