Lace up, Velcro or Hybrid boxing gloves?

[Aqib]

What are people's opinions on each type of boxing glove? What are the advantages and disadvantages and which do you prefer?

I like lace ups.

I like turtles.



But seriously, I prefer lace-ups for just about everything. They fall short on wrist support in most cases, but I find that I don't really need very much.

For convenience and wrist support, hook-and-loop is nice. This is especially true if you're doing mitts and switching (when your handwraps start to get sweaty velcro makes it a lot easier to put on and take off gloves). But in every other instance, I don't mind the inconvenience of lace-ups.

I don't tie the laces very tightly either. They're just snug and I have to work to get them on if I'm by myself, but I don't mind the extra work.

I was never very interested in hybrids (seems like overkill).

I like Lace ups, even though I have limited experience with them. Hook and Loop, however, is an easy alternative.

Wrist strap feels better to me. Not sure why


[edit] - after a little bit of thinking, I don't like the feeling of laceups sticking to my arms for a long time, feeling funny while bending and not letting any air in there. It's like a claustrophobic type feeling lol
