picked up a pair cause of the sale price....they are crazy light, so far they are holding up well.

guess I'll jump on the wagon too and get me those

I just used these for the first time last week and I liked them. They are extremely light, without affecting the impact-absorbing properties.

I agree, the only complaint I have is that they don't have the loop-through straps.

So how exactly does the "air pocket" thing work?...

From what I've seen on the site and in the Ringside/CSI catalog, it's like...a solid foam thing with these "dimples" cut out...is the leather directly on top of the dimples?...b/c I can imagine those wearing out quick fast...

I can tell you that these pads are about a 3rd of the weight of normal Thai pads. I compared them to the Fairtex thai pads. They are alot thicker than the fairtex pads, but weigh about 2.25 lbs per pair, versus 6 lbs per pair. The quality doesn't look/feel as good as the fairtex, BUT it still seems like they are fairly well made. Like stated earlier, a true hook & loop would be nice.

The CSI Air Thai Pads are awesome. Like Round1 mentioned, they are very light. It was ackward for a couple of minutes due to the weight. After using them for a session, I hate going back to the old pads.

Sounds like they are worth the sale price. I have been wanting to try a pair too. Thanks for everyone who gave their input.

How long have you guys been training with them?

Because from the trainers I've heard who've used them, they're complete crap, no durability, to be brutally honest .

at my old gym, there was a big pile of the ringside air filled focus mits that wore out.

I love these pads. I just ordered 2 more pairs for the gym. They absorb impact well and you don't get tired using them. Allows your energy to stay up.
I just hope they last!!!!
