Windy 16 oz training gloves

Hi ladies and gents, as i replace all of my personal stuff that was stolen from me (see thread that my truck got broken into lol ) one piece at a time, i just couldnt take using gloves at my gym anymore that we lend out to members because of the fact that ......ahh they smell or are sweaty by the time i get there

so.. on with the review

i will compare these to what i was using before i got them and that was ringsides super bag gloves, ringside 16oz boxing gloves, top contender all leather 18oz training gloves.

i wanted a glove that i could use for everything and i think i found it, when i go to the gym i usually do some rounds of bag work, hit the punch mitts, and a few rounds of sparring but mostly bag and mitt work. These gloves have replaced all of them simply because they are not that heavy, they have great protection, and your hand feels natural in them.

The velcro is the strongest velcro i have ever seen on any glove i have ever used Period!
its super strong and almost hard to open sometimes lol. i have heard on some reviews that these gloves are hard? but after my first use with them they softened up nice. i have very big hands i have ordered just 4 types of mma gloves and none of them ever really fit me, same goes for some boxing gloves, but these 16oz's fit me fine with wraps on, but when i tried using my csi gel knuckle protection wraps they woudl not fit.
Im not saying these gloves run small at all, but if you have fat hands like me and like using a csi or everlast type gel protector they might not fit well

i really was not looking to get gloves yet, i was actually gonna buy a head gear first but when i saw a post on here about mmamuscle and the good word from ron at ssf i had to grab these at the great price i got them for, i used the 5% coupon he now has a 7% one so they are even cheaper now, you will not find these gloves cheaper anywhere and they are great and the shipping was super fast, lets just hope he keeps his prices low



pros.. great construction..velcro should never come off...great wrist protection..natural feel...great price

cons.. none

Your lucky.I paid almost $80 with tax for my gloves.They are worth every penny but you got them as a steal.I think these are the best gloves out there.My buddies have some fairtex that need the velcro replaced after a few months of training.These are tuff and I love em.I might end up buying a second pair from MMAmuscle just cause they are such a great price.Bottom line glad you like em.

I've been debating picking these up... that extra 2% may just put me over the edge. Nice review.

Is this coupon code retroactive? I tried ordering with the 5% code that is the name of this website, but it did not work. Its only a difference of like $5-7, but may i could get that off my next order or something?

Jkap, I'm going to PM you.

Also, we're not completely out of stock on the Black version of this glove. Combat Sports is out as well (of course I made that call ASAP). We will be receiving the new shipment on 9/3/2006.

However, we do still have plenty in Red.

Thanks,

Paul
