These are my first pair of leather gloves. So my reference points are limited, but these gloves feel great in 16oz. Good padding, roomy on the inside, the leather feels soft and sturdy. I like the double strap system. I do feel like I can really secure these gloves down on my wrists without having to pull on the straps too much, but I do have pretty big hands. Strapping them on and off is a bit awkward though.
