I recently exchanged the Harbinger Women's gloves in Indigo/Black for the Men's Black gloves - not because there was an issue with them as both are made very well. I opted for these gloves as I recently took up cardio-kickboxing and have a pair of Century gloves which I'm not satisfied with. Many people in my class wear Harbinger and they are highly recommended, I recommend them as well as here's why:
1) All leather; they will be fitted when you purchase them so it's important to think about how you will be using them. I purchased the women's Large gloves based on my hand size from their chart and in fact, got a size larger than what was suggested. They were very fitted which was fine, but I wanted to wear wraps under them for additional protection for my hands - for this purpose they were way too tight. I exchanged them for the men's X-Large to allow for wraps - they are still fitted, but keep in mind they are leather, they will stretch.
2) Padding; with or without wraps they are well padded over the fingers/knuckles and wrist. If you are boxing these may not be enough padding - I am a hard hitter on the bag and with the wraps, my hands are well protected and secure. For cardio kickboxing that has a lot of bag work, I think these work well.
3) Color - they are black and men's, would be nicer if they came in a different color (hey, I'm a girl - what can I say?) but they are fine. No issues with them bleeding on the wraps but again they are leather and this could be expected.
4) Construction - well stitched and good quality, no issues that I've seen.
The most important thing is that they are well made - yes, they are fitted but will stretch. I think a lot of people giving negative reviews are not taking into consideration what they are looking to use them for, that they are leather and if wraps will be used or not. If you are going to use wraps, order atleast next size up or a men's glove as they are wider in the knuckles and would allow for this.
I would highly recommend these gloves, just keep in mind what your intended use is.
