Ko Fight Gear 18 0z Gloves

Hello ladies and gents , here is a quick first impression of these gloves that Neil from kofightgear.com sent me to try out. I bought a set of the 160z gloves Neil sells a very long time ago and if you search for that review and many other on here, people with big hands did not fit well in the 16oz gloves.

I sent an email about them being to small and He said in time they would have a larger glove. Well i bought the windy training gloves and have been using them ever since.

For those of you that own windy training gloves I am sure you have noticed that they get real soft after time , and I have retired mine to just sparring use. I was about to order something else for bag and pad work, and Neil drops me an email saying he wanted to try these new gloves out.

These gloves fit my hands perfect right out of the box, they have most natural positioning of your hand than any glove we have in the gym. I can only explain it like you have to do no effort whats so ever to make a fist. In the pictures below you will see the 16oz's i bought next to the 18oz's Neil sent me

Now i want you guys to see how well these 16oz gloves have held up after thousand of rounds of abuse. I had no use for the gloves , so i donated them to our free to use gear at my training center, i have had these gloves free for public use at our first training center and now at the new place. We have kids that come everday and most of them share these gloves and they see at least 24 rounds a day 5 days a week and they are still not too soft and are holding up fine!! great workmanship

Pics




slight wear in the palm of the 16oz, but a single owner would ever put this many rounds on a personal pair of gloves (i dont think)

You got me tempted on grabbing these for my first pair of sparring gloves. Hmm.

Just a little side note, i weighed my gloves today and they were right at 18oz's but i also weighed my windy 16oz and they were 14.5oz's maybe because of the work i put on them for almost a year now?

Man KOfightgear is so awsome. My gloves I ordered weren't in stock and they sent me an email telling me they'd be shipped out soon. They Sent me another email saying they were shipped and to send them an email when they arrive. So much love =)
