The grants are more narrow than the reyes, but still a lot of space between the knuckles and the fill.
I've worn a knuckle guard pretty comfortably - heck, I'm not sure the knuckle guard took up all the space.
I imagine you could wear a gauze wrap pretty easily.
I let someone borrow them the day i got them and they commented how hard the gloves were for sparring (leather's kinda hard, fill comes very firm out of the box and isn't that thick).
Depending on your goals for wearing 16oz, i personally don't feel the fill is enough and don't normally spar with them.
The wrist support makes you feel like you could punch a truck though - so i do like to break them out for bag work.
The interior's the same as the super bag glove.
Interesting that you mention Everlast - I hate their High Performance line (the ones everyone wears to the gym) but i remember the Professional training gloves being the most comfortable leather I ever tried. my only beef with them before was the fill and I believe they use a more advanced foam fill now; so I'm considering giving them a second look.
For everyday sparring I use my IMF 16z (which may be tight for a gauze wrap) and my new Top Tens (see my other review for these).
I'll bring the grants to a gym tomorrow to try them out again (on a bag) and update this thread if I've changed any of my opinions.
