If you anything about Muay Thai, you know that Twins is the leading manufacturer of Thai Boxing Gear in the World. Definitely a choice product. I currently own the Hook and loop style.

Do you have anything to say about the Triumph United Heatseekers, say in comparison to the Fighting sports gloves, or any other similar gloves?
Thanks.

What is in your opinion the best head gear that Title carries for hard sparring .
I spent $100 on the old model Everlast Face Saver and it aint is good is it looked in the catalog.
I want the best headgear for hard sparring , but don't want to spend $300+ on Winning Brand . What would you recommend?

I bought some Title Classic gloves and title shin guards from cageside MMA and I can honestly say that I like them a lot. The whole order cost me less than $50 dollars and I think that for the price, Title's stuff is pretty good. Not the best equipment ever invented, but definitely one of the best values for the price. Quality gear at a GREAT price.

Perfect thread timing I was just about to make one regarding the TITLE old school heavy bag gloves. Im in the market for some new bag gloves and seeing is how im 15 the cheaper the better. I have a question about these gloves there only 20$, do you get what you pay for in this case or are they actually good gloves for that price? Normally good bag gloves are like 60 bucks I could possibly save up and get the TITLE GEL bag gloves. Altough if the Old school gloves do the trick I'd rather get them b/c not only are they cheaper I just like the style more. any feedback will help.
Thanks.

I've ordered from you a few times, although I like the products the thing that prevents me from ordering more often is the shipping and customs costs to ship to Canada. In some cases the shipping and duty has almost equalled the cost of the items.

Here's one for ya....
I run one gym, and about to open another, bigger one. Both are focused on Muay Thai and Boxing. One of the gyms has an account with Title MMA but we can't get shipping into Canada without using UPS and they charge and insane "brokerage" fee, that's can easily add 30%-50% to the total cost.
To put it simply, I have about $5K to spend, but when I see half of that going to some BS fee I can't with good conscience spend it like that. Please, please, please, talk to the people in charge and figure out a way to get stuff to Canada with out this. We expect over 200 members at the new gym and they will all need wraps, gloves shinguards etc.
I've asked for USPS but I was told that there would be no tracking number, which obviously won't work for us.
ps.
We tried to get you guys to ship to a PO box in the States that we could drive to once/twice a month to pick up, but for some reason there' seems to be an issue with this.

Hey Man,
Honestly, the slimmer the better if we're talking MMA. You don't want to use too heavy a headgear and then when you really take a punch then you wont be ready for it. There are a lot of options to chose from but I only recommend the facesaver headgear for someone that needs to let a cut heal or something but still needs to spar.

The Triumph United Heatseekers are great. I'm debating between getting a pair of these or the fighting sports gloves (I'm just partial to red). I believe they are also made in Thailand but let me check when I get back to the office on Monday!

Thanks for the input! The classic line is definitely a quality line but were able to sell it at a great price. We appreciate the compliments!
