Hey guys,
This isn't a review rather a look ahead to the New version of the C-17. First, of all what is the C-17? It is Ring to Cage glove inspired by the Winning glove.
Earlier Clamp and I reviewed the 1st version which had its ups and it had its downs. http://forums.sherdog.com/forums/f67/ring-cage-c-17-review-2517097/
That was my review, basically I felt that the glove performed well but it had some setbacks like coming in under weight, and to a much less extent the logo being too loud.
The glove shape is INSPIRED by winning, we cleared that up last time. It is not a direct twin, but it does share a lot of similar qualities. I feel that the 2.0 IS the $99 glove to get. Hell I thought the 1st version performs really well and yes it did come under weight but I thought the performance was really good. The glove shape is different than winning, the thumb placement as well as feel is pretty much spot on. I couldn't tell any difference in the liner, I think Mohsin was able to get ahold of the same material. The leather feels the same but doesn't look the same. With the added padding but maintaining the same size as before the gloves perform, really really well. I think everyone will be 100% happy this time to include my comrade Shihtzu! :redface:
The R2C C17 2.0 is visibly wider than the winning, I feel that those seeking something Awesome will find it in these gloves.
The padding is protective and soft, absorbs really well. Those that used the C17s in the past will vouch for this, but this version added a little more thickness to the padding so it will feel even better than before!
Below it the new version and it has corrected ALL the mishaps that the old version had as well as add some improvements as well!
Improvements/Fixes:
+Better wrist alignment
+Better wrist support
+Smaller logo
+More padding over the knuckles
+Better Leather Quality
+Comes in lace-up or Velcro
+Staying at $99
+Better Liner
+True Weight
Right now Mohsin is replacing the 1.0s to anyone that bought them and provided him with their invoice number. Later after black Friday he will have his bulk order inbound and you should see it available on the site then.
