Side by Side Comparison of: Venum

For the price these are the best gloves that money can buy. The Shock absorption is good. The gloves fit with gel fast wraps on with wrapping also. These gloves are high quality great construction and i can hit very hard with these and still have incredible protection. These gloves even crush my UFC gloves that were 80 dollars. Great feel not too tight on the hands. Alot of other gloves get good reviews by people with baby hands and I have seen high rated gloves on here that were horrible. This is going to be a brand i will stick with for some time. There are gloves out there that are better but for a mid range priced glove this is the best out there, if were any better the company would be taking a loss on money. These guys know what they are doing. I have large hands because 6'0 196lbs and i can hit full force with these gloves no problem. I used the gloves today when they arrived on my porch and im blown away. Buy these gloves now, its worth ever cent

I love them, super high quality they look great and they feel great too,I've been using them for a few weeks now (with handwraps of-course) and to this day my hands look and feel fine, also i've been having sessions where I use all my punching power on the heavy bag and still they protected my hands from any unwanted pain.one thing I was afraid of is if the gloves would get scratches or lose their color, but no, they remained the same.they do live up to their price.

Started MMA 2 months ago. The gloves took about three weeks to completely break in, with three lessons a week plus hard bag hitting. Once they have broken in they were so comfortable. I try to clean it after every day I train, it hasn't smelled thus far. The breathability also helps as drying off the gloves. Gloves came in perfect conditions in original packaging. Great item!

My first time buying boxing gloves. Did a little research into what size I should get and as a 5'10" 165lb male I decided to go with 14oz. I'd probably go with 16oz now that I see them but that's my error. These are pretty solid and have good ventilation.

I've recently added a heavy bag routine to my workout and I was using the Everlast gloves that were included with my bag. Let me say this, there's a reason those gloves come "free" with the bag, it's because they absolutely suck. I didn't realize this until I picked up a pair of these beauties. I'll be honest, I picked these up because they were cheaper than a comparable pair of Everlast and WAY cheaper than the Title brand that my friends recommended, no disrespect to the pricier gloves, but I just didn't need them for 2-3 bag sessions a week... The Venum gloves have ample wrist support and fantastic shock absorption. I picked up my 14-ounce pair for around $48 bucks and I'll be honest I was pretty leery given how my hand felt after a 45 minute session with the bag in my old gloves from an Everlast brand that I "knew", these gloves have honestly changed how I work the bag. I can now hit the bag harder without fear of my wrist support not being there.The 14-ounce gloves fit me like a... well... glove. I'm 5'10" and about 165 lbs and I'd say my hands are on the larger side of "medium"... or the smaller side of "large" figures if you're a half empty or half full kind of person I guess.Just a few maintenance tips that I've picked up over the past few months of use:1. When you finish spray down the inside with a bit of Lysol (or knock-off) disinfectant2. Next stuff in a bit of newspaper to allow airflow to move through the gloves3. Don't stuff them into a nasty gym bag, let them air out in your garage or basement4. If you really want them to smell fresh you can go out and pick up a cheap bag of hamster cedar bedding, stuff two clean gym socks with the bedding, tie them off and then insert like the newspaper up there in step 2. That's a poor man's/woman's glove deodorizer right there (and what I use...)Cheers!

These gloves are super flashy and really make you look like a champ!! I loved the gold color. Not too bright or flashy like I was fearing. It has just the right amount of gold in it without looking silly. The breathability can be an issue for some people but I sweat profusely anyway even with breathable gloves. The strap on is easy to adjust and set. Makes the whole process of putting on gloves quick and easy. The padding is not the best on these but it is a great beginner to intermediate glove for a reasonable price. I've used these gloves for a month now and have had no issues with them!!

Venum in general has great quality gear for martial arts and I've always been a fan! Good materials and holds up well!

I mean, what can you say about hand wraps? They work to support your fist when hitting things. pretty much anything would do but these are actually meant to be used for this purpose, so with that in mind...I like them

Started MMA and got these along the Challenger Venum Gloves. Have lasted 2 months by far. Great fit, no complaints. I also got this as an Add-on item, so great price!

The hand wraps work great and look amazingly colorful as well. I use them frequently and switch out when they are washing.

Great wraps!! A great feel with great wrist protection. What could be better? I've used Everlast and Title hand wraps in my past but nome have even come close to being compared to these Venum wraps. Only difficulty with the white is blood will stain it but that's usually how things go with the color white and gloves.

Wore and washed these numerous times and they still look as if they're brand new! I bought the 4 meter ones for my tiny hands and they were just the right length to support my hands + wrist.

Have been training in martial arts for a little over ten years now so my review will be based off of what i already know. These gloves are not leather, which means they won't need as much care as real leather, water (sweat) won't damage them, don't stink (as quickly), aren't as high quality (leather is tough!) as "the real deal". Would not recommend if looking for a single pair for your whole career, HOWEVER, for someone who doesn't train every day/ most days these are perfect for casual boxing. Threw these bad boys on and punched the heavy bag for over 2 hours and the results are impressive. Not a single scratch was made to the glove. Keep in mind, every glove has a breaking point, but for the price on these venum challengers 2.0 I wasn't expecting them to pack a punch (pun intended). If i were to recommend these, my target audience would have to be beginners- intermediate fighters and/or casual gym goers.

Does the job, but compared to other gloves I have, it's a little thin in the fingertip area.

I have been using these guys for over a year now for my Muay Thai class and they have been great. The only downside is that they tend to run a little big, but overall great quality and affordable price.

Gloves are great! I had a pair & used them for over a year! It is time for a new pair! I accidentally ordered a size way to big for me & cannot get in contact with the seller to exchange for a smaller size! In order to return the gloves I have to lose $10.00 of what I paid which makes no sense to me at all....which of course loosing money on an order doesn't make anyone happy.

Upon joining a gymnasium I was actually given a pair of gloves free because of the membership, but something soon nagged at me. Whenever I practiced my punching in terms of boxing I felt like I wasn't doing the best that I could. It was just that, a feeling. Soon I looked into it, and it is true...the gloves can seriously affect the experience of the training or workout in the long term.These gloves are good for people who are intermediate skill, or those who are more serious about their training or even have a bit more money to spend in terms of the gear they use. You'll notice that the wrap around the wrist goes around completely, some cheaper gloves only go halfway. Getting that extra leverage with the wrists means you have the support for your strikes and you can hit harder without fear of hurting yourself.For those who want to get the most out of their experience, it is best to do a bit of research before buying gloves if you really decide to go down that path. The colour and style is also better than the stale black, if you're going to train or box..do it with some new age gloves. Depending on the size of your hands, they fit well with hand-wraps. You don't want it to be too tight, otherwise it will hurt and you won't train..just hurt yourself.The quality of the gloves will give you decent wear and tear without fear of buying another pair too soon. The sample pictures don't do the gloves justice, they look a bit better than you think and when you're using them you will get noticed.

Review updates at bottomPro:Durable buildGood wrist protectionSnug fit, they feel good when you put them onPriceThey make a really satisfying "pop"Con:Breathability (disinfect after workout)No padding on palm. Be careful with knees if you're a kickboxer, or buy the Elite series.UPDATE: As others have stated, the padding on these gloves is quite dense and sparring partners may not appreciate it. This can also cause some hand problems if you have a heavy strike. Not sure if this is because of the padding firmness or if they've worn out quickly. Definitely trying the Elite series next. Still recommend these gloves for beginners.

Very soft, comfortable wraps. Ample support if you wrap well. It's worth noting, though, that they're a little thin compared to, say, Everlast wrap, but the length compensates for this.

Works amazing often times I don't even put my gloves on just the wraps. Very soft and comfortable, would but again in a heartbeat.

Good for price. But kind of thin material compared to ever last ones

I like them a lot only down side for me is there a bit shorter than I thought

Not very breathable and kind of thin, but great for padding for heavy bag. Overall decent wrap kind of on the expensive side, you can buy better wraps for around 4$ but still quality product very useful very happy with the performance.

I've never been let down by Venum, but I wasn't the biggest fan of these wraps. Don't get me wrong; they're pretty good hand wraps, but thinner than I would have liked.

Love the look, but they are already starting to rip on the inside.

Gloves did not last long. didn't fit my medium/large sized hands very well either. Quite disappointed with venum as I thought they were a decent brand I've had these gloves for less than two months and the right one split the foam between my knuckles and the knuckles in the middle of my finger. Doesn't make it hard of my hands but punches don't land as well now.

Gloves seem like they're made quality and have great padding. I personally, do not like them do to the size of the glove. My previous 16 oz., Torque, gloves fit perfectly. These gloves are more bulky along the wrist and creep up the forearm quite a bit. I'm 5'7 with a 30" reach, if that gives you a comparison. I will still use them as back up gloves.

Had these for 6-8 months I literally started boxing with them and I go 3 days s week and sometimes more and the foam inside is starting to come out they are really good beginner gloves but i would suggest boxing first using the gyms gloves first and seeing if you like boxing and 3 months in buy your own pair, there is no wear and tear outside its all inside

Not a great fit. I'm a woman with average sized hands and I can put my hands all the way in because the thumb part of it is too far away. Not sure how else to describe this. The quality looks ok for a 40 dollar glove. The 16 oz one has a nice weight to it.

I love Venum products, great padding and wrist support. But these gloves started to peel in multiple areas after 5-6 months of use. Used for sparing and pad work twice a week. The seller completely refunded me. I bought a better quality of Venum gloves. These are good for a beginner or light useage. Otherwise spend a little more money on a glove that is a step above these

These wraps are decent but the fabric started wearing (threads loose & looking worn) out after about 3 or 4 workouts. They're thin and they don't hold elasticity. I don't feel like my hands are super protected when I wear this so I stay away from sparring or intense bag work.I do kickboxing workouts 2-3 times per week. For the money it'll get the job done if you don't use them every single workout. Invest in higher end wraps for the heavier/more intense stuff.

The wrap it is just ok. The Ringside Mexican style wrap are much better. I own both and definitely the Ringside are better quality. This Venum are narrower that the ringside. Ringside are wider and they feel better on the hand. Venum do not stretch as much, and the edges look unfinished , some threads coming out. Anyway. They do the work

Consider the price I can't complain too much, but these hand wraps are way too thin. It hurts pretty bad when I use them in the gym punching the sand bag.

They arrived promptly which I really appreciated, but the colors already started faded after my first use. I was hoping the price would reflect the quality of the design.

Not much of a stretch to 'em. I had to stop and re-wrap twice during a 2-hour class because they kept getting lose enough that a loop or two would fall off and I tend to wrap tighter than I should.

I just got them and noticed that they weren't as stretchy as my other wraps that I have. I had my other ones I think for 4+ years and I cant even tell what kind they were I've worn them so much. I figured in MMA gear, you typically get what you pay for but these were not the case. I would have expected that it'd be great since it was made by a reputable company like Venum.Velcro stitching looks weak so we'll see how long it holds up. Again, like I said before, the wraps are not as stretch so there is not much give. Maybe i'll trade up to 'busa's. Time will tell.

Okay gloves. Inside started to come apart on me after 2 months...everlast is much better, hense the name!

Honestly I was really excited about these at first they seemed great but however after using them for awhile the inner lining of the gloves tore. Now I can hardly get my hands in without getting caught on threads and the padding is falling apart. Extremely disipointed in venum.

I first bought these for the price and reviews on them but once i got them i regretted it right away tge material was fake leather but im sure it saif that but the padding did not cover my hands completely with tge 16 oz gloves specificaly my finger tips were unpadded and worst of all they charged me 7 dollars to return them so with that being said i would never recomend venum gloves to anyone i know at the gym.

I've had these gloves for 2 months and the stitching is coming unsewn on the left glove near the fingertip.

After 6 months, the Velcro is worn out on my left glove....it's a pain because I have to stop to fix my glove very often.

Alright gloves but after 3 months the velcro on the right glove stopped working. It took almost 2 weeks for them to get back to me about this and they said they cannot exchange the defective one. I've had REV gear gloves that where much cheaper than these that lasted me 2 years and my triumph tie up ones are still going strong after 3. Buy with caution as they do not have a very good warranty. Better yet there's plenty of other brands that are just as good or better and offer better warranty for a product that takes a lot of punishment.*Edit, just to be clear. I train Muay Thai with 3 years experience

Nope....

These broke (velcro ripped off the wrap) after a couple uses. They're slightly elasticized. My bf had the same ones from last year, but apparently these have gone down drastically in terms of quality. We'll get Everlast to replace these.

I honestly didn't like these wraps much compared to the Meister ones that I normally use. These got really scrunchy and weird after only one use. I would not buy another set of hand wraps from Venum.

The stitching at holds the Velcro to the wrap started to come undone on both hand wraps after only the second use. Other than that they're ok. But will probably try another brand next time

Not very good quality. The Velcro fasteners are already ripping away from the wraps. Stitching is very poor quality.

The velcro absolutely suck's on these. Mine were already damage and coming unstuck before I even put them on. Nice looking wraps buy What are wraps good for if you don't have velcro to keep them tight. Disappointed with this product.

I liked the gloves BUT I have only had them 3 months and they started ripping inside. I use them about 3times a week and am so disappointed!!!

I got these gloves and they came with rips and holes. I called and asked if I could return or replace them and I was told I couldn't. So I decided I would just try and make them work. After hitting the heavy bag for about 20 minutes the pictures show what they look like. I'm not here to tell you how to spend your money but I am here to tell you to save it. These things suck and customer service is even worse.

I'm actually super unhappy. These seemed to be great gloves, but two months in they're falling apart and the company said I have to talk to Amazon, and Amazon doesn't have a way to complain about it....so I'm here. DO NOT buy these.

far away from mentioned size

These are junk bought them for my boyfriend who trains muah Thai and mma. He trains 6 days a week. These barely lasted a month. The Velcro stopped sticking so the wrips strap just flops around which are now not even useable. I then spent $89 on a pair of Hayabusa gloves which are amazing they aren't cheap and don't make his hands smell. Infact with these he doesn't even have to wear hand wraps. Wish I would have spent the extra $40 and got the Hayabusa gloves in the first place. Hope this helps

after three weeks of use the sticthing on the inside began to unravel and im loosing foam now......

These hand wraps are terrible! The velcro is a small strap and the material is too flimsy which doesn't offer much support. I returned them and went with the RingSide brand as they give me the support I need for my wrists and hands.

Very Very then not worth the money not really stretchable would not buy again

Too small

Venum should really be embarrassed for producing this. These wraps are appealing to those that want extra long wraps, and I'm sure many customers by them, await with excitement, and are crushed when they see how thin the material is. I have another pair of wraps that are much shorter, but they give more support because they are NOT THIN AS A PAIR OF SILK UNDERWEAR. The pictures highlight this fact beautifully.

Super frustrating. The "Venum" patch for one of the two wraps was sewed on the wrong side; so the velcro and the patch don't allow you to wrap it around that hand properly (either velcro or patch is on wrong side; and obviously you can't finish the wrap if velcro is on the inside, so patch is always on wrong side).

When I get this product the velcro it was damaged, its a beautiful color, really, but the velcro ruined everything.
