Combat Sports MMA sparring Gloves vs other brands?

I have a taken a bunch of different martial arts over the years and now I have decided to start training at an MMA place. I was wondering what type of gloves would be best for MMA sparring? I found a sites where I can get a Combat Sports MMA Sparring Glove for $44, SSF MMA Sparring $32.50, and Fairtex MMA Sparring for about $50. Which is the best in your opinion and why? Thanks!

when I started out. I purchased the Harbingar brand and cut/switched it myself.
it was about 39.99 at the time.
Works great. Now I think you can find it on sale for 19.99.

Fairtex is Qaunity!

For sparring I would recommend the training gloves from Combat Sports, though there are plenty of excellent options out there. I've always heard good things about SSF, and Fairtex is another major player as well.

In the end, it all comes down to personal preference.

I just ordered the CSI Hybrid gloves. I'll let you know how they are after I get them. I've seen Randy Couture wearing them on Human Weapon. Not that this is the reason I bought them but it did help making a decision.

I think you should only use them for very light sparing. If you want to roll with them on that s fine but 4-6 oz gloves are hell on your partners face just some food for thought.
