Everytime I get something new I post a review to help people make decisions.
I start with Ringside's bag gloves.

First thing I noticed is how well they are made. top notch stitching and quality leather. I hit the bag with bag gloves and of course spar with sparring gloves because you need both. These felt really good on my hands, felt comfortable right away and feel like they won't need much "breaking in" time.
I ordered the large because the mediums at my gym seemed too tight. The large are still a little tight at first and usually wear a knuckle pad with my wraps and had to take it off so the gloves fit better.
They have a nice bar in the middle of the palm that you can grip and it's made of leather I believe, not metal or anything like that. They also have a stop bar at the end of the tips of your fingers that I like, protecting the tips of your fingers. If any of you have sparred a lot, you know you can actually hurt your fingers by hitting the tips of them on someones head.
Overall very well made, good quality, stitching and look great in the balck. I give them a 5 out 5 stars because of the price range. For $59 you really can't go wrong, you could get better gloves for over $100 but these are excellent for the price. They only come in the 14oz size and make sure if you have medium to larg hands order the large.
I also ordered the Top Contender gym bag, here's my review.

First off the bag is made of tough nylon and looks good. The designs are a little too much for me but all I liked was the price and size of the bag.
First thing I noticed is it seems very tough and the stitching is very good. The nylon is high quality and seems like a bag that can last. It comes with a padded adjustable strap and rubber pads on the bottom for even more durability.
For $24 on special right now on ringside, you can't beat it. the only thing I don't like about it, it has two compartments. One at the top zipper, the main one and then on bottom it has a ventilated area where you can store stuff underneath it. It has two openings on each side, and I don't like it because it takes away from the main storage of the bag and reduces the initial size of it.
Plus if you store anything on the bottom, it is nice because it gets air for used equipment, but it's a little inconvenient to grab.
It also only has one side pocket which is large but I would have preferred two so I could separate different stuff I don't want sitting together, like personal items and then wraps or something like that.
I give it a 3.5 out of 5 stars, it's well made, good storage but a little inconvenient and only one side pocket. For the price of $24 it is worth the money when you compare to the $50 most other bags are asking for.
