They have a LOT of different gloves in varying price ranges so you're pretty much gauranteed to find something that suits you... It's really personal taste in the end, but as a general rule, by the best gloves you can afford... If you only had $30 but could strech it out a few weeks and come up with $50 to $60 then do that....

I originally wanted some light gloves like that, but I heard a lot of arguements for buying heavier gloves 14oz to 16oz to train in to improve speed and endurance.... But having 16oz gloves for a while now, I would like to try a lighter pair of gloves for pad work as well...
So good luck!
