I ordered these gloves just for fun, I was ordering something else from Thailand so I thought I may as well get another pair of gloves since shipping was 35 bucks. I wanted to try something that I hadn't used much before so I settled on a pair of Top King Supers in Pink.
They got here a few days ago and I managed to put about 20 rounds on the bag and pads with them so Ill write my review here. First of all I will state that I'm a bit disappointed, I liked these origionally but the more I used them, the more I've realized that they don't have a permanent place in my rotation.
The color of these glove is COMPLETELY different than what I expected, I thought I was getting a pair of completely pink pastel gloves. These are neon pink, even my wife dosen't like them with a black cuff...not what the pics showed but thats more of an issue with the retailer.
the fit sucks. Both gloves fit really tight...fine, I can break them in but the left is almost impossible to get on and feels completely different than the right. COMPLETELY different....If I wear the right hand glove and ANY other glove I own on my left it feels more similar than the left hand glove does.
Wrist support: Not great, not bad but far from good, I can still flex my fist inward pretty easily.
Closure: velcro comes undone pretty easily, hasn't come open on its own but the ease of which its opened dosen't inspire much confidence.
Size: HUGE, like HUUUGGGGE. Too big. Just....Too big.
QC: Seems good but the materials seem cheaper than my Fairtex stuff.
Overall 4/10
would I recommend these to a friend???....no
very disappointed with these as I ordered these along with a pair of Boons that were shipped in the lace up version rather than the velcro version I ordered.
I have to say that in my quest for the best Thai glove, Fairtex is winning gout in so many areas its not even funny, Windy and twins tying for second place. Boon and TK falling behind.
