It returns more of the real feel of the shot, and it compacts and moulds to your hand round after round until the pair becomes yours alone. It is the padding of choice in professional competition for that direct touch and power transfer. It gives less of a cushion effect than foam, so these gloves suit experienced boxers, for fights and intensive preparation. For more protective cushioning day to day, see the multi-layer foam version below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA genuine cowhide shell\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shell is genuine cowhide, chosen for strength and longevity.
