Hello All,
This is a fairly short review because this is a fairly simple product. Recently I was looking for some knuckle guards, I was looking for these for 3 reasons:
-I have a few pairs of gloves that are a bit big in the hand pocket
-I want something for when my hands are banged up
-I want something to prevent hand injuries
With my Thailand trip coming Up I felt the last 2 reasons held a pretty high priority, because I dont want to get hurt before the trip.
I got on Taobao (chinese ebay basically) to look for such things as Title seems to sell a lot of stuff there (or somebody buys it and sells it), The problem was the things I found there were marked up like crazy IE: Everlast gel hand protectors that are 6.99 on title were about 280rmb (40 bucks)....
So, I got on Rakuten and placed an order for 2 sets of NG-2s, Total cost with chipping was 42 dollars shipped from Japan to China, 2 pairs. all emails and everything happened right on time as I was told here they would, NG-2s got here about 5 days later.
I used them tonight in a 16oz BGV-1 and they filled up the hand pocket and absorbed a lot of shock, after 8 rounds of sparring and 30 minutes of pads, my hands feel fine, none of that sort of achiness I sometimes get after similar sessions.
SO overall, I give them a 10-10 because they do everything I want and they were easy to get.
+its winning
+its good protection
+easy to use
+material has a flap for your hands
-you have to order it from Japan....
If you are looking for such a thing, its hard to go wrong IMO.
