Twins Specials VS KOfightgear Thai size comparison?

Jeff822 · 11-01-2009, 04:11 PM

Right now I am currently using 16oz Twins for sparring and pad work. I love the Twins but one thing i've noticed is the Twins are very large and sometimes hard to effectively use some combinations because of there size. I heard a lot of good things about the KOfightgear and was wondering if anybody had a side by side picture of them. If the KO's are in fact smaller i'll get a pair and just use the Twins for pad/bag work. If anyone does have a comparison pic please post it. Thanks, Jeff.

I have a pair of 16 oz. twins and 16 oz. KO's and the KO's are defnitely smaller than the twins..its about 3/4 the size..i'll post pics of em side by side after I write a review for my KO gear

Thanks for the pics. How does the hand compartment compare between them? I'm about 2 seconds away from buying them but was just wondering.

without wraps

twins feels tight..tight enough that i dont need wraps
KO feels nice and roomy

with wraps

twins feels extra tight kinda constricting
KO feels just right

when brand new..

both are snug but twins has a tighter fit...

after 3 uses... both loosen up a bit but kofg loosens up a bit more

a good comparison I can give you is that fairtex has the most room in the hand compartment, twins has the least... kofg is about midway...

yup..got em online..if i ever bring my KO's to pinas (mines too special for me to do that lol) you'd know another person who got em

i remember trying on thai style gloves while i was in the mall..it was some no name brand..probably gonna get a pair of those to use as bag gloves to replace my ringsides since i dont really like em..the knuckle part of the hand compartment of the thai style gloves was nice and roomy

I have both gloves

I use twins for sparring and KOFG for bag and mitt work

Twins hand compartment is too small (maybe it will stretch out, but as of now, to small)

KOFG doesn't have enough padding on the knuckle area for me to use as a sparring glove (did get the nod of approval from my head trainer to use as a sparring glove though) but they are hard and I would feel kinda bad catching somebody with them.

KOFG are beautiful gloves though, well made, great price, great customer service and seriously I love em just wish they had more padding in the knuckle area.

my thoughts exactly..when i got my KO's i thought to myself "wth are they hard o_O?" now i dont know if i wanna use em for just bag and pad work..i think they're too special for me to use em just for that
