KShaft, I am very much looking forward to that comparative review. If you could also do one for your Winning headgear, that'd be awesome.
Btw, you mentioned your coach's reaction to the Cletos you bought. Since you can't spar with them, are you going to be using them for bag and padwork? That's what I'm going to be using my Reyes gloves for primarily, when I get them.
I have a hard time forming a fist with them because right now my left middle finger is messed up somehow. Its stiff when I try to move it around, but if I put pressure on the knuckle or finger theres no pain so I think its a ligament or tendon problem (its been like this for around 3 weeks too). Im going to give em away to someone who is helping me out with my training.
Ill let you know how he likes em. Did I mention their profile?
my gloves look like these:
Reyes Limited Edition Training Gloves at Ringside.com
Not like these
Cleto Reyes Training Gloves at Ringside.com
only mine have a velcro strap and are all blanco!
If I ever get to spar Ill tell you how the head gear is. Ive at least tried it on and it feels a lot better than my twins head gear but I guess thats to be expected.
