Is there much gear discussion here?! I ran a quick search but not a lot came up so I’m just going to ramble away and we’ll see what happens…
I thought as Christmas is coming I would treat myself to new gloves, as currently I use 12oz Blitz gloves and I have to make sure I pull my punches and go pretty light when I spar because they aren’t exactly highly padded.
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO…
I am leaning towards Twins specials, as that’s what most in my gym use. 14 or 16, probably 16…
However, I have no experience of Windy, Fairtex or Boon gloves and feel some opinions would be useful. As I said no one at the club has them, (Addidas and that MFG or whatever 3 letter brand is).
A friend said don’t buy Windy’s cos it sucks getting hit with them lol. So yes, any comments greatly appreciated thankyouplease.
Try Raja, Windy or Boon, they are my favourites for gloves (I currently own Raja 16oz and Boon 12oz). I find Twins are pretty poor fitting but it’s all dependent on the individual.

Thanks johnny. how you doing you still out @ Tiger? I tried my friends Twins (as I said everyone almost I train with has them) adn they were pretty tight, but still comfy.
we had a very small discussion on it before nothing extra really serious… from my experience, windy and fairtex have been the best. twins I had problem with the velcro wearing out quickly.

Really? Twins are my favorites…I’ve had a pair of windy’s that didn’t fit me that good, and the Fairtex ones were good as well, but I really like Twins best.
see, thats interesting…i hear differentiating reports all the time. I know people that HATE fairtex. but from my experience fairtex is actually better than windy… It’s really dependent on each person i guess. which is why i discourage buying online unless u know what you like (or they have a great return policy).
I have experiecne with windy, title, fairtex, and twins so I will give my opinions.
Fairtex: I did not like, they did not ever fit right and the velcrow ran out fast and I had to run tape over them til I got new gloves.
Titles: They were alright but wore out fast and were of pour quality imo.
Windy: were great except the thump was a little bad fitting but over all they were great and held up really well for as much as I used them.
Twins specials: are my favorite. They fit great, hold to great and have nothing bad to say about them.
Thanks again people - I will update and let you know how they are when they arrive (which wont b for weeeeeeks lol)
but I went for Twins specials 16oz after trying a few brands, all rubbish, sandee seemed the only real nice ones i got to try (didnt try windy or fairtex tho) aside from teh twins.
I like the feel of the twins inside I tend to have a relaxed hand so having a tight fit will be good for me…
thankyouplease.
