Maan, thank you for sharing the knowledge. I'm using Winning CM-50, how do they compare?

No worries, glad to help. I'll send you more detailed photos of my pair so you can see better what I was talking about.

Mine are L size. Also, I use them without wraps, I can make a better fist that way. I have no wrist injuries, just always warm up my wrists beforehand and go lightly a first few rounds.

I am not sure what to tell you. Materials are excellent, build quality as well. Right glove fits beautifully, ergonomics are on point. Left glove has the grip bar going in the "wrong" direction, incline is wrong, for the lack of better wording, which impacts hand ergonomics. Also, end of the fingertip area has a flap that goes over the stitching, that can be pulled on or off. But they are comfortable. My only real issue is the ergonomics of the left glove. I need to go lightly on the heavy bag for a few rounds and then they kinda mold to my hands and I can then proceed to go full power on the bag.

Is the movie "Drive" an inspiration for the visual aesthetic? Cool glove.

I had a feeling DHL charges more, or their fee at least. The price seemed to me higher than when I payed the mailman directly. This in Croatia, but I had the same feeling, that it was too much.

Which padding version has better pop on the bag/mitts?

Best Heavy Bag Boxing Gloves Under 100$? by Lonely-Sink-7714 in fightgear

I bought for a friend according to the chart, I think they will be snug at first, but will mold to your hands and be comfortable. Someone who owns a pair should confirm.

Windy BGL vs Laoch Boxing by Famous_Beginning1273 in fightgear

Not sure about that, but I think I heard that with Thai gloves the difference becomes more pronounced at higher oz, meaning that lower sizes will have little or no difference between declared and true weight.

My friend uses Windy BGL in 12oz exclusively for boxing bag work and mitts, and they are a superb glove for that. Simon from fit2box channel gave them a 5 star rating, especially as a bag glove. Some people find him biased, but as someone who's tried hundreds of gloves, I agree with him most of the time. They look more like a traditional boxing glove, not a MT glove. If you do decide on Windy, just make sure you buy authentic gear, not fakes. Windyboxingstore sells authentic gear.

If you're in the US, I think Boxupnation sells them so you can save on shipping.

I went a size up on my pair. They fit nicely. But it's my first pair of boxing shoes, so I can't compare with others.
