Reebok Boxing Gloves, 16 oz

It does what it is meant to do.

Great product

These are great gloves for the price - well-padded protection and quality, secure stitching that should see them last a while. They have comfy, long wrist sleeves and the really chunky and long velcro wrist strap is nicely designed, making it easy to secure them on your own even with one glove already on - clumsy-proof!I have pretty large hands, and these 16oz ones fit snugly but ever-so-slightly tight - no doubt that will give a little with some wear, like breaking in new shoes. Brand new and out of the box, I found them just a little stiff and pinchy to clench the fist in - again, something definitely improves over time with use, as they're already more malleable after a couple of weeks.They come in a mesh and plastic holder which doubles up as a tidy-away / transport case.Great for casual punch bag training and a decent price for the name and quality. Great home gym essentials.

12oz was a good size for me, an adult male hand, although it was a little bit snug so if in doubt I would probably go up to 14.They feel very good, and with a bit of venting on the palms it seemed to be a good design, strong Velcro etc however I used them with my personal trainer and immediately I could tell that there just wasn’t sufficient padding around the knuckles and fist.Now I’m no boxer at all, my PT holds pads up and I punch them, and this is only my third week but these just aren’t protective enough for punching with any weight behind them. If you know you can’t put much power behind the punch whether age or injury, then these might work for you but if you consider yourself fit and able then buy a pair with extra padding.

The thing I like best is the fact that you don't need to use your teeth to tighten the laces.The Velcro makes the gloves nice and tight.Perfect for speed bag and punch bag work.Just don't punch anyone.

I got these as a way to get a little more active as I get older, and they are really nice to wear, very comfortable, very light, and they breathe so no sweaty hands!Paired up with this https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07Q8GCRCJ they are a great work out, I know real boxers are laughing at me now, I'm no Rocky, but the combination suits me it's helping hand-eye coordination and getting the heart and breathing elevated, so for me, it's having the desired effect!I really like how light these are, I remember a pair from school that felt like lead weights, sports equipment has clearly moved on light-years since I was a child!I simply cannot fault them, I'd be interested in what proper boxers think of them?

Firstly, sizing: I'm not sure what size hands the 12oz gloves are meant to fit, they're a tight fit on my large hands but still comfortable but they do fit my wife's smaller hands better. There's a lot of give in them and even my 14 year old daughter can wear them ok without them feeling too loose.The Reebok Boxing Gloves are good quality and look great on the outside with the stand out trim and shape. On the inside they feel very padded and comfortable. The gel inserts that are supposed to absorb shock do make them a bit bulkier but it works to improve comfort when punching (with a bag, at least). These are still best suited for light sparring and punch bag work, though.The gloves come in a nice re-usable bag to keep them in when not in use, which is a good bonus. They're well made, feel comfortable and look good, so top marks to Reebok.

This is a stylish set of boxing gloves, in a black and light grey colour, which bears the brand logo. The gloves are quite large... I had got them for my son, but the are still a little big for him, but I'm sure he will grow into them shortly. They are well padded to protect the hands whilst sparring or doing repetitions on a punch bag. There is a thick velcro band which is padded around the wrist also, to offer an extra layer of protection to the wrist.The gloves have a breathable palm, so the gloves are comfortable and slightly less sweaty to wear. The stitching is all strong and secure, so the material can withstand some amount of punishment.For the cheaper price, these are not too bad a quality, but they are more suited for amateur sparring and exercise purposes, rather than competition matches.
