Hello, new to the forum- almost 30 years around the sport, tried many a glove... Barrics Horse/NASA combo are my favorite gloves ever, period. I only ro k high end stuff these days, like to protect myself and all I love doing is killing myself in the gym so why the hell not? Plus (here's a good excuse for any of you gear junkies like myself) If you are going to buy gear you don't "really" need anyways, get the best shit. That way you either use it down the road and it's still in good shape, or you can resale it and the resale value is still really good and in a rare occasion even better depending on what you got. Barrics are a perfect example. Anyways, every major glove manufacturers you can think of, Richard IMO beats them all down with a bat right now. I feel like I could knock out any living human with his 16s. So compact, so balanced, and padded in all the perfect areas other gloves aren't. Going to try to download my current setup I have on me, many more where these came from I will upload soon... Came so damn close to getting these same ones you have but missed them by a second... Got the brown series which came after (pictured)...
