I used these gloves for 45 minutes a day for over a year and a half (Kung Fu and Bag work), and I never had problems with odor, retaining moisture, or dye rubbing off. These gloves fit my hands perfectly and protect my figures and knuckles from even the hardest punching. However, I LOVE these gloves most of all because of the wrist wrap. I can hit as hard as I want and not worry about my wrists feeling the impact or being at the wrong angle. I have weaker wrists and these gloves have really come through for me.
