VenumChallenger 2.0 Boxing Gloves

My son really likes them I even tried them on the heavy bag and they deal right like they belong on my hands the protection is great the wraps hold up they fit perfectly can really move with them I'm thinking about getting the off white venom ones!!!

I take a HIIT (high intensity interval training) boxing class twice a week. There is bag work but no sparring. I had been using the provided gloves and wraps but decided it was more hygienic to get my own so I was looking for inexpensive but quality gloves and warps. Several boxing blogs recommended Venum, and one specifically recommended the Challenger 2.0 for beginners. I use the 14 oz gloves (the "size" is based on your height and weight and how you will be using them not your hand size) because those are considered good for both bag work and sparring should I ever decide to do that.I've now been using these gloves for two weeks in conjunction with the Venum Kontact Gel Glove Wraps Venum "Kontact" Gel Glove Wraps, Black and the combination is great. The gloves are snug but not constricting and they feel very secure with the wraps on underneath them. I am able to close the large velcro closures easily and tightly (using my teeth to close my right hand after my left hand is already gloved).I was a little apprehensive when I first tried them on, though. They seemed very tight and my hands are what I would consider medium. This turned out to just be new product stiffness and they totally softened up during that first class. They are super comfy, much better than the class provided gloves.As for care, I wipe off the entire glove, inside and out, with anti-bacterial wipes after every class then lay them out in the sun with the velcro closures open. I do the same with the wraps I wear. I've read where you can put them in the freezer to destroy any lingering bacteria. I haven't tried that yet, but probably will when they are a few more weeks older.

I decided to try a different brand since all gloves I bought for my lesson program have proven to be of very mediocre quality and seem to run really small now for some reason. I really like these Venum gloves for the cushioning. I got the 14 oz. and I have plenty of room for my hands and wrists. The only thing I'm not crazy about is the color. I got the gold, thinking it would be more of a pewter, which is what shows up on the computer screen. However, the color is very GOLD. Like yellow gold. Other than that, I really like the gloves.

This is a great beginner glove. Feels solid and made with great material

Still breaking these in, so far so good. The one thing I don't like about these gloves is that the thumb part has like a small strap that doesn't allow you to move your thumb at all. I found that annoying so i cut the strap off to have the ability to grab my water container without having to completely take the gloves off.

Great fit, comfortable, good value for money

Super cute and good for sparring

Geniales súper cómodos tal como se ve en la foto
