I'll get the cons out of the way first: I've had the title gel bag gloves for about 8 months. First, they are absolutely not 20 oz. Mine are sized as regular, which MIGHT be 16 oz. gloves. I got two different stories from title four different times. Two people told me they were 20 oz. gloves and two told me that they are around 16 oz., but each pair varies slightly.
Second, they seem to wear out quickly. Although the gel lining is great, the first layer of foam seems to pull apart -- a problem that title is well-aware of. As I'm sparring, I have to try to move my hand around in the glove to get the foam out from between my fingers. According to the folks at title, these gloves should ideally last between a year and a year and a half. However, mine certainly feel short of a year.
Ok, these are the ONLY draw backs I've found. These gloves otherwise rock! I've been 100% satisfied with the gloves, despite the foam becoming displaced. They have great knuckle protection, very comfortable (until the foam separates), the wrist closures are awesome. (Of course, if you have small wrists like me, you'll probably find that the closures aren't snug unless you wear wraps.) Absolutely no breaking in period. They mold very well to your hands. And the vain part of me must say that they also look great.
BY THE WAY, even though I've had these gloves for eight plus months, title is sending me a new pair because of the problem with the foam. I do have to pay shipping, but that's a small price to pay for these gloves.
Again, GREAT GLOVES -- the most comfortable glove you'll ever put on. Looks great, feels great, protects very well. However, you might have to replace them in a year. As far as I'm concerned, the pros COMPLETELY outweigh the cons. Title is a GREAT company that stands behind its products. When they say 'satisfaction guaranteed,' they mean it.
