I have single handedly destroyed this thread with the mention of death adders....
I am getting C17's and I hate myself lol...
Seriously tho, It is great to see ring to cage providing a great product at an affordable price. You look at some of these companies out there, charging WHATEVER they want for a product, just based on fads. I work in a production environment, and I understand overhead, cost of production, cost of Raw Material, and profit margins, but some companies lately are becoming downright CRIMINAL. I will spare naming names, but you all know the companies I am talking about.
If you are going to charge 300 bucks for a glove, you better make DAMN SURE, that the glove is on par with expectations for that price range (WINNING is the top dog in this bracket, no argument can be made). The audacity of some companies to associate that price tag on a piece of equipment, just based on BRAND RECOGNITION, is truly insulting sometimes.
Case in point, I ahve always heard the following about Winning:
"Man I would buy those in a HEARTBEAT if i could afford them"
What I have heard about other things in this price range:
"No way am I dropping that kind of coin on those, when I can just get WINNINGS"
Sorry for the spewing in a tangent, but I was just slightly frustrated and commending R2C.
