Here's my short and sweet review (w/pics):
The Gloves
On first impression, I think I love these gloves. The first thing I noticed and perhaps my favorite thing about them, is the open palm form it has. Unlike fairtex bgv1's or most other boxing gloves for example that have a fist form. That might sound weird but I'll clarify. When I put my hand in a fairtex bgv1, my hand is made into a fist, and it requires effort to OPEN it (minimal effort...but effort nonetheless). The top tens however, when I put my hand inside it, my hand is kept relatively open, and it requires effort to CLOSE it (or make a fist rather). I like this element of the gloves because in muay thai, its most often that you have you hands open. Up until you get ready to strike.
The wrist support is excellent. I have really skinny wrists, and these fit well around them without hand wraps. So WITH handwraps, these should be nice and snug. The inside is comfy, padding feels nice inside. The outside padding of the glove and the leather feels a little stiff. I assume they will soften after breaking them in. Bottom line: very comfortable gloves.
I think thats about it. Feel free to ask questions. Here are the pics:
