Combat Sports Air Thai Pads

Time to catch up on some reviews, so here goes....

I bought these Thai pads for the simple fact that i was looking for a very light thai pad. Whenever class is over at my training center and i am just hanging around , people always ask me to do some pad drills , and the KO fight gear ones i have are just to heavy for me to hold 10-15 rounds in a row lol.

First impression on these
1.They are very very very light almost like a punch mitt

2. They are built well but on the strapping they seemed to
have used a thin belt latching system, i dont know how
well this will hold up under everyday beatings but we will
see.
3. They already have that broken in feel when you kick them
wich is cool for people that dont like rock hard pads

I will updat this thread in a few weeks or so to see how they are doing

Thanks for the review, I've been looking into these for a while now. Too bad they don't use the over and back strap method with the ****l loop. They look nice and light is a good thing, keep us updated an how they wear in.

I have the normal CSI thai pads with the velcro system and they've been holding up fine. I've used them religiously for about 4 or 5 month and up to 4 or 5 hours a day. No problems whats so ever with it.

Great review GalltiK, I think I'm going to pick a pair of these up when I'm in Kansas City in June. Hopefully you can go in a purchase stuff from CSI.
