Hayabusa Tokushu over regular Hayabuse: Worth it?

I'm looking for new gloves now that I've recovered from a wrist injury. Hayabusa gloves seem to have a tight fit and good wrist support. For those who have experience (with both preferably), are the tokushu gloves worth the extra money? Especially if wrist support and injury prevention is my main goal?

I've had both gloves. The wrist support is much better with the Tokushu than in the regular model of glove, and so is the padding.

If injury prevention is your main goal then I'd say the Tokushu is a good buy. They're not the same quality+craftmanship as some other gloves in that same price range but are more protective than most.

I agree with Minowa. They are protective and comfortable. I go up and down with Hayabusa gloves but these gloves are my favorites right now. Wrist support is best of any I've tried.

if they ditched the mesh, and the stitching that goes around the fingers over the striking area and got a lining that didn't absorb so much sweat you'd have a really top notch product in the Kanpeki gloves given that it's meant to be good quality leather

imo

Just tried Hayabusa Kanpeki 2.0 line 16oz gloves. To those who want buy these gloves, please DO NOT buy the gloves. They are EXACTLY same as Tokushu series except the leather. BTW the leather didn't impress me that much. I don't think it's worth extra 30 buck for the SAME gloves.
