Just Got My New Boxing Gloves!

jmount78 · 03-24-2004, 08:15 PM

My Aries Super Safety Training Gloves came only two days after ordering them. Yeah, the name isn't exactly intimidating, but these gloves are great! Aries has the new "molding" in the glove, and they feel alot better than my other two pairs. Gotta say that I am impressed with Aries quality as a whole. Just thought I would share this, anyone else have a favorite brand of gloves?

I prefer twins right now but that could change. I used to like thaismai for a long time, but I think Thaismai is going downhill in terms of quality. The best pair of gloves I have ever owned were the Ultra brand that no longer exists. I still have them but they are so worn out that they have hardly any knuckle protection left. Aries probably has gone up in quality compared to how they used to be. I remember when I first got into muay thai the gym that I trained at offered some Aries gloves that would fall apart after about 2-3 months of hard use. So it was worth paying $20-30 more for a pair of gloves that would last at least a year longer.

These gloves seem very well made with nice leather. Of course the first night I take them to class we don't even use them! But after several classes, they are very good so far.

If they fall apart though I will be sure to let everyone know. I haven't tried any Thaismai or Windy.
