Your ideal MMA glove

I remember someone made a thread like this, but focused on shorts, let's focus on MMA gloves this time

fit: open thumb style of Fairtex (sorry, this is the best glove I have tried so far)
padding: Shooto style. Preferrably SSF or Fairtex
finger protection: that of the harbinger 320 bag glove or CSi MMA bag glove

anything else you guys feel you want to add?

i actually prefer finger loops.

longer fingers (to the second knuckle)

padding on the fist needs to have a break in between like the primetime gloves.

-nylon lining on the interior like fairtex

-double wrist wrap

I'm digging the less wide wrist wraps on the new ufc gloves. that's about the only change I think I'd make to my truth gloves, which I've been very, very happy with.

Im incredibly happy with my new Hayabusa Fightwear gloves. These are my favorite and ideal gloves, love the open thumb Y grip on the palm and the double velcro system on the wrist.

I like the Primetime gloves, but I wish the longer fingers (to the second knuckle) like harbingers have. I get a lot of knuckle scraps while doing light sparring with my Primetime gloves.
