Whats Gloves should I get for a Punching Bag?

I'm going to go against the posts above and say that you actually want the smallest gloves possible for a heavy bag. I'm talking about leather gardening gloves - that small. You want to use the bag to develop power, and you do that by strengthening every single connecting muscle fiber in your arms, wrists, etc. It will also teach you to use correct technique, because if you hit a proper heavy bag (proper as in a bag that is over 100lbs.) with bad technique with small gloves, your wrists will be broken. You will learn to lock your bones in the correct line, when to tense up at the very last split second before making impact. How to quickly move the bag with snap rather than push it, etc. Small gloves, not the ones with the most padding / protection. As close to a bare fist as you can get. Agree with interloper, the closest you can get to bare fists while avoiding pain. Padded heavy bag + full sized gloves = zero feedback. I use this type of thing: http://www.redsunacademy.com/images/Century/BoxingGloves/VinylBagGloves.jpg http://www.fitnessdestination.com/bag_gloves/images/4307.jpg Brands not that important because they're like $20, just buy new ones. Co-sign on these two posts .... unpadded gloves on a heavy bag or even a Muy thai bag is asking for wrist trouble and a visit to the Doctor. They just do not have enough wrist support, even when wearing wraps. The pair posted by Lebanon are good for speed bag IF you're not comfortable with working the SB with just wrapped hands.

Try Title brand Heavy Bag gloves ..... Here's a pair that I was using before I switched to Rival http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f106/lohman001/IMG_0372_zps3d521d33.jpg

Stay away from Everlast. I don't know if you have a special pair of Protex or something, but every pair of Everlast I've ever seen falls apart with 4-6 months. I always find Ringside to be a good balance between quality and price. I have this pair, and i agree they are crap. Falling apart quick and hurt my hands and i bought the 16 oz

Right on thats the kind of answer I was looking for and thank you Lebanon as well. Where can I find those types of gloves online though?

Fairtex are good for pads. Not overly expensive and durable. Thank you sorry for the late response just got off of work. I'll check them out.
