I have the Twins Special (Black/White Tattoo Pattern) in 14oz. and they are absolutely great. I really like them. I also have the Fairtex 14oz. Training Gloves, and the Twins are a little bigger on the outside, but not enough to be noticable, unless you put them side by side. The cuffs are just slightly longer, than the Fairtex training gloves, but offer additional protection for taking kicks, and they have softer padding than the Fairtex. They are very well made, and the internal hand pockets are a nicer hand shaped fit than the Fairtex (IMHO). I went with the 14oz. in both brands for bag and mitt work, and you would be better served with the 16oz. for sparring, obviously. The 14's are definately not massive, and I think you would be really happy with them.

Ps. For the person who asked about the griphoses, I believe they started adding those on a regular basis sometime in 2008, and should be on all the 2009's.
