    Hello all,

    I would like to hear your choice and maybe opinions of which is the best gloves to go for out of these 4. Obviously they would be used for bag/pads.

    Title Gels - http://www.sugarrays.co.uk/shop/title-gel-hook-and-loop-world-training-gloves.html

    FIGHTING SPORTS TRI-TECH - http://www.sugarrays.co.uk/shop/fighting-sports-tri-tech-hook-and-loop-training-gloves.html

    Everlast Protex3 - http://www.sugarrays.co.uk/shop/protex-3-evergel-sparring-and-bag-gloves.html

    RIVAL D3O - http://www.sugarrays.co.uk/shop/rival-d3o-inteli-shock-bag-glove.html


    I hear low-mid priced Everlast is REALLY bad, but there top end gloves are good, Can someone advise wether COMPLETELY stay away from Everlast?

    Thanks again.

    Logan

    How much are you willing to spend, the grant pro bag gloves are top notch

    The grant bag gloves was what i was going to buy at first, but I live in the UK and I hear you can pay quite abit extra for import fees and what not. That correct ?

    Out of that list what would you recommend ?

    I havn't had any experience with Everlast Since i was 17 with some 30 dollar 16oz youth gloves, lol. But i keep seeing Everlast more and more in pro fights. Alot of fighters have started switching up to the everlast Mx like miguel cotto. Being that people say everlast hasn't made a decent product in years, i guess since they have had a bit of business, they are working harder to make there gloves quality as high as they can.

    Thats what I keep hearing also,

    Tbh I think it's between the fighting tri techs and the rival d30.

    Are the tri techs ok for bag work or are they more suited for sparring ?

    there is a lot of people suspicious of everlast because they sell the cheap vinyl brands as well. this is the best glove you can buy if you want a glove to use for a very long time.

    Everlasts high end stuff is the same price or similar to winnings, grants, etc. You never hear anyone saying how the protex line has changed their life, but you do tend to hear rave reviews for winnings and grants.

    I haven't ever used the good everlast gear. But literally every everlast glove I've tried on has me punching with the middle joints of my fingers. Everlasts seem to be more for people with small hands, imo.

    At any rate, I don't like everlast at all and even if i did...you really think you're getting that much more value out of the gloves that they need to be 150-200?

    If i had to choose i'd go with the Fightings. Never heard a bad thing about them. Or the Rivals. I hate how Rival tries to make all their gear stand out and how everything is multicolored and just doesn't look like boxing gear. But they do make some serious high-quality gloves..

    I actually heard reviews about these, but maybe they bought the faulty kind from boxingdepot
