Fairtex MMA fight glove review and advice?

OK so i wanted these gloves for a while but didnt have the money. but then i saw they were being discontinued so i decided to get a pair now before they went out. i got some from ebay here in england for £27.

they arrived today and so i tried them on. they were a little snug and thought the finger loops were a bit flimsy. so i decided to hit the bag, the whole glove just bunched up on my hand and slid back. it was crap. the finger loops are awful. when you hook, the whole glove moves back and the loops just bunch up. there is no support from the loops and i can tell after a few rounds on the pads, that the loops will probably break.

i wasnt sure whether it was because they were too small, so i got my mum to hit the bag and the same happened to her.

do you guys recon i should email the guy i bought them from on ebay and ask for a refund? my other option is to go to my local mma store and try to get an exchange. they hold the new better style. i just have to hope they dont notice that these are the older model.

what i might do is buy a pair of their nice ones. go back in a few days with the receipt and take back the old ones saying im not happy with them and its the wrong style. just get a full refund.

Well you guys are useless

i went to that shop. said i boguht the wrong size and they just exchanged them for me

i got these but in yellow and with a loop for the thumb. they feel much more secure. the fingerss are might better in the making and hold. leather is a little rough on the skin but im sure my skin will toughen and the material will soften
