My current gloves served their purpose, 16oz standard bottom of the range Lonsdale gloves. Now things are getting more serious and my hands are getting more battered, it's time for me to invest in some new gloves.

They will be mostly for bags, pads and sparring, so need to be multi purpose.

It turns out that after working in an office for years, my hands are pretty weak and shit. They get hurt easy, especially now I'm punching correctly and harder, same for my wrist, it's fine now, but gets injured easily, so hand protection is my priority.

These are currently top of my list, the 14oz versions, they are leather and seem to give decent protection. I've tried on the 16oz versions, but they were massive, just too big and heavy. I'm hoping the smaller ones will be a but easier to work with.

Any advice on these, or suggestions on others?
