What do you like using them for?Ya, solid glove for the price if they're a good fit.

The gloves itselfs will be amazing. Wilm see how long the velcro last.
Let us know how thw competition gloves are and last. They look really nice.
Wow 55$ for shipping ! Where are you from ?

Mine weren’t a great fit for my large hands but they still got a couple years of use.
Went with Top Boxer Aliens next but haven’t had a chance to use them since Covid hit.

I got the same facesaver you did be interested to compare it to the winning. I am not a massive fan of the fg5000 I found it bulky and limited vision compared to the fg2900.Got me a Fly Superbar X facesaver (Winning FG-5000 equivalent) in white/silver and a blue wraith X groin guard. Besides the Fly hype has anyone actually used any of these and how are they compared to Winnings?
The blue groin guard will go nicely with my blue Winning FG-2900.

I have the fly gloves they are definitely up their with my winning ones.
You get the groin guard with 60% off?
I do exactly the same normally wear my fg2900 but if it’s harder or I have work meeting etc I wear the facesaver i have been training at a new gym since lockdown and sparring seems harder so might need to wear the facesaver more.Yeah I must admit, I'm pretty happy sparring with my FG-2900 for the foreseeable future. Unless I end up sparring harder with some much bigger dudes then I'll use the facesaver.
Lol, I got the groin guard right after I read your post and at 60% off it was a steal for what I think will be a quality guard.
Fly isn't known for big sales though, are they? Hence why I never bothered checking their website this weekend.
Yep same here, last year Fly's sale was pathetic. Didn't expect them to have these big discounts this year at all. According to their IG account, plain White & Blue is being discontinued, that's why there's a steep discount this year so they can clear out the stock.Fly normally do a Black Friday sale but not normally this much discount I think it’s because they are replacing the white and blue with the new colourways but yeah total bargain at 60% off.
Yeah when I saw 60% off before had I assumed it was on the (overpriced) tee shirts etc. I am not sure how much of the x range they had in stock at 60% I was just happy to pick up the groin guard.Yep same here, last year Fly's sale was pathetic.

Haha! Same here, that or either that fashion police gym bag they have. Feels like I need to go to those overpriced fancy "fitness boxing" gyms where the trainers don't even know how to do proper pad work (but still charge you $100+ a session) with that bag.Yeah when I saw 60% off before had I assumed it was on the (overpriced) tee shirts etc.

I think the x range face saver at full price is crazy cheap too if it’s as good as I expect
I don’t think they got stock of the new colour stuff until 2nd Dec. I dont think mine has shipped I haven’t had any notification just email saying shipping has been delayed due to volume. Where abouts you from (sorry if asked before)Excited to see how they fit and compare to Winnings. Either way I am happy due to the price factor. Weird that they are discontinuing blue and white though...
Has your kit shipped yet? I'm a bit bummed that my order hasn't. Our gym is closing a few weeks so not sure if I'll have time to test it out properly.
You got yours I got a shipping code come through today looks like delivery FridayExcited to see how they fit and compare to Winnings. Either way I am happy due to the price factor. Weird that they are discontinuing blue and white though...

looking forward to trying the facesaver the comparison reviews I have seen it looks a definite improvement over the winning
It just came via ups. It fits really well vision is amazing on it compared to the winning so much so I wonder if the gap is too large but wouldn’t be able try that until I spar in it. Padding is nice and good quality finishFrom South Africa. We really don't have any quality boxing gear here so we're forced to import and sometimes pay the iron price. Most of the guys in my gym who take their training relatively seriously have imported their gloves etc. Mine will still need to go through customs and I can't remember who Fly uses as their international courier, I think it is UPS.
Yeah I'm really keen to try it out as well, I took a small but let's see how that works out. Will be great to see some pics and get some thoughts when you get yours.
