Get yourself a leather jacket and some motorcycle gloves. Riders gloves often have a resin/plastic/kevlar covering over the knuckles and make a lovely crack when you hit people, aren't as much of a bother to lug about as sap gloves and can actually be talked away if you ride a bike.

yes it is!
Maybe .
Ive herd a lot about sap gloves and i wanted to buy some for self defence I'm well trained in boxing but i wanted some for say a group attack but I wanted to know if they really hurt if u get punched by them or are they better then bare fist or do they work at all in general. I've also herd about carbon fibre hard knuckle glove are these any good either
