I own and have used this product. I love these, they look so cool and feel so comfortable, mine are red. The curve makes it easier to make a fist. They feel stiff when you get them, but just shadowbox with them and you'll break them in. I have sparred with my friends with these, padding is adequate, but sometimes my thumb gets jammed when I block. The inside feels comfortable to my hand, and I don't get a rash or anything, cause no leather irritates your skin. My hands are small, so I got the medium, the fit is just right. The wrist strap seems too short, but isn't, it still supports my wrist well enough. Great gloves. I would highly recommend them.
