I'm going to invest in some new gloves for Muay Thai soon...the KO FightGear gloves I have are about 3 years old...love 'em, maybe a bit loose in the hand compartment from being used exclusively for bag/sparring work, so time for them to be replaced...
...recently I got some WAAY overpriced Cleto Reyes Training gloves w/ hook'n'loop closure...don't like em, unless I'm going to spar or compete, they don't feel good hitting the bag (puts wrist at a wierd angle) and the elastic cuff that slips down over the velcro is an incredible pain to deal with...used 'em for a day, hated them, and went right back to my KOs...
...now what I'd like someone to weigh in on, is how do the KO gloves match up to Twins, Fairtex, Raja, Thaismai, etc? I've noticed that the leather is different on the KO gloves (seems softer, thinner) when compared to Twins, and the Twins gloves seem to be bigger and more heavy (16oz vs. 16oz KO gloves). Anyone who has used KOs and one of the other brands, please contribute.
