Meister Gel Armor stands for premium gear, with only the highest quality materials, design and fit. The Meister Gel Armor Bag Mitts are constructed from 100% authentic full-grain premium cowhide leather which is both extremely supple and durable. The integrated gel adds a high level of cushioning and comfort in addition to adding weight to the gloves for a true boxing workout feel. For bag work, target pad work or for sparring, you can slip these mitts on and off in seconds to minimize downtime in your workout without sacrificing protection. The mobile thumb also allows you to grip the wrist strap or other items unlike traditional boxing gloves. Also unlike many other bag mitts and bag gloves on the market, the Meister Gel Armor mitts are designed with an ideally curved wrist opening which naturally hugs the user's arm. Once you strap in with the elasticated oversized wrist strap, you will immediately notice the braced wrist support. Mesh and air holes on the palm and underside of the fingers allow for airflow to cool and reduce sweating in the hands. Truly a cut above, the Meister Gel Armor Mitts will make you never want to hit the heavy bag with anything else again. These mitts are designed to be worn WITHOUT HAND WRAPS - if you plan to wear wraps, order one size up.
