Winning Gear - Whats the secret 'ingredient'

[GHVA226]

So I am wondering what technology or material makes the Winning gloves so special that they remain superior to all other gloves in the market year after year?

I would assume that with all the rapid advances in technology - materials and machinery - other manufacturers would be able to reproduce the results obtained by Winning. If not from the latest Winning technology at least from something they offered let's say 5 years ago (assuming anything changed).

Anyone cares to chime in? Mike@Gorilla? Wes? or others with knowledge of the industry?

Winning already existed when there were Samurai's around and stuff. They had a lot of time to spend on these things.

I don't think anybody knows their "secret". And even if they did I'm pretty sure Winning was smart enough to patent the foam they're using in their gear, that's usually the first thing you do when you have something unique.

Dammit, so that means that I will have to, one day, unavoidably bite the bullet and buy a pair

Keep an eye on Ebay and Craigslist, you'll find Winning gloves over there every now and again, for a good price. Have you gotten your Rivals btw?

I think it's the foam since that's what you notice when you work with them. That being said I didn't find them to be that big of a leap from a Fairtex, Boon or Grant (older ones, haven't tried any of the recent ones that some people say have dipped)...

it's all about simplicity with all the winning gear that have seen. unlike rival and hayabusa they are not going out there trying to reinvent fight gear, they just focus on the important things , their workmanship is awesome, the materials they use are high quality, and the foams that they use are pretty unique from what i've seen and very hard to match up.

Do they manufacture their own proprietary foam?

Don't know if they manufacture their own foam but they use a two layer foam. The foam on the front is a denser foam, almost the same as the foam used in my Everlast and Tapout mma gloves, the foam in the back is soft. I found a guy on Canal street that sells foam and rubber, I'm going to take it to him and see what he says about it.

Good luck...keep us posted.

I have a hard time believing there is something so special about their gear that can't be matched with the appropriate care.
