Would you recommend these gloves for kickboxing, muay thai style fighting?

From a style standpoint I don't know. I believe Muay Thai gloves are different, muay Thai has clinch work/grabbing and you may have to take that into consideration? . But from a quality standpoint, the Reyes are great. Beautiful gloves!

For training yes, but not for sparring or fighting. They don't have alot of padding to block head kicks and the padding is very soft. But they are GREAT gloves

If you're a medium you should be just fine. The gloves are a good fit without feeling snug.

If your concern is about your hands size. maybe you should try to buy a Macho Dyna or Pro Lightning hand gloves for sparring. Try an adult small size. What is your intend of use? heavy bag training or sparring?

I really don't think so. After getting these I am not all too impressed with them. They fit tighter than expected and knife points go right through them. They are kinda slippery like wool or mitten style gloves. I went with hexarmor gloves instead. They really protect from cuts and lacerations on a level that is highly above the competition. look up their site you will love the gloves. They take a little bit to break in but after having them for 6 months they hold up well to the abuse I put them through. Hope this helps

Yes, the gloves are designed to protect your hands from cuts. They work well for my husband.

You can. They wont hurt the bag and will protect your wrists and hands, BUT they wont last as long if you wear them alone, without bag gloves. So still use bag gloves if you can. Otherwise Yes, a cardio strike punching bag or anything else that was made to be punch/kicked for training should be fine to use with these if used properly.

These gloves should be fine. They fit snug so they do not move when doing Zumba or any other aerobic activity. The weighted part of the gloves is on top of the hands so you can still do push ups, hold other weights, etc. I am very happy with the gloves and I use them for walking/step workouts regularly.

I would say they are too bulky. My sister has different gloves, I think they are title weighted gloves. Hers are less bulky and may work but I don't think any of these weighted gloves are meant to wear inside real boxing gloves.

I haven't tried them with mma gloves, but they don't feel any thicker than regular wraps, so if you can wear wraps under mma gloves you should be able to wear these.

I have small hands and these fit perfect. What I learned when I started boxing is that the gloves are all about the same size but they are different weights. I have this pair and a 14oz pair. Both fit the same but the extra padding in the heavier pair slows me down and I don't care for it. As long as you properly wrap your hands before putting the gloves on you should be good with these. I love mine!

I personally bought them for mountain biking, they are light, breathable and have good knuckle protection. They do run a bit small so I recommend get them one size up; enjoy the ride.

As you can see from the pictures the glove material is medium thickness, with some compression. They offer some warmth and I believe would protect skin from accidentally bumping your hand lightly which might otherwise abrade your skin. No protection from heavy contact, the kind which would cause bruise. Definitely worth trying.

I use these gloves for speed bag & double end bag training. If you want to hit the heavy bag you should buy a size bigger than your normal size, so you can wrap your hands. These are good gloves but I personally use my boxing gloves when working out on the heavy bag. My kickboxing gloves don't allow me room to wrap my hands properly. You definitely want to protect your hands. Get the 180" hand wraps, these will be perfect to wrap your hands thoroughly. Everlast, or Meister MMA are really good wraps. I really like the Meister MMA. I am a female, normal size hands, at a little under 5'5". I would've ordered a size large in these kickboxing gloves to allow room to wrap my hands, if I knew, before I ordered these. Hope this helps. Good kickboxing gloves though.

As bag gloves, these would be awful. The weight is across the knuckles and would hurt. They work great for shadow boxing, however.

Hi Kathleen, My apologies for the late reply as it was a busy weekend! Mechanix compared to other gloves is mainly a matter of choice. They are priced well and they are durable.;-)

I use them for kickboxing and the are the standard size. I first had purchased the 8 Oz and they were too small. The 12 Oz are a perfect fit.

These aren't very well padded. I'm not sure about the men's, but if they are more padded, I would go with those. Really these gloves weren't very good.
