Reddit mentions: The best boxing training gloves

So first you want to talk to boxers that have tried other gloves. I've tried a lot of different gloves. But then you want to go into like... the nitty gritty of 'what is the glove for?'

The biggest thing is if you are actually training (that means REAL training like... 3 hours a day for 4-6 days a week hardcore) you will need a bag glove, and a sparring glove. Because in a month or two even the nicest 'general purpose glove' will get it's foam compacted from hitting the bag and it will be dangerous for you to hit your sparring partner with.

Everlast gloves are... "ok" for only basic bag work and the BIG qualifier is that... once you start developing more muscle and punching power... those gloves, the ergonomics, the wrist protection etc, can actually cause a lot of hand problems and potential injuries. I have hayabusa tonkushu regenesis 16 oz gloves for bag work and even without hand-wraps I feel like the amount of wrist protection they offer I could never hurt myself throwing with them. With everlast gloves you BETTER wrap your hands if you're throwing hard. Because I can bend their wrist support with my pinky. But hayabusa's are like $130 and basically the best bag glove you can buy so... Assuming you're on a budget...

The things you look for in a bag glove: IMF tech and Gel padding are both great for bag gloves, multi-layer foam isn't bad either but gel is specifically something that is great on bag gloves and awful for sparring gloves because it's only purpose is not to soften the impact to the target but to evenly distribute the force through the glove to your hand.

So like the title gel world bag gloves are a great option, ringside's imf tech bag gloves are also great.

A BIG quality flag is going to be, normally you want to look for 100% cow-hide leather or just 100% leather, there's a few exceptions, Hayabusa's synthetic leather is the ONLY synthetic that's actually good. Don't believe any other marketing, with that they've actually done like tensile strength testing (how much force does it take to tear it) as well as like folding tests, it lasts longer than leather, where as every other companies synthetics are generally garbage unless they opt to tell you the results of the tensile strength tests and durability tests (they won't...) if you wanted to order hayabusa's leather it's probably more expensive per square foot than cow-hide leather anyway. Compared to the synthetic leather that other companies use which is... pennies.

The specific glove for bag gloves would be the Ringside Apex bag glove, it's the cheapest imf bag glove, it is synthetic leather, but assuming you're on a budget you can get them for sub $50 off of amazon. Up from that the title gel world bag gloves or the Triumph United Death star gloves are both ~$80 and they're both all leather I think personally you'll get slightly better padding from the gel bag gloves but better wrist support from the triumph united gloves, comfort is a wash between the two I think.

Sparring gloves: On a budget, like looking for a $50 glove the IMF sparring gloves https://www.amazon.com/Ringside-Sparring-Elastic-Boxing-16-Ounce/dp/B000NZKFL6

Would be your entry level sparring glove, just... very solid, very reliable. And very cheap for an all leather glove. One thing with this is you have to do a bit of bagwork on these, hard bagwork, to break in the IMF stuff. IMF is basically like... they make a space in the glove and inject foam (think of a calking gun sorta) into those spaces where they've designed to be like sealed foam padding areas. But once you break them in they're great.

The ultimate sparring glove would still be a winning 16 oz glove, it's the industry 'dream' glove. But they're like $300 and personally I will say that they charge far more for their brand and you can actually get BETTER (yes better than winning) gloves for cheaper. If you go onto the Sherdog forums there are a couple people doing custom gloves specifically top-boxer, a brilliant single man custom glove-maker that works out of pakistan.

LOTS of pro fighters comission a pair of his custom gloves... Why? Because the guy is a fucking wizard, he doesn't just make them with your designs / color choices... you send a scan of your hand to him measurements of your fingers and everything like that so he can custom design the hand compartment FOR your hands. He's even designed some gloves that fit snug for a veteran who was missing like 2 fingers on one hand and his index finger on his other hand. And by all accounts they worked brilliantly for him.

And it's like $150-160. Also if you've watched the recent embeddeds... maybe you've noticed Jon Jones' Top-Boxer gloves with "Jon Jones" On one glove and "LHW Champion" On the other those are top boxer's.

Cowboy Cerrone also has a pair, as does Conor Mcgregor, as do a lot of UFC athletes. Because they are actually custom TO YOU. They'll tend to actually be better than winning gloves. Which for $160 is a steal. Biggest downside with them would be that you have to wait for him to get to your order. You're ordering from a craftsman not a company. I've heard it's almost always like... 2 weeks to a month for him to finish and ship them then shipping is probably a week or two. But he might arguably be the best fight-gear craftsman in the world.

On the cheaper side but still more expensive than the $50 imf tech sparring gloves, I cannot recommend the triumph united death adder enough. John Wayne Parr uses them Joe Schilling uses them, Mark Hunt uses them.

Yes they are also sponsored by them, they're fucking good gloves. And they're way under-priced for how great they are.

They're a small form factor for sparring gloves at 16 oz, they feel like i'm wearing a 12-oz twins thai glove and yet my wrist and hand are super protected, the padding is fantastic. I only have the lace up (which by the way is fucking gorgeous looking) which is now $90, but this last weekend all of their death adders, hook and loop and lace up were $50. Which was a fucking STEAL, I actually bought their hook and loop just to try it out since I already had their lace up version.

Welcome to muay thai! I'm 26, female, 5'4", and have been training for approx. 3 years. I'm not an expert by any means but I've seen some things and met some great fighters! This is an amazing sport and it will teach you so much about yourself and what you can handle, both physically and mentally. So happy to see more women embracing it ! Just wanted to send a quick applause to you!

Regarding glove size, I'd advise you talk to your gym about the size they want their fighters to train with. Are you hitting heavy bags? Thai pads? Each other? A combination of all the above?
16 oz. is pretty commonly mandatory and I've found many gyms prefer this in the event you spar a lot since it involves the most amount of padding. I train with 14oz. My 2 girlfriends (both the same size and height as me) train with 12oz. We primarily do dutch style kickboxing, hit thai pads, and spar. If your gym is fine with any weight, then it's your preference as to how much bulk you feel you need. Don't worry, your hands will be pretty protected anywhere from 16-10oz. Slimmer weights then that and now you're getting into professional fight training level.

As far as glove brand...many muay thai people love Fairtex and Twins, which I'm sure you've seen. You can't go wrong with that brand - they're very solid options for you especially as a beginner. I happen to think their price point is pretty good as well! I have Raja (linked above), which I like, but I have really small hands and sometimes I feel that they float a little too much in my gloves. I would buy Raja again but I'd figure out some way to try them on first. Both of my friends have Superare (linked above) and they love their gloves. They are snug on your hands (again, we're all small like you), really well made, and a good price point. If I needed new gloves I'd absolutely consider these.

Venum is a nice brand - I have Venum shinguards - but I'm not sure how their gloves are. From my perspective Venum is definitely flashy and pushing their advertising, and maybe more focused on promoting their overall MMA gear versus boxing/muay thai. I've met people with Venum gloves and they seem happy enough with them. They also don't go out of their way to sing their praises. I'm not sure what brand of glove your gym is promoting. They could be a great option for you since they shouldn't want to promote poor gear to their fighters - is there a reason why you don't like them?

I find that I cannot train without hand wraps, so I'd advise that you get several wraps. They're not expensive. Ringside 180" wraps are my tried and true, and I've used several brands. There are many different ways to wrap your hands - my advice is to find a tutorial on youtube that focuses more on padding your knuckles than your wrists. You might find that with all the training your knuckles aren't used to that level of impact. It's normal, your hands won't break....sometimes adding a little extra gauze can help with the impact.

Drink water, listen to your instructor, and go kick some ass! Hopefully this helps you out. Happy to answer any other questions if they come up!

The real key to finding good gloves for cheap is that boxing gear is randomly marked down, I at least have gotten some ringside equipment on amazon for half price or less these last couple weeks. (imf pro style 8oz for $28 marked down from $67 and ringside headgear marked down to $11 from $67) Maybe you missed some end of the year overstock sales but really year round there are good options if you're on a budget. There is no reason you should have to buy crap equipment. Your only problem will be identifying what is quality or not so its good you're asking.

These are excellent 8oz for bagwork/mittwork. Really good padding, great wrist support but a tight fit. For me these are my favorite gloves I own and are kinda the gold standard to which I shop for other gloves now.

I don't own any RDX gloves but I was looking into getting these, can't beat that price.
http://rdxsports.com/product/authentic-rdx-leather-red-white-fight-boxing-gloves.html

same gloves on amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/RDX-Leather-Boxing-Gloves-Grappling/dp/B00F4A9K8Y/ref=sr_1_16?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1419914007&sr=1-16

Good brand, great reviews.
http://www.amazon.com/Training-Stand-Up-Boxing-Gloves-Marine/dp/B00BKPFJU0/ref=sr_1_77?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1420382962&sr=1-77&keywords=ringside+gloves

There are loads of options out there don't think that you have to buy a glove that costs X ammount. There are great quality gloves (and bad gloves) at all price points. General rule of thumb for me is that ringside is a safe bet but like any other major brand you're paying more for the brand. Stay away from Everlast gloves or any other glove company that makes gloves for casual boxers, you increase the chance of getting some toy feeling gloves. Also once you learn what gloves you like/wtb don't be afraid to search ebay for used.

Lastly if you are a first time buyer, don't be afraid of getting lace up gloves, they have better wrist support which both protects your wrist and feels better. You might need to get used to tying the laces or get help to tie them sometimes but its worth it, 9/10 hook and loop/velcrow gloves dont feel very good on the wrist IMO.

EDIT: Saw the gloves you linked. Don't get those, there are far better, those are like some of the worst you can get. In boxing gloves equipment its actually the brands you don't know that have higher quality per dollar generally. Read reviews and look for people that seem to know boxing/boxing gear.

EDIT2: I forgot to mention I own those gloves you linked as well so I know for a fact they don't feel great. (I've got the 12oz versions wrist feels flimsy and padding is stiff... they just feel cheap. not necessarily absolute garbage, I still use them sometimes and they're not the worst for the price but still they feel like half the glove you can get for just a little bit more. I feel like the $30-50 range is the sweet spot if you know what gloves to look for.

Before we get started, get some good handwraps!! Any of the Mexican Style 180 inch wraps.

Handwraps are a must. They do not absorb shock (that's the gloves' job), but they are the first line defense in keeping those little bones stabilized. Search youtube for handwrapping methods; there are many types and it's up to you on which you want to stick with.

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=mexican+style+handwraps

As for gloves in general; I wouldn't recommend any mexican style gloves (Cleto Reyes, Casanova, or just the label "Mexican-style" for generics) for beginners [unless they have padded versions, like Cleto Reyes Safetec (Pro fight/Training), Cleto Reyes Extra Padding (Sparring/Bag/Trainers)].

Basically, mexican-style gloves have their padding distributed differently (less on knuckle area), resulting in less overall hand protection, but allowing you to "feel your punch" more, which is definitely more fun and satisfying for some people.

This may not be optimal for beginners until punching technique is improved considerably.



1) Ring To Cage C17 2.0.

These gloves are actually inspired by Winning gloves (the long-time king of boxing gloves in fit/comfort/protection/durability). If you dig deep into the history on the Sherdog forums; it started in early 2013 by a user sending his pair of Winning 16oz gloves to RingToCage to have cloned/copied. After multiple revisions, the end result was great. It even went into mass production.

While not an exact clone; it's damn near close in terms of comfort and shock absorption. I have multiple pairs of C17s and Winning, and I must say; for a glove that's about 80% similar to Winning for less than half the price; it's a must have.

http://www.amazon.com/Japanese-Style-Training-Boxing-Gloves/dp/B0143R1W7K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1450528257&sr=8-1&keywords=ring+to+cage+c17


2a) If you want 10oz Reyes pro fight gloves, go for the Cleto Reyes Safetec version. They are meant for training as well, and will last much longer.

I use them myself, to alternate with my Winning 10oz pro fight gloves (my favorite gloves of all time)

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=cleto+reyes+safetec

Just note that professional fight gloves are not made to last long. Bag/training gloves would be your best bet.


2b) Rival RB1 Ultra bag gloves. (The RB20/Elite are good too, but only available in 12oz/14oz)

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=rival+bag+gloves+ultra&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Arival+bag+gloves+ultra


2c) Ring To Cage C17 2.0 is also available in 12oz.

2d) Top Contender Amateur Competition gloves (10oz/12oz)

These are only $27 right now (the red 10oz), and they're pretty good for what you pay (I used to main them until I got my hands on Reyes-Safetc/Winning fight gloves). I am not sure if they will last as long as (or longer) than professional fight gloves, though. If I had to guess, due to the extra padding which is required by Amateur boxing standards; they probably last longer.

http://www.amazon.com/Contender-Fight-Sports-Competition-12-Ounce/dp/B006CUF4BM/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1450529505&sr=8-4&keywords=amateur+competition+gloves

3) lol sorry, I don't have notable experience in this department.

4) Outslayer heavybags

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=outslayer+bag

These things are great. They are only stuffed with fabric, NO sandbags at all, so there will be little to no chance of the bottom getting rockhard like my Ringside Leather bag.

In general you don't want to use the same gloves for heavy bag work and for sparring because you will compress the material over time and risk injuring a partner. For heavy bag gloves I would go with 14-16oz for your size and as far as brand, a bit depends on your body type and preference.

Some people like harder gloves that have less give and others prefer ones that may be softer and less responsive but easier on your hands. Also, I would recommend that no matter which gloves you get, make sure they have adequate wrist support (thicker wrist straps made of leather instead of elastic and straps that double back will be the most secure).The brands you named all have quality gloves but there are two others I would recommend:

Title Gel Bag gloves $99:
These are fantastic gloves that will hold up and can take a beating. They have great wrist support and are really easy on your hands.

RDX Bag Gloves $69: These are a bit more dense and have a more snug fit but if you prefer harder gloves these are a good option. Wrist support is good and once you break them in they really form to your hands.

Cleto Reyes Extra Padding Leather Training Gloves

Managed to have someone bring me two pairs of these in 16oz in from Mexico at half the price about 3 months ago. If you're familiar with Cleto's you know that they have relatively small hand pockets and a break in period for your thumb to fit comfortably. These are definitely redesigned in that the pocket is bigger and is roomy enough for me to comfortably fit padded hand wraps inside with no discomfort from the get go. The thumb pocket is incredibly comfortable without any tightness around the base of your thumb and angled to form a fist much better reducing the risk of hurting your thumb with glancing strikes. The padding is very thick around the knuckles and slightly less firm than your traditional latex foam Cleto's. On my scale they weigh around 18.5 ounces. The wrist support is far less than the RETG1 as the hook and loop strap is a lot higher on the wrist and the cuff a bit shorter, but as a result has a nicer hand fit when strapped. I was pleased to find out they have the same pop if you buy the red ones, I noticed the black pair did not pop as much and I think it has to do with the acrylic leather paint that the reds have vs blacks being just dyed leather that is very soft.

I don't think anyone would complain about these in sparring as the latex foam is thicker and has nice give when pressed, your knuckles should not be going through it unless you're a super heavy and hard sparring and they're great when giving body hooks to those mean hard settled spots on a heavy bag.

I used Fighting for a long time. The 16oz Fightings I had were of very good quality and held up great, but eventually I decided they were just too wide and it was hard to split peoples' guards with them. There are some MMA companies making good gloves these days. I bought these about a month ago and they're awesome. Great padding for sparring, decent craftsmanship, great wrist support, and (my favorite part) they're nice and narrow.

Winning

Sabas

Sting

Rival

Ring to cage


These are the gloves I would buy in order of which ones I would prefer. I've used all but the Sabas in this list but they're definitely on my to purchase list, especially when they stop charging $50 to ship to Canada. I am sure you would be happy with any of the gloves in this list so it's up to you on which looks best to you, and for you to look at reviews and see which is makes the most sense for you. If you have the money go winning, but-make sure you are comitted to the sport, because otherwise it won't be worth it.

If you are new to the sport and are unsure if you are going to stick with it then you may as well go for something a bit cheaper like Fairtex or Title

If you have any questions about any of these gloves feel free to ask and I am sure I, or someone else here will give you an answer!

Happy I could help.

As a beginner I'd say my experience with Krav has been pretty good. I'm really enjoying my classes, and I really appreciate the practical aspects of it. I'm also taking TKD, mostly because my girlfriend is a blackbelt, and I'd like to eventually be able to spar with her in that. The reason I mention this, is that, while TKD is ok, I do not enjoy it nearly as much as Krav. Krav is practical, straight away. This works for me. Also, almost nothing translates from one art to the other. That's ok, and I'm sure there are some complementary things, but to me not much of either one directly helps the other, aside from just being able to move and control my body better.

The things that I've struggled with (am struggling with) the most are really just getting the basics down. Making sure my stance is always good, getting proper hip rotation. The videos and book mention these things, but it will take a bit of practice, and possibly someone watching you to see what you're doing to help work those things out. One of the other big things to work on is aggression-krav needs it. If you don't have at least two other people to drill with you can't really do aggression drills.

Aggression drills where I am usually go the following way:
One person starts out doing straight punches or similar on one pad, another individual will hit/push that person with their pad and place it for a specific attack/set of attacks, you'll punch/kick/knee/combination/etc that pad until you get hit again by someone else, you then switch to that target, rinse&repeat. This goes on full speed, full strength for about a minute or two. I know it sounds short, but it's extremely intense, and by the end my attacks are considerably weaker just due to wearing myself out.

Obviously you'd take turns rotating who was doing the attacking.

The other thing you really, really need a partner for is practicing all the choke defenses and blocks.

I think that everyone else has a point when they say you'll probably learn better when you practice with an instructor, but I don't see any reason you can't learn some on your own. Especially if you can do a seminar here or there, and then practice with other people during the rest of the year.

The gear I have (the gloves came with my package at my studio, though I bought an extra pair for my girlfriend), the two pads are just the same as the ones used in the studio, as well as in the book and the videos.

http://www.amazon.com/Krav-Leather-Grappling-Glove-Medium/dp/B005VZ4U14/ref=pd_sim_sbs_sg_1

http://www.amazon.com/Revgear-41002-Punch-Shield/dp/B005VY2N3C/ref=sr_1_fkmr2_1?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1332442792&sr=1-1-fkmr2

http://www.amazon.com/Revgear-KM305-Krav-Maga-Shield/dp/B005VY51ZO/ref=sr_1_2?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1332442838&sr=1-2

Again, it doesn't matter if it says revgear or krav maga alliance-it's the same product, different label as far as I can tell. These pads seem to be a lot tougher and better than the century ones I've played with, and much much better than anything everlast or the like. That said, this is just my personal observations of course. There may be places near you that sell a bunch of this gear, if not amazon at least has a good return policy, though there are dozens of sites that sell the same stuff.

Anyways, I've rambled long enough. If you had any questions still though, by all means ask.

Bring the following:

• Wraps - they probably sell them at your gym. Otherwise Pro Impact from Amazon is fine and cheap.
  
• T-shirt
  
• Shorts - above the knee or higher
  
• Sport bottle with water
  
• Towel
  
  Gym will provide gloves, but they will probably be a bit nasty.
  
  
  Later gear:
  
  
• Gloves
  
  
• KOFightgear - highest quality for the cheapest
  
• Ring2Cage Japanese gloves - great knockoffs of Winning gloves which are the best
  
• Fairtex / Top King / Twins - all great quality Thai brands
  
  
• Shins - whenever you start sparring. I have Top Kings. Any of the Thai brands are fine.
  
  
• Cup - I use a Lobloo, they make male and female cups.
  
  
• Mouthguard - I went custom, but have a Sisu as well
  
  
• Headgear - This one is a bit harder since it depends on head shape. I have had cheap ones from Amazon and currently have an expensive Winning one and the differences aren't that great.
  
  

I definitely recommend using hand wraps like [here] (http://www.amazon.com/TITLE-Boxing-Mexican-Style-Single/dp/B00115KZE4/ref=sr_1_3?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1425574555&sr=1-3&keywords=mexican-style+boxing+handwrap) I got mine at my boxing gym for $5, so you can definitely find it cheaper than the price listed on Amazon.

If your knuckles are really sensitive, add more wraps on that area! The videos I've seen suggest wrapping 4 times on the knuckles. I usually do like 6, and it's been helping a lot.

As for gloves, I'm still looking for a good pair. At the moment, I have [these] (http://www.amazon.com/TITLE-Classic-Boxing-Gloves-L/dp/B002KEXQWI/ref=sr_1_7?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1425574662&sr=1-7&keywords=title+boxing+classic+gloves) in 12 oz. For reference, I'm 5'2" and 110 lbs. I got them for ~$30 at my gym. I've read some reviews, and the general consensus seems to be that Century and Everest gloves aren't the best quality.

Best of luck!

For me, it would be these:

I've bought their 16oz. Challenger 2.0 gloves and a mouthpiece from them. I got the gloves for sub-$50 and I thought that for the price, they did the job well:

It is synthetic leather (although I believe the 3.0's should be actual leather, not 100% sure on that), but the material was able to hold its own quite well. Never had any issues with any of the stitching or velcro coming apart.

That being said, you can certainly find quality, genuine leather gloves from the more established Muay Thai brands such as Fairtex, Twins Special, and Top King (amazon links below) for fairly competitive prices (sub-$100). I would honestly go for one of those, unless you feel compelled to buy from Venum.

• Fairtex: https://amzn.com/B019UBRCLE
  
• Twins Special: https://amzn.com/B006QN882W
  
• Top King: https://amzn.com/B00LN093AO

1. i think this is awesome. the endorphins rush from completely annihilating yourself with conditioning feels great and while i'm completely inexperienced with depression, it can't hurt!
   
   
2. don't worry about being out of shape. i wish i had a video of my first class to level set and be like "see? at least you won't be THIS bad".
   
   
3. i really like these gloves for beginners. not too expensive but they're outside of "cheapo" territory. seem to hold up well and i've been punched with them a bunch so can attest that they're adequate for sparring :)
   
   good luck with everything man

I’d suggest 16oz gloves for training. I remember picking these up for around $50 almost 10 years ago. I used them for some sparring and mostly bag work. They protected my hands pretty well and got the job done. They didn’t last real long (less than a year) but they were fine while they lasted.

Get something inexpensive so you can understand what you want out of a pair of gloves. You may decide that you want less padding in the fist and style of a puncher’s glove suits you better. You may also find that you need more protection. In the end you’ll be more educated when you’re ready to buy a serious pair.

If you want something better quality, a lot of fighters are switching to Rival. I’ve personally never used Rival gloves but I’ve heard good things.

Any thoughts on TITLE Leather Training Gloves as first gloves?

For bag work and some sparring. The reviews are great and they are recommended in some 'best budget gloves' lists, should I get them?

Also what weight should I go for? I am 80kg/180cm or 175lbs/5'11" is 16oz okay?

I don't know if they are the same, but I have a pair of these. They are OK starter gloves IMO. Upside: Cheap, and they work for bags and mitts if you are punching properly and not too hard. Downsides: They have little in the form of wrist support and are relatively compressed in the knuckle. I replaced them with these which have a double-wrap around the wrist for extra support.

EDIT: Just to clarify, I have the Regenesis in 14oz.

I don't think those will have enough padding for use on a heavy bag. The gloves that marcosro posted are a very good pair for the price. (Way better than similarly priced Everlast gloves.) If you only want to get one pair of gloves, I'd recommend getting a 16oz pair of those as an "all-purpose" glove that you can use for mitwork, bagwork, and sparring. (16oz may seem big, but you won't want to use any less than 16oz for sparring.)

Alternatively, you could get "heavy bag gloves", which are lighter and have denser padding, but these would only be good for bag work. They also have less protection, so I do not recommend them over the Title training gloves that marcosro posted.

Edit: here's a link to a good pair: http://www.amazon.com/Boxing-Leather-Training-Gloves-12-Ounce/dp/B002XUJ9X4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1421341164&sr=8-1&keywords=title+leather+training+gloves

Actually local sports store usually carry the low-end style gloves. Everlast makes good gloves, but they're not the same ones you find in the store. If you want cheap and effective, I'd go with Title. I've got these and they've been good for me for the last half year.

I'm using RDX Elite gloves:

Real leather. They feel great, and have held up. Really good for the price point in my opinion.
