Help me pick my next pair of gloves

BabyPhenom · 05-12-2008, 10:22 AM

I'm planning to get another pair of MMA gloves in the next month or so. I plan to use them for padwork, clinching and light sparring. Right now, here are my choices

Primetime 7oz glove

PrimeTimePrime® 7oz Level 4 MMA Glove [PT961] - $64.99 : Next Move Gear, Contact Is Our Business!

Combat Sports amateur MMA glove

SSF Primetime glove

Supplements: SSF PrimeTime Style MMA Gloves

I'm leaning towards the Primetime just because they are 7oz, which may mean some more padding, but I'm a bit hesitant with the tag price.

Hope to hear your opinions and help me decide.

many thanks

I have always been a fan of shooto gloves for sparring. Tons of padding with complete mobility for sub's.

Also I have heard good things about the cage side safety gloves. Cageside MMA Safety Training Gloves at CagesideMMA.com Cageside MMA Safety Training Gloves at CagesideMMA.com

+1 for the Cageside training gloves. They are approx 7oz and have a lot of padding, enough for light sparring for sure, and are very affordably priced compared to most other brands. I love em.

Curiously, what benefits/ differences would the cageside gloves offer that the Truth and combat sports versions can't

I've never used Truth or CSIs versions, so I can't compare, but I have great confidence in the Cageside gloves.

After checking out Truth's site, their gloves look quite similar to Cageside's with some minor modifications, so I guess you could go with them too for a similar style shooto glove.

Bear in mind that Cageside has a discount code for G&E users, so the price ends up being very comparable to the Truths.

I already have the truth and CSI gloves... I'm looking more towards the "UFC type" gloves, but looking for something with a little more padding.

Crossdx, what's the discount code?

Boomer's a really great guy, if you've never ordered from CagesideMMA before, give it a go. Btw, for international shoppers like us, contact him via email to place your order. The cart system is only for North American orders, I think. I've ordered from there thrice, and his customer service is hands down the best.
