In my research I focus a lot on different types of padding in gloves and their respective types (punchers, defensive, pillows, hybrids).
This will not only keep your friends safe, but it will also increase the longevity of your hands, joints, and overall years you can train.
I know the different types of multilayered foam in various gloves however I am having a hard time getting information on what companies are employing IMF and at what densities.
What I do not know is which gloves are using IMF besides Ringside. The problem I see with IMF is a binary problem - you can have a dense foam good for training or a softer foam good for sparring. However most companies would be less likely to make a less dense version and sell it to the masses because they would wear out quicker if not used for intended purpose.
What other companies are using IMF technology?
Please let me know if you have any knowledge on this subject. Im compiling a list of all gloves, their types, intended uses, etc. and would be happy to share.
Thanks
- What other companies besides Ringside are using IMF technology? is Venum using IMF? RDX, REVGEAR, and more of the cheaper boxing gloves? Im pretty sure Title uses IMF and especially in their Fighting S2's.
- sparring pair - softer on your opponent, open celled foam
- training/bag pair - denser closed cell foam (unless you have say winning you can do both pretty well)
This will not only keep your friends safe, but it will also increase the longevity of your hands, joints, and overall years you can train.
- However if you cant afford this, a good training glove will have softer foam on the outside and denser towards your hand which is what most gloves are marketed as. This is the most common glove you will see in an average gym.
