I recently returned a pair of Fairtex Combat Sparring Gloves
Fairtex Combat Sparring Gloves-Combatsports.com
I just replaced them with Cageside MMA Safety Training Gloves
*NEW* Cageside MMA Safety Training Gloves * Black
A few quick differences:
The Cagesides run bigger which was good for me.
Cagesides Leather is Softer.
Cagesides Padding is more tapered and wraps a bit down the sides of your hands.
The Fairtex padding kind sticks up more right on your knuckles. (You can see it in the photos)
The Cagesides Wrist straps are longer...Velcro on the front and back of the Glove and THEN the Velcro on the strap. Easier to get a snug fit.
The Fairtex Finger Loops have extra material that comes down over the pads of your hands. The PROBLEM is that design uses extra stitching and depending upon the shape of your hand, it can be very uncomfortable.
It is also much easier to wear wraps under the Cagesides.
The Thumb padding is better on the Cagesides as well.
The Cageside Next Generation MMA Pro (Fight) Glove is more comfortable than the Training Glove but I really like both of them.
I am a Cageside fan.
No problems with wraps and the fingers aren't too restricted
Double-Wrap Strap for a nice fit
