Just wanna give a shout out to UMA. They are awesome to work with. I got 16 ounce lace up gloves and headgear that I designed by taking a few headgears and gloves and putting them together. The actual gear came very close to the picture i had in my mind. I think we traded something like 58 emails to develop my gloves and headgear. There is a chemical smell when they're new and I'm not really sure why that is, maybe paint. I aired mine out for a bit. Everything is intact QC wise except for one of the gloves which has two mistakes. This would never prevent me from buying again (getting something made right now), but it is something to consider for the price, I do wish that was corrected somehow. The padding is my favorite part, feels very high quality (dense for my gloves) and I want to see how long these last. The leather is nice, and the screen prints are solid and for mine, pretty intricate. I would put the quality of these around R2C or TU and other companies in that range. To compare, I would say these are around the quality of my Death Adders, maybe slightly less and better in certain areas, but my fighting sports s2 aren't as nicely put together despite being awesome gloves. I love Pakistan/India made gear, as most gear that comes from there meets my expectation of looking nice, having good performance and longevity. I designed these gloves to last and I'm looking forward to breaking these in really well. I have a really awesome feeling that these are going to be awesome workhorse gloves.
