Lol thx, It was random so I was actually in awe when they emailed me....thought those purple,brown, and black belts get priority, but it's random. Anyways, on the 18th..i might watch both Morales Vs Pacquio and GSP vs Hughes lol.

Review?

[Freedom_Myth]

waiting for your thoughts on how they perform too.... or more importantly how your partner felt about getting pounded by them. i am thinking about trying them out, but wanted to hear a few comments from people that tried them out.

Review**

Feel: When I first put them on, they felt very comfortable. They are just a bit too big for my hands. Just a tiny bit. I have small hands, and they gave me a medium; But It isn't much of a big deal. The padding in the inside really makes it feel comfortable, and the material they use are top quality. These are my first mma gloves ever and I don't know if these gloves have a lot of padding, but it seems as if other MMA gloves has less padding then these. When I first got them, and wore them, they felt a little stiff..but after wearing them for a while I did not feel any stiffness in the gloves, It is not hard to clinch your fist with these gloves.

Look: The design of these gloves are made of %100 Cowhide Leather. The stitching is well done and I don't see any rips/tears on them yet. I have only seen maybe one come loose but that's about it..it hardly makes a difference. The cuffs/trim on the fingers allow your fingers to stay in place, while not putting to much pressure while clinching your fists. The color of gloves are vibrant, especially the white ones. (I chose the black ones, since it's less prone to get dirty. You can be unique and get the white ones; they look great.) These gloves have the 2 velcro system installed and they are fully covered with velcro (Unlike some other gloves where only a portion of the wrap has velcro) It gives you a tight fit or you can loosen it too make it fit perfectly.

Grappling: These gloves are great to grapple with. They provide enough freedom to grip your partner. The Y palm system helps secure the positioning of the glove even more so, you don't have to readjust them every other second. Don't worry about the Y palm thingy ripping..It's pretty hard to rip leather even if it's thin.

Striking: These gloves have enough padding on them to work on the heavy bag. These gloves are great for light training or even shadow boxing. You could wear wraps underneath it if you're doing power shots on the heavy bag and what not, but I never do since I find it to be a little to tight (But, you can adjust the Velcro system to give you the perfect fit). When you get hit, you will feel them..but still, there is enough padding on these gloves.

Complaints: There isn't much to complain about these gloves. They have a low-key logo on them, and they look dope. If you want a glove that is great for striking yet allows enough freedom for grappling then I would suggest these gloves. They may be a bit bulky for your liking but, I don't mind. The Y polar is something too get used to if you're used to the traditional MMA gloves. But, you'll get used to it. The price could be another factor, these gloves are a bit pricey for some of you ($54.99USD / $64.99CDN). Hayabusa offers a flat shipping rate which is great, since you don't end up with a big bill.

Rate: 5/5

Hayabusa's Customer Service is phenomenal. Whatever question you have, they will answer. Keep an eye out for their new shorts coming out this December. IMO, this company will come out with the most advanced gear in MMA. That's just how I view this company. They are based out of Canada, and are coming out strong with great gear. If you have any suggestions or questions feel free to email them, i'm sure they'll be delighted to help you.

Better effort Mackz......

Just to clarify, they were a little big with or without wraps?

[mackz]

^ Well without the wraps. JUST A LITTTTTLE tiny bit......like a small gap on the inside but Its all good

[CountChocula]

^ Great Review, thanks. I'm considering buying a pair. Just have to decide between black and White.
