My new goodiesI don't think I will use the wec gloves I just bought them as a souvenir at WEC 53
Are the WEC gloves really big? A friend of mine has them and he says their huge
Yeah they are a little bit big and the foam is hard as a rock.
How do you like the heatseekers btw
They are excellent the best 50 bucks I have ever spent.Thanks to Arkitekt
i just picked up a pair of triumph united silencers. i'll be selling a no foul protector here today, maybe i'll be able to get a picture of all my gear and put it up. when i got the gloves my girlfriend was like "now you need to buy something to punch!" i was like, "sweet, i got permission and didn't even have to ask!" lol
What kind of gloves did you have? Did you have the "Pro Style Grappling Gloves" or "Leather Grappling Gloves". The names are coming directly from the Everlast website.
The ones I have are these 6 oz. Leather Grappling Gloves-Everlast.com
I would say they are very good quality. They do need to be broken into though and the finger areas are a little tight. I have small hands and own a regular and they pretty much fit perfectly to my hand. Lot of people prefer a large though.
The strap system is sort of annoying...it works well, offers really good wrist support, but it's nearly impossible to put on if your in a rush.
I have 3 pairs of the "6oz" Everlast gloves. The "6oz" is in quotes because a size large weighs in right at 4oz and XL is just barely heavier than that. They are the most comfortable MMA gloves I have ever tried. I've always preferred Fairtex, but was usually slightly annoyed by the thumb loops.
The Hayabusa style double closure system is awesome though as you mentioned it takes a bit longer to put them on. The strap in the middle of the palm is great. I bought a large pair in white as a bit of a crapshoot purchase since they were $20 at CSI. I loved them and bought 2 XL pairs, one in red and one in blue so I could wear them with short wraps underneath. I thought they would be garbage, because Everlast has ALWAYS disappointed me (outside of the 4 Everlast heavy bags I own).
It may be hard to put any past experience behind you and order a pair, but it's well worth the price that's being asked for them at this point.
The shinguards finally came in the mail! Here's my contribution to the thread as promised.
