Pork Chop is on a distinguished road
made the mistake of buying a few pairs of these in different sizes when i first got them.
The finger holes were a bit too tight and would cut off circulation, cut them a little on certain pairs.
The wrist wrap would cut of circulation if i tried to actually wrap it tightly as well.
The straps on the back really don't do much - the finger holes are just as elastic, so nothing's really anchored in place.
Tried wrapping a mexican wrap over top of them for a while, and I think that cut off circulation as well.
The rubberish material on the palms falls apart real easy - tried to sneak in a set of pullups with them on and the whole palm came off (basically ruining the glove).
There's a bit too much extra material on the back of the wrist strap - cut those on most of the pairs.

Lately, my grant super bag gloves haven't been protecting my knuckles.
I first tried a cotton knuckle protective glove under a mexican wrap - cut off circulation and had a slight problem with the glove slipping too far up my knuckles to provide support when i would squeeze them into my glove.
Tonight I dug out one of my old yellow n blacks to give it a try and it was a perfect combination - the grant glove has a huge velcro strap which gives tons of wrist support and the everlast gel wraps did an awesome job of protecting my knuckles - even better than my earlier cotton knuckle guard + mexican hand wrap solution.
One glove at a time is not a huge hassle, especially if it breathes new life into my favorite bag gloves.
