^^

Can't wait for these to come in!

Love those colors. I might be a little jelly.

those are some sweet gloves....must stop the compulsion to buy another pair

If only other companies made colorful gloves like the Mexicans they would be rich, but unfortunately they settle for bland colors.

I just got the 16oz gold Zepol and blue/gold Campeons in the previous pictures in the mail today. No welted seams, but the Campeon has a tighter wrist component than the Zepols. Won't get to fully test them until next week though. Pics up soon!

What's the hand compartment like on the Campeon compared to the Zepol. What about the difference in foam.

These bad boys just arrived in my mailbox today! I just have to make an equally bad-ass lace converter. Yes, that means spikes!

12oz. Gold/White

Yup, bag and pad work. Gonna get rid of my other small gloves, this is perfect for my needs.

Who or what is Sinister?

Those JCs look really sick, how do you think they compare to the BGL7?

Oh, that Sinister.

Thanks!

The foam is way harder on the Pacheco. It feels like you're wearing a cast around your fist. The Fairtex feels soft in comparison. I have had my BGL7 for a while now, and they have softened up nicely. I guess it comes down to personal preference, I tend to like my gloves on the harder side. You can't go wrong with either glove in this department.

Wrist protection is about even, maybe a slight edge to the Fairtex. The BGL7 has more padding and a harder padding on the palm side, JC has a harder foam on the backhand.

I would go with JC's as far as comfort. Thumb position, lining, hand compartment, everything is a little better on the JC's. Where the 14oz. Fairtex seem to be almost claustrophobic with 180" wraps, the 12oz. JC's feel just right.

The only slight negative I see with these pair of JC's is the seam at the fingertips. I had the same issue with the BGL7, it's hard. It has since softened up on the Fairtex, so I don't see it being a long term issue with the JC.

Minowafanatic Pretty much answered it.

I like the white and gold, but it's too bad white gets dirty easily though

the leather on the JC gloves looks better than the one on cleto reyes. Looks soft and thick.
Nice gloves buddy.

I know I asked this question way too many times in this thread already, but now that you guys have had a chance to try out a good selection of mexican gloves, which would you guys recommend for maximum hand protection, with no regard for what's being hit? (eg. heavy bag work only)

As fun as my velcro cletos are, they're either way too soft or thin. Almost pulled the trigger on the JCs while you guys were still raving about their density, but hearing Clamp's knuckles got all busted up with them pretty much broke my heart.

I have had no issue at all with using my JC on the heavybag.
