Ringside IMF Tech Hook and Loop Boxing Training Sparring Gloves

I also own Pro style IMF gloves which are somewhat more expensive than these, and I would say that this cheaper version is almost as good as the Pro Style IMF.These are excellent gloves. Initially, they are snug/tight to the point of uncomfortable, but after the break in, they feel like custom gloves fitted to your hand. I think they are slightly less tight than Pro style. However, they are somewhat difficult to put on and more difficult than the Pro style. One reason is the close fit. So if you want a close fit like I do, then you have to accept some difficulty in putting the gloves on, but another reason is the the wrist cuff design. It does make an advantage for sparring since everything is flush around your wrist and you will not cut your partners face. The disadvantage is in the difficulty of putting the gloves on by your self (without anybody helping you).Overall, these gloves are pretty close to the more expensive version (Pro Style IMF) in terms of how they feel. They are difficult to put on, but I am ok with this since the gloves are great. I give these gloves a 5 star rating for quality for the price. There are some better gloves, but at this low price range, they are amazing.These gloves should be reserved for sparring only. You can hit the bag of course and they will offer good protection, but they will fall apart quickly, like all sparring gloves do, if you are a heavy hitter. I would use them on the bag only for the initial break in.These gloves are true to weight! They weight exactly 16 ounces.Due to the tight fit, it is possible that they will not fit everyone, and not everyone would accept the difficulty of putting them on. For reference, my hand is 9.1 inches around knuckles and I bought the large size.

Top quality

I have been in search for the "perfect" feeling and constructed pair of gloves since I started boxing a few years back, well the day has finally arrived! This is my first pair of Ringside gloves and I am kicking myself for not getting a pair sooner. They do fit small as other people have mentioned in other reviews, in fact wraps are not needed they keep your wrist stable without them! They are also a little hard to put on without someone else helping but... That DOES NOT stop me from giving them a 5 star review, these gloves look, feel, are constructed great, they are easily worth twice as much or lets say I would have paid twice as much and they would be worth every penny. Here's the best part - I HAVE sparred with them and they are G-R-E-A-T! Great protection for you and your opponent!

the gloves feel great but they are super hard to get on and off by yourself beyond that they are great.

Awesome gloves. The strap and the cover are weird to use but the gloves are thick and very protective. The inside fits tight with wraps so I don't use wraps every time.I use these only for sparring, they softened my power big time for sparring partners. Not as worried about hurting them too much now.

I liked these well enough that I bought another pair of Ringside gloves. The 2nd pair I bought have the velcro straps instead of the elastic. I often either had to pull the elastic down with my teeth or ask my sparring partner for help with it. I didn't knock off a star for that since I otherwise really like the gloves, and it's probably just a preference thing.

Fits great, no Velcro to tear up people’s neck when sparing in the clinch

Great gloves. These are all we use for sparring and they are great.
