Since you don't go all out sparring (or at least shouldn't if you don't want to get injured before a REAL fight or get premature brain damage), shouldn't your main concern with sparring gloves be the best padding for your partner's face?
Like a good orgasm... YES YES YES. Most people end up learning this the hard way. I was included here.

Now on to the gloves... I spend time at Ringside/Combat Sports on a somewhat regular basis, so I get to try out their gear whenever I would like. The single pair that I have come to love are the Ringside Gel Shock Safety Training Gloves. I've had a lot of sparring gloves on my hands, but I have never loved a pair as much as these. They have a real nice fit and are real easy on the hands. I've been told that the only thing people don't like about them is the suede leather on the thumb. Never bothered me though.

And if you've spent any time talking to those guys, they rave about the Ultimate Classic series. I still have yet to try on the gloves, so perhaps I'll do that today. I believe they come with a warranty as well.

Combat Sports still has some of the 18oz. in stock. I have to roll up to Ringside on Monday, I'll see if I can't get an answer on when they're expected to be back in.

the 18oz. ripped on my partner 3 different times and Grant sent his his 4th pair that have already ripped on mitts and bag work. Shoddy lining. He's a professional fighter so he hits hard but it's silly that it's failed him 4 times.

Yeah I only found the 18oz at various places. Looking for the 16oz.

Thanks for the info.

Yeah, this is somewhat true with the Grants... I went through Ringside/Combat Sports returns pile (it's huge btw and I sometimes will sell a good return on ebay), and there were a lot of Grant gloves with lining problems. I'm not sure if they were part of a certain batch or what the deal is... but it's hit or miss with them.
