This review is for the Grant Campeon Super Bag Gloves. These gloves are available in a regular, or large size and weigh in at 12oz. They are constructed of high quality grain leather in black and white with red trim, and have a well constructed hook and loop closure.
The first thing you notice about these gloves upon opening them, is just how lightweightthey feel. I had to double check the weight to be sure that they were, in fact, 12 ouncers. The reason behind them feeling so lightweight is the balanced distribution of padding material throughout the gloves. You'll swear that they feel like 10oz gloves in your hand!
The fit and finish on the gloves is top notch. Leather dyes and stitching are both done at a very high standard, and there were no visible defects. The velcro hook-and-loop closure is very sturdy and has elastic in it to get a good snug stretch fit- shiny grant label included.
Slipping the gloves on for the first time, or perhaps I should say forcing them on, can be a bit of a task as they are tight fom the factory. They should break in nicely over time, but this reviewer would still recommend moving to the large size if you have even slightly larger than average size hands. As expected from the initial feel, these gloves felt very light and well balanced while being
put through a good bag workout. The wrist closure is nice and tight and leaves you feeling confident to go all out. The gloves also dont get quite as moist inside fm a workout as some of the other that have been reviewed which is a nice side bonus.
As far as hand protection goes, they are quite good. There are better gloves out there for knuckle protection, but not many that offer the compact, balanced feel of this glove, and even fewer that fall into the same price category. These gloves can be had for a mere $49.99 from Grant's USA distributer Ringside.com right now, which is a terrific bargain in my estimation.
Overall, this is a solid workhorse bag glove that is not only well constructed and backed by an industry leader, but also lightweight, balanced, and protective. These rank high on my bag glove list, and certainly deserve consideration for the next time you or your gym needs some quality bag gloves.
