I’ve never worn a pair of boxing gloves before, but I’ve got myself a punching bag to let off some steam, so these were perfect to go with it. The gloves smell like a children’s paddling pool when you first take them out of the bag, but the smell soon goes away so isn’t an issue. The gloves have a faux leather exterior which has a smooth texture and matte finish. They have a black and gold design to them along with the words “Evo” in a glossy design which looks quite striking. The palm area has mesh detailing which allows for ventilation, so your hands don’t sweat as much. Placing your hands in to them and straight away, they feel snug and well supported. When punching the bag, you feel protected, and your hands stay in a good position. They absorb the impact well and long sessions on the bag still feel comfortable. There is a hand strap included with them, so you have everything you need in the pack. I love these gloves and it makes training on the bag more enjoyable…
