Crosstrainer MMA / Grappling Glove - XL

Whereas the standard glove has proven its worth time and time again as an outstanding value in a standard 4oz. glove in both training and competition, this glove offers a step up in protection.

Again, for those looking to hit the heavybag a lot, don’t be fooled by hype, no MMA-style glove can ever protect your hands as well as an actual set of bag gloves or boxing gloves.  Buy a decent set of gloves from Ringside, CSI, Title, or other reputable maker of boxing gloves to use when you’re really going to lay into the heavybag regularly with power.

Otherwise, for a versatile glove with higher protection, that you can use for mixing up grappling and a moderate amount of striking, without the bulk and range of motion restrictions of larger “training” MMA gloves and without the inflated prices of the big brands, this glove fits the bill while still being legal for competition.

• Segmented padding, and a main pad combining a higher-shock-absorbing combination of two interlocked types of foam. We don’t need to call it anything special , there are no secret formulas or special proprietary foams in the business, just basic variations of PVC, EVA, and latex foam. The pad in this glove is a reasonable compromise between size and shock absorption, and provides significantly higher shock absorption than a standard glove.
• Open palm design, with a long wristwrap and full-width Velcro contact area for solid hookup and wrist support with or without gauze or tape underneath.
• Fingertip piping for protection against skin/eye abrasions from exposed seams.
