Everlast Train Advanced MMA 7-Ounce Closed-Thumb Grappling/Training Gloves

The smell of protein leather is quite nasty at first, however, one day after boxing with, the smell dissolved. It is better than the boxing glove(more authentic when you punch).

First off, the Gray, red color is not as described, the red is more of a dark, maroon red, which i have no problem with. Just needed to clarify.Second, the sizes are big, S/M is more a M and the L/XL is more of an XL.Other than that, these gloves are very good for day to day sparring. Double stitching would be nice in high wear areas, but the overall construction and quality is more than adequate. The fit might seem awkward at first, very stiff, but if youve ever bought mma gloves before, you have to go a couple rounds with them before they start to get softer and conform to your hands. The wrist lock is a long strap that goes around your wrist twice, locking with 3 velcro strips, so the its gonna be a very secure fit.The cushioning is the reason i bought this glove over the 4oz ones that everlast also sells without the thumb protection. There is very thick pads in both the knuckles and the thumb. The back of the wrist is also very cushioned, making blocking with the back of your hands no sweat at all.Speaking of sweat, the lining of this glove uses a lining called "ever-fresh" which works, the glove does not smell after my matches, but than again, i clean my gloves anyways after i get home. I still recommend cleaning them, instead of leaving hem in a damp, dark, gym bag.the foam cushioning pads are going to be wider than your hands, which makes the fit seem very big, but as long as your fingers and thumbs line up well with the holes, its all good. I grapple and clinch with these with no problem at all.These gloves are a bit heavier than thumb less gloves, however, these do provide alot more cushioning and the added weight is pretty much negligible.I highly recommend this for the day to day fighter whether you do MMA or kickboxing, this is a affordable, high quality pair of gloves that will last quite a while as long as you take care of them.

Sizing: i bought S/M and they are more M which is exactly what I wanted (thanks for previous review about sizing).The good parts:Gloves quality is good,Gloves are comfortable, for both me, and the recieving face, they do not scratch an opponent, like my previous gloves From Green Hill.They are cheap.The bad parts are:They smell terrible with something toxic, i placed them outside the room cause it was impossible to brief when they are inside.Everlast sent me wrong color, it is neither Black(which I ordered) not Grey/Red which I did not ordered but amazon has in pictures. They are black and red, look ok.Warnings: Do not even think of using them as bag gloves (i know that some of u will try, but u was warned these are MMA/Grappling gloves not bag gloves).

I personally speak for myself, maybe someone will not like it, for example, I really liked it, it sits comfortably on my arm, I have the size of a boxing glove 12oz, so L / XL just came up, it doesn’t squeeze tight. The goods arrived during thank you I am satisfied with the goods and delivery.

i bought these for my young teenage daughter, who is now into boxing. the only gloves i had were my actual boxing gloves....too heavy for her to just train in, and learn to hit the heavy bag. they do the job of comfortably protecting her knuckles and the wrist strap if fairly long to wrap around more than once for added wrist support which is a must to keep from injuring them. no complaints, the are open finger, so they don't get too hot and are lightweight. i recommend them to anybody wanted light training gloves, for heavy bag or sparring.

Good! Bought it for my daughter at 11 years old. She’s 13.5 and still fits her great
