Sparring Gloves: Fairtex VS. CSI

likkuid · 07-11-2006, 08:19 PM

Hi, I made a similar thread to this recently but their was a lot of mix ups as people were speaking about competition gloves when I thought they were sparring, etc.

Anyways, my question is - What is the better buy?

- Fairtex NHB Sparring Gloves: http://www.mmawarehouse.com/fairtexfgv15.html

- Combat Sports MMA Training Gloves: http://www.mmawarehouse.com/csi-1012.html

Personally, I want the Fairtex much more, but I keep hearing that CSI are so amazing. Has ANYONE ever tried these Fairtex!?

Responses appreciate. I really hope to purchase these ASAP so I can finally start MMA, so please get back to me on this ><

Thanks so much,
Kyle

Personally I prefer the CSI ones.....

I was very dissapointed when I 1st got them and sold them in a week, but when I read more reviews about them I gave them another shot and regretted ever selling them in the 1st place!

Have you tried the Fairtex ones to compare? Because you say 'prefer' :S

Yes I have tried the Fairtex ones, infact I used to own a pair before I sold them and used the CSI's instead. I feel that its much easier to grapple with the CSI ones....

Well, I guess I'll get the CSI then =) Hopefully I can get a red pair (nothing I have is blue O_O)

If anyone else has any opinions, please share - I'd love more inputs.

If you want fairtex and you live in Canada they have some stuff on the Fight Networks store.

So you didn't disliked them so much you sold them. But when you found out other people liked them, you bought another pair and now you like them.

lol, I guess some people's opinions are easily swayed by others.

When I got the CSI's the only colour available was blue but I know they do them in red now

No actually arg let me explain, when I 1st got these gloves I was very dissapointed because there suppose to be a "training glove" and yet they hit hard as hell! The padding was way too hard and stiff and I just decided to get rid of them.

I read from other people that they experienced the same thing when they got their CSI gloves but once they were broken in a bit they were spot on. I guess I just didnt give them a chance.....

Hope that clears it up

Likkuid your dissapointing the Fairtex corparation that's something you don't wanna do

i'm gettin the CSI's too,(more reasonable price) but if you got the cash i'd get the Fairtex.
