I am keeping this simple.
Pros:
- Excellent padding and protection, according to my two sparring partners.
- Wrist Strap with Velcro is very sturdy and nice.
- Range of motion in your hands is awesome, padding is not excessive and does not hinder your grip.
Cons:
- Finger Loop Wholes are irritating at first, but once you work the glove in it is fine.
- Large is a little tight on my hand, and it is the biggest size available. EDIT: Joe has told me in Mid-Jan they will be getting in XL Sizes! AWESOME!
- Material inside in the glove feels good at first, but gets a tad rough after a some use, not alot but a little, turns knuckles red. Since I couldnt fit wraps under the glove, I used sports tape, worked great.
Improvements that could be made:
- Another ounce or two padding would make the glove unstoppable!
- I wish hey would add some kind of soft material on the ends of the finger loops so it doesn't rub into the webbing of your fingers.
- Add an XL size (Being done!)
- Possibly extend the length of the the finger loops so the pressure is distributed more evenly.
In conclusion, the Pros I feel easily outway the Cons so I give these gloves 4/5. Considering I hate finger loops, this is a damn good score. These are the gloves you saw on TUF2. I do prefer these over the primetime because of the extra padding. Plus I just saw CSi has discounted the gloves by 10 dollars. If you don't have a grappling glove this is the one to get!
