  "description_short": "Multi layer injection moulded EVA with additional gel, wrapped in matte faux leather, in four sizes so the fit is right rather than nearly right.",
  "description": "Fit first, padding second\n\nA well padded glove in the wrong size protects less than a thin glove in the right one.\n\nToo big, and the moulded core shifts off the knuckles on impact. You land on the edge of the padding or past it entirely, which is how people bruise knuckles wearing gloves.\n\nToo small, and the wrist strap cannot close properly, so the wrist is unsupported at exactly the moment it needs support.\n\nMeasuring properly\n\nWrap a tape around your palm at the widest point, across the knuckles, with the thumb excluded. That number is what glove sizing is based on.\n\nIf you wrap, measure over the wrap. Hand wraps add real bulk, and a glove sized to a bare hand will not close over them.\n\nBetween sizes? Go up if you wrap for every session, down if you mostly drill bare handed.\n\nCheck the strap closes with room. A strap at the very end of its travel on day one will be uncomfortable by week three.\n\nWhat open palm means for your training\n\nThe open palm is the entire reason MMA gloves exist as a category.\n\nYou can grip. Clinch, collar ties, underhooks, ground work: none of it works in a closed boxing glove.\n\nYou get less padding. That is the trade. These are not boxing gloves and should not be used as them for heavy sparring.\n\nYour fingers are exposed. Which is why finger injuries happen in MMA and not in boxing. Technique and control matter more here than equipment.\n\nWraps\n\nFor bag and pad work, wrap. The padding here covers the knuckles, not the small bones and joints in the hand, and the bag does not care how good you are.\n\nFor technical drilling and grappling rounds, most people do not, and that is normal.\n\nThe thing that decides how long they last\n\nAir them.\n\nEvery glove that has ever smelled did so because it was packed away sealed and wet. Open them, spread the palm, leave them out. Wipe the outside occasionally. That is the whole maintenance routine, and it is the difference between a season and several years.",
