micro mitt advantages/disadvantages?

yeh.. i was wondering what you guys think of these mitts, the pros and cons... what kind of workout they're made for.. and how do they compare to panther mitts? or mitts of the thicker variety?

bcuz they're so thin, i assume the padding is compressed correct?

Razor Mitts

i'm leaning towards the gel padded ones if it makes any difference..

They look like just regular focus mitts. Nothing special about them...they're like Thai Pads, only for boxers, instead of Thai fighters. Helps aim, timing, evasive techniques, head movement, footwork...assuming you have a good feeder.

Great for accuracy... not so great for the health of your hands and wrists, especially if you are working with somebody who isn't so accurate.

Theyre small and light easy to bring anywhere. I think these mitts should only be used b4 a fight for warming up. Not for regular training.
