Anyone used any of the Isami boxing gear? If so, how is it?

wow pretty pricey and a their slogan is a little cheesy lol
 
Sorry for bumping an old thread, I'm just curious if anyone took the leap and tried these or the headgear out? I already have winning gear, but my inner gearwhore is dying to know how they compare with isami's line! Especially after seeing Jon Fitch make the switch from Winnings to the IBX- 2's.

Hm... Interesting. I may have to go to the Isami store this weekend and finally check the gear out.

pretty expensive for a glove. I haven't heard anyone vouch for it, still not convinced. But I'm pretty sure its still a quality glove.

Well, still a half of the Winning price...
All depends on whether or not they are really made in Japan. If they are and if they are of a very good quality I wouldn't say they are expensive.
But actually for some reason I doubt a bit they are made in Japan. Maybe I am wrong...
 
Browsing http://isami-seoul.com it seems the gloves cost 100 bucks in Seoul... WTF?!
Japanese gloves for 100 dollars... 46% discount... I do not know what quality they are, but it is really not much probable they make them in Japan. They might be quality gloves though...
 
It seems it is a different model and is out of stock. They used to have a huge discount.

The headgear is 250,000 won, which is about $225 USD according to google currency converter.

From what I understand, Isami gloves ARE made in Japan.

All I know is they claim they are. However the prices make me doubtful about it.
From some dealer in Japan they cost 175 incl. shipping, that means about 140 net price, so the wholesale is maximum 90-100. Quite low for gloves made in Japan.
 
AND, they have a sale on Winning gear right now! Dammit... I wish I had some money!

I'm pretty sure the reason that they have them on sale is because not many people want to pay that much for gloves here in Korea. There are Thai brands available for cheaper and a Korean brand that is starting to make MMA stuff, as well as the boxing stuff that they've been making for a while.

I think the Isami store is just trying to clear out the higher priced Isami and Winning gear. After all, how often do you see Winning on sale?
