I rarely write reviews, read before buying!
I read tons of reviews (I don't really take customer reviews too seriously), I knew the bag would be small. I was good with that, I feel like it would be a bad idea for a child's developing body (joints and bones) to have the impact of a larger bag (that wouldn't move when they hit it) rattling through their body. Anyway, I liked everything about this kit except the gloves. The thumb holes on all the gloves (I ordered 2 of these sets) were so small, my kids could not get their thumbs in the thumb hole. I checked each glove out thoroughly, the problem is there is way to much padding in the thumbs. I worked on the thumb to try and get it to be more flexible and stretch it out a bit, I wanted it to work. I felt like I got the thumb hole more flexible so I kind of, forced my kids thumb inside. BTW, my 5 year old is small child, weighs 37 lbs and super skinny. I could tell he was uncomfortable but he wanted the gloves to fit. Believe it or not, I bought these for my kids at their request, they wanted punching bags for Xmas! So the gloves are on and due to the excessive padding, he could not curl his thumb to make a proper fist like you do with boxing gloves. Anyone who has used boxing gloves knows what I'm talking about. Yes, my other child is older than 5 but also super tiny, the problem with the thumbs has nothing to do with my child's size. So I set up the return and I saw that Amazon offered me a few different options, one of them being that I could contact Ringside, I thought maybe they would appreciate the feedback (I'm including this in my review just so you don't waste your time like I did). I called Ringside and got Victoria on the phone, not only did she not give two s***'s about anything I had to say, she was super rude. Whatever, it's not like she hurt my feeling's, haha, I honestly thought I was being helpful and after I hung up I felt like an idiot for thinking they might care about their product. Eat a turd Victoria!
