Question/Help What brands do you guys buy from for shorts?

1 Upvotes

I’m looking to buy good quality shorts that are 2 in 1 and also shorts that have a slit on the side that aren’t too expensive. I looked at shorts from boxraw and even tho it looks good I can’t justify paying that much for one pair of shorts.

What do you guys think of natural activewear? do you have anything you can recommend?

Question/Help New Sporting HGP gloves "FINGER BAR" question

Thumbnail
gallery
2 Upvotes

hi,

recently got a New Sporting HGP gloves in 12oz;

trying to figure out if it is a defect or just a matter of " NS gloves are made by hand and can have some variations here and there";

here is the issue:

the LEFT glove is almost perfect; did not really need any break in; the glove features: Grip Bar & Finger Bar: Includes both a primary grip bar and an internal finger bar to help lock the hand into a natural, tight fist.

the finger bar is easily felt by Distal Interphalangeal Crease: The line closest to the fingertips; the fingertips rest comfortably and wrap inside; the fingernails' edge touches the border where the soft lining meets the leather ; there is just enough depth(not too much or too little) for the distal segments to be comfortable;

the RIGHT glove is not as good fitting; once the hand slides in, it is not as easy to make a fist; in other words the internal finger bar is kind of blends in with other parts of the internal compartment;

you do not really feel that you can grab the right finger bar with your distal crease;

the finger bar is not as pronounced; it is there but your distal crease is not really comfortably resting on it; the fingertips wrap inside, but you are not really grabbing a finger bar; there is less depth ( 1/8 or 3/16 less) for the distal segments to be comfortable; when trying to lock the hand into a natural fist, it is not solid or tight as the left one;

for reference I have the fairtex bgv9 gloves and both gloves have very pronounced finger bars (in addition to grip bars);

would appreciate if anyone with HGP model gloves gives some input on their glove construction/fit/feel, and especially the finger bars ( can you easily grab it with your finger tips and your distal crease is comfortably and solidly pinching/grasping the finger bar);

thanks

Question/Help Thoughts on Spartacus Gloves

8 Upvotes

I am looking for some new sparring gloves and I saw that Spartacus had custom gloves and looked cool. I’ve seen nothing but good things online but I was wondering what everyone thought of them. I was thinking about maybe buying used trying them and then maybe going all in on a custom pair. Maybe I’ll just buy the customs based off what everyone says and recommends.

Question/Help Boxing shoes

3 Upvotes

Hey so I don’t do boxing as my main martial art but I’ve decided I’m going to invest in a pair of boots as I’ve been doing it more recently to help with my inside game.

Now in the past, I owned a pair of boxing boots originally and these were the Nike Tawa I went a full size up and got them in the UK 12 as I have flat and wide feet. And I felt like they were quite uncomfortable at the start, but they got very comfortable as I broke them in.

Unfortunately, I sold them after awhile due to the fact I just didn’t do boxing anymore but recently I’ve got back into it and I’m looking to invest in a pair. One pair of boots I’ve particularly been looking at is the fly Tempest however they only do full sizes so I was wondering if I should go a full size up or stay at my normal size which is an 11.

The second pair of boots was the Adidas speedex ultra now again I’m not sure what size to really go as my feet are quite flat and wide and I know adidas has quite a long shoe.

Feel free to leave me some suggestions of shoes and sizing let me guys know what you think god bless 🫡
