Let me start out by saying: I'm a big fan of these. Some of the best mexican gloves I've tried yet. If your looking for a really good bag/mitt glove, look no further.
Purchased: From Juan (technoir on here). I ordered them August 28th I believe, they were done before 4 weeks. Classics had to ship them to Juan, then to me, so the total time was about 6 weeks.
Price: 150 USD (125 plus 25 shipping)
Colors: Dark gray/Black, both goat leather. Based on GGG grant gloves from a few fights ago.
Padding: Multi-layer foam. Soft inside harder on the outside. These gloves DO NOT bottom out. You have to ask for your gloves to be multi-layer.
Wrist: Custom modified. I had them add 2 inches to the wrist to make sure they were long enough. The wrist is like a cast.
Quality: Double stitches. A few spots are messy which keeps them from being perfect, but really good otherwise. If reyes are a 10/10, these are a solid 8.9/10. Hand made in Mexico.
For the love of god, don't use these in sparring. The padding is about an inch thick, but protect your hands really well on the heavy bag. I've had gloves that are a lot thicker and they don't didn't do as well as these gloves, because, more padding doesn't necessarily mean better protection, it just means more foam.
You can really crack on the heavy bag with these. The padding is more of a medium density latex foam. It's not hard, not soft, it's "squishy", and doesn't bottom out.
Comfort: There are two types of tightness, comfortable tight, (these) and uncomfortable (reyes). For me, these are as small as they get and still be comfortable. Just about right for me.
Liner: The liner is a bit rougher, but, I really love it. Far too many gloves have too much material on the inside which really ruins a good glove for me. Punchtown, everlast, and reyes have had too much liner for me, so you end up fighting through it to make a fist.
The liner on these is glued tight on the padding and therefore, making a fist is pretty easy.
I love reyes for their leather and stitching, but that's where it ends for me. Are these gloves quite as good as Reyes? Leather, yes, stitching, almost. And, these gloves are custom which reyes doesn't do for individual orders. Reyes trainers never seem to have enough room on the fingertips, these do however.
If you want these exact gloves as these, ask for multi-layer foam and extra long wrist.
I've used these gloves for 10 rounds so far, they're breaking in quickly. The leather is a little bit harder and requires so more breaking in but, these are a great bag/mitt glove
