Hi, I'm 21 boy (7" L x 3" W hand, 5.10" & 136 lbs), Full Contact casual training (3 days p/week) Heavy bag, sparring among other things. Is 12 oz ok?

I would get 14 oz. 12 oz is better for fitness training and puts let's stress on your hands. If you are doing sparring 14oz is the lowest I would recommend to start with.

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.

I say no. I purchased a bag because it was smaller. I consider myself as a medium man. Suggesting, I say no. I purchased a bag because it was smaller. I consider myself as a medium man. Suggesting, spend a little extra money get a better bet.

I used these for a Beginner class which was minimal hitting - no bag work and they were just fine. you may want something with more padding if you're going to spar/bag work.

Yeah you should have enough room; it all depends on what type of hits you want to train. That height should give you space enough to hang it so the bottom of the bag is at about knee-level

It goes by body weight of boxer. I am 210 lbs. so I want more than half my weight. Small dairy female get the small bag. Any male as he gains strength will start pushing the lighter bag around and you spend your time chasing the target. Useful for footwork, but a heavy bag is supposed to be HEAVY. Go big, you can always add less water.

Just go ahead either with 8 or 16 the heavier will just help build endurance and speed in your punches... I say 16 ;)

My son is 12, small/thin, about 5' and under 100 lbs. He takes a youth large.

Yes, this would be a good bag for the price. It is fully adjustable. Just don't pack too much weight in it, considering your son only weighs 80 lbs. When I used this pack, I had it filled with 55 lbs. of gear.

The gloves I received are for light heavybag training or mitt work. They're no more than 10oz. Also they are MMA style which has the exposed thumb. They are a large. Good gloves for a warm up mitt work session. Not really worth risking a fractured/broken thumb on heavybag though. Hope this helps!

I would say the shipping weight at 25lb is a mistake. This is a heavy-duty bag. It's great, but it gave me a hell of a workout just getting it hung up by myself.I would add it to your cart and see on checkout what the shipping charges are. Better yet, go for the Prime and save on that and a ton of other stuff. --William

My bag says 5lbs but it seemed light so I weighed it and it is 4lbs 12-3//8 ounces. I have added a product photo and i am returning the product.

I am 6' and 185 lbs. I fit comfortably in this bag. I think you will find it tight.

The 12 oz. would be the way to go. Not only because of having larger hands, but also as a beginner, I feel it will protect your knuckles better than lesser oz. gloves. Hope this helps.

This bag is very small. I t is exactly 12 wide and 8 inch in diameter. The bag can easily compress smaller though if you have a compression sack.

This bag is 16 oz. It's not small. I'd say the bag itself is about 24" by 12" and about 9" thick.

I bought the "large" bag for my 13 year old son - bantam major. It was a bit tight for all his gear, but worked. I think it would be really big for her.
