Summary: poor choice
Comment: 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.

Summary: Great Pair of Gloves, Better Than Most of the Other MMA Gloves On the Market
Comment: 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.

Summary: Good glove, though light on padding..
Comment: 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.

Summary: Good for Wrist Support
Comment: 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.

Summary: Great workout gloves
Comment: I use these gloves for a kickboxing class and they are about the best I've found. Provide good wrist support and well made.
