"These gloves are very comfortable both to wear and to hit with, but I really don't like the closure system, which consists of a wraparound velcro strap and an elastic cover. Putting them on properly is a two-person job, which is fine for a competition glove but annoying for a training glove. This may not bother some people, but it's enough to keep me from recommending them. I prefer a Thai-style wraparound velcro closure. Interestingly, Ringside offers an IMF Tech bag glove with a Thai-style closure, but not a sparring glove. If they ever make one, I'll be among the first in line to try it and would fully expect to love it. " more

"I bought a pair of these a few months ago to replace a pair of elastic-cuff Ringside IMF Tech training gloves. Actually, when I bought these I planned on alternating between both pairs, but I ended up liking the Windys so much that I don't use the Ringsides at all anymore. It's mostly the closure: The Thai-style wraparound velco is much easier to deal with than the velcro/elastic closure system on the Ringsides, which are almost impossible to put on without help. Also, the Windys don't come up as high on the forearms, which makes training Muay Thai elbow strikes a bit more comfortable. I would buy another pair of these gloves without a second thought, but they're holding up very, very well so far, so it might be a while. " more
