It's not everyday you say it's a pleasure to be punched but wearing these it really is. Everything about them feels quality, they look stylish, the finish is good and feel comfortable to wear and punch.As the wearer... I slide my hand into separate finger spaces with a mound to support my palm, the strap enables a firm fit and my wrist feels supported too.As the puncher... The matte finish means there's less slip and there's just a little give when punchedTo offer a buffer.These were bought for my sons Karate practice but we all had a go with them! We went for black but there a nice choice of colours and so good for the price!
