I just ordered a pair, I will do a write-up on them after trying them out for a few weeks. At $13 I couldn't resist.

Yeah, $9 shipping for my $13 gloves. Oh well, what can you do. Still a decent price to pay for the gloves (I hope).

The leather Hybrids are a nice glove, dunno if those black synthetics would be worth the $$ though, but still - it's not a bad price I guess.
oops -- i meant these blue leather ones were nice not cheap synthetic

For the price try it out. The shipping to Canada is insane like 23 bucks for the cheapest option.

I own several of the synthetic training mma gloves (8 pairs) and the leather is very poor on them. They are almost plastic like. While these synthetic gloves are cheap and if you are on a tight budget they are workable, they should be avoided whenever possible.

I bought these in good faith, but was very disappointed.
1)shit construction - seams are already coming apart
2)stupid design - regular is really for large hands and the wrist lock gives no support and is just in the way
3)the syntetic is shit - cuts you open easilly when sparring.

By the way, I have only used these gloves once... and now their fucked... hence - Sale Price: $12.95

Give your money to a friend instead

3. The leather version of these gloves in regular or large actually weigh about 6-7oz (each glove) The synthetic version does not even weigh 4oz. I weighed them on a digital postal scale.

All this being said - you'd be much better off getting a pair of Top Contender Quick Strike Grappling Gloves (EGRAP)- if your budget is tight.

Hope this helps!

thanks for the info! good thing i didnt buy them

Well, I feel like a bit of a douche now. I thought they were the same as the leather ones that I bought from cageside (Great gloves BTW). Oh well... I guess if it looks to good it must be. Thought it was one of the deal of the day type deals.

It looks like they're clearing out as much of their synthetic leather stuff as possible.
