White SSF Fairtex Style Thai Glove and Windy Training Glove Review!!!! (PICS)

TY SHYNE · 03-15-2007, 05:01 PM

First I have the 16oz SSF Fairtex Style Thai gloves in 100% all white leather. Ive been using these for about 6-8 months now on a regular basis. I consider these my all purpose gloves. They are very soft on partners when sparring, but also and not so big and bulky that i feel comfortable using them on the bag or for ground and pound work.The gloves have held up really well, especially considering they are white and you would exspect them to dirty very easily, but now only have they not, but they are pretty much as clean as the day I got them. Very solid gloves! On to the pics!
The gloves themselves:

Side view showing the padding is in all the right places on these gloves:

Now to the Windys. I got these i beleive the first one or two days mmamuscle.com opened mostly because of the fantastic price (i beleive they were around 40.00).I bought the 14oz version simply because i didnt own anything but 16oz thai gloves and thought it might be a nice change. Ive used the gloves consistently for about 6 months and the feel of them on the hand is great. Easily my favorite thai or boxing glove to hit the pads with or the bag for that matter. Everything feels really solid but also very secure. The 100% leather construction is awesome and top quality. Again, a very solid glove that still looks fairly new considering they have been used for 100's of rounds now. Pics!
Both gloves side by side:

Showing the padding:

In conclusion both gloves are excellent choices! Ive enjoyed both pairs alot, but for the begginer to intermediate person starting out training mma i would recommend the SSF gloves all the way. They can be used in multiple fascets and you wont get as many complaints from sparring partners with those as you would the windys (they are pretty stiff gloves)! Heres a pic showing the gloves compared side by side and you can see that althought the ssf gloves are bigger in ounces but they are the smaller and better padded gloves all around!

Cool, the white gloves are padded a little differently then the black or red SSF thai gloves. They are a little bulkier then the other two colors. The Windy gloves are also great gloves, I have of pair of them, Fairtex, Grants and C.R. and I'm hard press to pick which one is my favorite (besides the SSF).

I have the black ssf thai gloves and the windys. The black ssf are way stiffer than the windys. Just a heads up to people. Both are great gloves.

^^^^ What size windys do you own? I just know that my 16oz SSF are like pillows compared to the 14oz Windys lol! Also, as Ron said, it might be a diffrent construction then the white SSF I own!

Yeah, the black (and red also IIRC) SSFs are a little stiffer, but I think that's by design.

I'm not gonna lie, I love my black SSF gloves so much I've shared several intimate moments with them. If they weren't stiffer before, they sure as fuck are now.
