Review on Fairtex Microfiber Military Sparring Training by Bill Tripi

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This size is perfect it's not huge

Just received these today and have been using them for heavy padding and sparring. I've always wanted to use 16 oz. I didn't want a huge glove either. This size is perfect, not huge, even smaller than my 14oz topping. But I think my hands are a bit small for 16 ounces. There wasn't much space, but once I got my hands on it, everything was fine. Best-in-class weight distribution. I really feel the difference when I pedal. I'm using the Top King Super Air Gold Star and I can feel my arms swinging sideways and down because most of the weight is on the front of the gloves. With the Fairtex BGV11 it is much easier for me to keep my arm up when pedaling. I don't like bringing my punching arm all the way down when I'm punching. I'm keeping it straight These gloves make it a lot easier. Although it is a faux leather, the cracks and bumps to the touch are the same as real leather. I love that sound and feel the kick even though I'm using the 16 oz. Personally I like gloves with longer cuffs to protect my wrist, the bgv11 has a very long cuff but your wrists can still move quite comfortably which is great for clinching. And the velcro is so perfect that you can tighten it and still the velcro won't stick out and scratch people. Very durable, great design. I have optical art, I look freaking cool, I've had quite a few compliments, and my gloves stand out from the crowd. Delivery was fast. Three business days directly from Thailand. Thanks imaggi. Also came with a box, I almost cried when I saw it came with a box. wasn't expecting it and was delighted. I had two real leather gloves and they fell apart pretty quickly. But I've had cheap faux leather Everlast gloves that have lasted me at least three years with almost no damage other than the mesh on the palm having shrunk a bit. Decided to try it, it looks greasy. Will update the months along the line. I train every day, every day

Pros
  • Very good value for money
