16oz Fairtex or Twins. I would go for velcro fastening if you are you are training with a partner, it allows a much faster change over between gloves and pads.

Are you getting gloves for sparring or for bag work? What gym do you go to? - they should be able to give you advice on what you need to meet your goals.

Mick who runs the Wicker advised me to get 16oz, I use 16oz for classes and sparring. I have a pair of 18oz i use at the bag classses to help develop speed and strength.

16oz gloves for sparring. I wouldn't pay a lot of money if you have just started. They sell gloves at wicker camp if that's where you go. One of the instructors. Paul told me to get raja gloves. I have never heard of em myself but I trust paul when it comes to equipment he likes quality and hes as tight as a bears backside (gotta be careful got in bother for swearing on friday)
hope that helps. P.s Snorlax it wasn't me banging on about reyes!:hihi::hihi:
