I'm gonna be using them exclusively for sparring. The padding is nice and thick around the knuckles, so it should be good for that. I already have another pair of gloves (CSI Thai-style from www.cagesidemma.com) on the way that I'll be using for bag and pad work. I'll post a full review after training in them to let you guys know how they work out.

wow those look really nice but what's up with that double velcro from the pictures it looks like the strap with the white piping is just for show. the only way i could see it being functional is if goes through the cuff from the other side them wrap around the back. but that's hard to tell from the pictures.

It ain't for show, man. It actually connects to an elastic cuff inside the glove that goes around your wrist, so when you pull it the cuff gets nice and tight and provides great wrist support.

Check out my thread on these gloves for more pics with the gloves on:

First impressions are similar to the TS. The wrist support is awesome with the dual velcro cross strap system. I will be wearing handwraps though as always, but I get what he meant. They are very snug around the wrists and provide great support even without wraps. The fit of the gloves is quite comfortable off the bat, but they'll probably need some breaking in. The quality is comparable to the top Thai brands, and the gloves look as sweet as in the pics.
yea i was a little over excited i definately wrap my hands lol

Temar241: how are your gloves holding up so far? You've had yours longer than I've had mine, and I really haven't gotten to use them as much as I'd want because I'm also breaking in some other gloves.

What's the good word? I'm shopping for a new pair of sparring gloves, as we speak.
