I finally bought a heavy bag and these gloves to help me get into working out and I must say that these gloves are great! I love the color! Hot pink and black are my colors, so these go great with the black bag and stand and all my black and pink workout outfits :) The only thing I will say is that they had a very strong smell when I first received them. This has gone away a little, but is still there and actually leaves a smell to my hands after each workout, but that is easily washed away.
