As the title says, this is an INITIAL review so ill update and add pics as I go.
Lately I have been taking a break from Muay Thai and focusing on BJJ and trying to learn to box better. Having a gear addiction similar to many here, I obviously needed new BOXING gloves as none of my other gloves could possibly do the job. A little while back, I got an FG-2900 because I wanted the best headgear around and I have been very impressed with it, Since then I have been randomly checking the Rakuten site and just looking around. WInning 16oz gloves had been sold out for a bit but one morning, the MS600 in blue (to match the fg 2900) were in stock...so I pulled the trigger.
Total cost was 266.00 to China and they arrived 5 days after I confirmed the order. They got here literally as I was leaving to a boxing class so I took them with me and used them for 2 hours doing pads, partner drills and a bit of easy sparring. Obviously I need to use them more to give better detail but this is an initial review.
They feel good and look good but the thumbs look strange compared to more flat/wide thumbs of some other gloves, the construction is top notch, no bad stitching, no problems. I was able to tie the laces and slip them on over my wrapped hands which I like, the protection felt great and the wrist support with wrapped hands is fine.
There isnt much else to say as these are some of the best gloves you can buy. Later I will compare them side by side with the c17 and provide some pics but im off to the friday night BJJ session right now.
Feel free to leave comments or ask questions.
AS for now, I can say these gloves are borringly nice.
Pros:
-hand protection
-can get them on without somebody tying them
-smell good
-great quality
-comfortable
Cons:
-price
-I wish winnings tock velcro was better as I would prefer velcro to the lace ups I got.
