A good pair of boxing gloves is essential for sparring, martial arts training, and heavy bag workouts. The Ringside Apex Flash Sparring Gloves not only keep your hand protected, but add a little sizzle with “flash” styling.
These sparring-quality gloves are made with a special Injected Molded Foam process to create a single 2" layer of protective foam, giving your hand more protection and lasting longer than layered foam gloves. The synthetic leather shell is easy to clean. Note that the thumb is attached to the fingers for safety, so these gloves are really only meant for boxing. The breathable palm mesh and perforations help keep the gloves ventilated. The gloves also have grip bars to help you make a tight fist.
The gloves have hook and loop wrist wraps to keep your gloves in place and help provide wrist support. I found these gloves to have a snug fit, but they are perfect for my wife–be sure you get the right size. The 14 oz gloves are recommended for those up to 5’ 8" tall or who weigh less than 150 pounds; the 16 oz gloves are recommended for those taller than 5’ 8" or who weigh more than 150 pounds.
All in all, these are very nice gloves. The molded foam provides plenty of padding to absorb the shock from hard punches and the form helps you keep a tight fist. I really liked the flashy color scheme and my wife looks forward to using these gloves for a long time.
