They work perfect for practice

Open palm design so my hands stay cool, tons of padding fory partners, good wrist support.Great training gloves for kickboxing and some light ground work. The pad might be a bit big for ground, but for stand-up striking, these gloves rock!

Best mma sparring gloves I’ve owned. A little stiff out of the packaging, but after one or two sparring sessions they will be good to go!

After about 3 sessions of sparring with these gloves I am going to have to give a hard “don’t recommend” on this. The padding lends itself to wrist injury (upon impact it tends to curl your wrist inward) and the pinky finger hole is placed way too far away from the other fingers. My pinky is always uncomfortable and sore afterwards due to that confusing design error.Don’t buy these.

I’ve been using the same Revgear MMA sparring gloves for the last few years (pictured in this review). I really liked them but it seemed like the velcro wore out faster than I expected. I mainly use the gloves for heavy bag work. (Yes, I know they say you’re not supposed to, but I do.)Overtime, it seemed like my hands were getting a little bit sore from hitting, so I decided to try some gloves with some more padding, but I still wanted the open palm so I could grab my water bottle and drink it in between hitting the bag.Over the past couple years, I’ve ordered different brands but sent them back quickly because of some sort of design flaw.I recently started this process of looking for new gloves again and decided to try out the Combat Sports gloves (pictured in this review). As soon as I took them out of the packaging, I smelled one of them and it smelled horrible. I put them on and they were very comfortable, especially how securely my wrist felt. However, upon examining them I noticed that the padding looked uneven between the two gloves. Some of the materials on the gloves seemed a little bit cheesy to me, also. Although I thought I could’ve used them, I was turned off by the perceived low quality of the gloves.Then, I decided to try out these Fairtex gloves. At first, I ordered a size Large, since I wear an Extra Large in the Revgears. The Large was too big so I sent them back and ordered the Medium.Upon opening the Medium Fairtex packaging, I instantly felt good about these gloves. The perceived quality was very good. The Mediums fit much better than the Larges.I did examine the padding on both of the gloves and they might not be perfectly even… However, they seem good enough. Maybe there’s no such thing as the “perfect glove.”I mainly just tired of buying gloves, trying them on, and then sending them back. These gloves seem really good, anyway. I’m really looking forward to using these gloves at the gym tomorrow.Update:When I first used these gloves, I experienced my wrist being loose and the idea that I may hurt my wrist with these gloves. The big padding does lend it self towards unstable wrist movement.After regularly using these gloves, hitting the heavy bag, I have not hurt my wrist. My hands might move around, inside the glove, because the padding is so big, but overall, it has been a good experience. Note: The heavy bag is not a hard heavy bag. So results may be different if you’re hitting a really hard heavy bag.I’m really happy about these Fairtex gloves. (FGV 18)
