Windy Thai Style Sparring Gloves

These are an "ok" glove in my opinion. Better than the average Everlast or Title brand glove, but not exactly top tier either. The leather is quality around the nicely padded cuff, where wrist support is excellent, but the leather used on the overall glove surface is extremely thin and cheap feeling. I wasn't even sure if it was leather at all. The leather used on twins gloves, for example, is vastly superior. These gloves are slightly smaller than twins of the same size, but not much, The padding is extremely stiff and it feels like a piece of cardboard is used for the inner layer. I've read this will soften up over time, but as they ship, these gloves are not at all comfortable. I didn't love them, but I didn't hate them. For $50 or $60, they are a decent deal. For $80 or $90, there are much better gloves availalbe.

I ordered several 14oz. gloves within this price range, (65-95$) including gloves from Windy, Twins, Fairtex, Title and Hayabusa, and these were in my top three for quality and my personal best for comfort. The overall quality of design and materials was excellent for this price range. Some specific notes on these gloves:The Leather is good for this price rangeThe Stitching and craftsmanship was out-of-this-world superior to other gloves in this price rangeWrist Support was top notchPadding is the good kind that seems long lastingWhat made me decide on keeping these gloves was the hand compartment. I can comfortably have wraps on and use these gloves!

Arrived with the aroma of fresh leather; this is always a plus. Gloves themselves fit overly-snug and stiff, this isn't an issue as soon as you break them in. I have small hands (5'4 - male) and would consider these to be a nearly perfect fit (only very slightly large on me, which I sort of prefer because it gives me space to wrap comfortably). Very nice build quality around the Velcro hooks and very sharp looking stitching. My last pair lasted 2 years, so far so good on these.

I love Windy's Gloves the quality of the leather is excellent, I've had these gloves in 14oz and they lasted me 3 years with a tremendous amount of abuse. i just recently ordered the 18oz and damn these are some heavy gloves and will give you a great workout on the heavy bag or pads. Sparring with theses gloves is excellent also because these are true Muay Thai gloves and clinching with these is great you can really grab your sparring partner's neck with ease because these gloves are really flexible. If your new to Muay Thai or MMA these are great gloves to train in every area with i highly recommend.

They arrived prior to given expected date. I have gone through a lot of gloves from training hard on the bag as well as with focus mits with my trainer, and sparring. I always cut the extra piece off that connects the thumb to the fingers, it gives more room for movement and control. The finger section could be a little more open, this is the only con to me. I recommend these gloves, but I would go with Twins for hardcore sparring because they have extra padding to protect your head from kicks.

I made the switch from Fairtex to Windy. The Windy gloves has a longer and bigger cuff and feels like it needs a while to be broken in. My hands with and without hand wraps felt safe and comfortable. The only thing I really didn't like is the cuff. These gloves seem to be made for larger fighters.

I was buying up after wearing my Everlast cheapo gloves out in my first year of boxing. These were suggested by a few friends and my trainer. They are the real deal. Good enough to wear for amateur fights if that's your thing. I've been using them for a couple of months now and they are comfortable, compact (I got the 16oz) and secure. I'll buy them again when/if these wear out.

I have fought mma professionally and used quite a few different gloves for sparring. I just returned a pair of venom 2.0 challenger gloves (felt terrible) and bought these for twice the money. But they are well worth it. They are soft, durable and will be GREAT FOR SPARRING. Great wrist support and great craftsmanship. Well worth the price. Buy them or twins...
