I know my local dealer for Twins and they have very nice gear.

That said it is very hard to find Twins gear and I don't always trust the sources online.

Windy I hear is quite nice but I personaly know nothing from experiance.

Fairtex are my favorite, but they arnt always easy to get stock from, if you want to order from them try mma wearhouse.

That said (and I am going to sound like a total fan boy cause this board is all about SSF) you cant go wrong with SSF. His gaurds, gloves, etc are based on the best gear you can buy and usualy much cheaper. The service is also top notch.

I'd just go with SSF if you dont have brand name hang-ups. Haha and at this rate the SSF brand name is going to be one of the best in the industry anyway.

i'm using windy gloves and fairtex shin guards and i don't see a reason to ever switch to something else when i'm forced to replace them... i'm that pleased.

Well my instructor sales Windy Gear which looks like a decent product to me and its great that everything I need is in stock.I really like the way the fairtex stuff looked but too many horror stories on waiting forever to get product from thailand or from their store in CA.I need them by next week so it looks like I just get Windy from my school.Unless anyone has better options?

What horror stories about Fairtex? When I ordered something that was out of stock they called me up that day to figure out something else and had a really knowledgable guy on the phone. I actually ended up happier with what they ended up recommending than I would have been with what I orginally ordered.
