Meister MMA gear

Anyone had any experiences with these?http://www.meistermma.com/
I just ordered a couple of hand wraps from them, and I can't wait. So I would like a heads up on there quality.
seems like there ankle supports and hand wraps are a steal.

pros and cons anyone?

I have their 180 camo wraps. Besides the fact that the color went off after first washing, they are ok. Also they seem a bit short comparied to other brands.

That being said, their flex board shorts are great. Also some issues with color, but they doesn't restrict the movement at all. Great choise for kickboxing.

Pretty sure I was gonna expect the color to wear off, noticed that when i first handwashed my handwraps and all the soapy water was red. I think thats a little expected.

The shorts are something I might look into.
I dont think color fade wont bother me, shorts are shorts. I'm gonna be training in them anyways, don't really care how I look.

Any update on how the shorts are holding up? They are a great price.

Dang Totally forgot about purchasing this. got to caught up in buying other gear, I will let you know when I get ahold of these.

Just an update, Meister Handwraps are not the best of quality. Its thin and doesn't stretch that much, But if you have knuckle guards, then it should be okay, it saves space in the hand compartment in the glove.
Another plus is that if your using a MMA glove then these wraps should fit your need. Keeps the profile down to a minimum. So if your running out of real estate in your glove and your wraps even make to unbearably tight, these might be the remedy.
Beware on some of the bright colored wraps, there has been some in consistency with the fabric, the dye tends to fade in some parts, while other parts are nicely dyed. Another thing you have to be aware of, is when you put these hand wraps through the washer, they bunch up and its a pain to untangle and straighten out.

I bought one of their mma gloves, I completely regret purchasing them. I just got them to try out grappling at my gym and figured I'd try out a cheaper brand rather than dishing out on more pricey (but much better quality) Hayabusas. The stitching on my Meister gloves were terrible and I found the sizes are actually a bit larger than their measurement chart claims.

During the time of trying to break them in, it was a bit of a pain. They were just too stiff, took a while for them to somewhat form to my hand and even then I still dislike them. My main issue is more of the fabric inside the glove, it just burns my skin. I resorted to wearing wraps underneath, but it just felt awkward when I try to grapple. I don't use them for striking but after 2 months of light use the stitching started coming apart too. I don't recommend them.
