Gloves: Lace up vs. Hook and Loop

[mspiegelo]

Im gonna buy some good training gloves, those cheap ones in the stores suck. Lace up gloves are a pain in the ass, but are they better than the hook and loop in some way?

not too much of a difference. i have 18 oz hook and loop ringside imfs which are awesome. the velcro allows an easier time taking them on and off

i also have 16 oz grant pros. these are awesome too. they are lace up. i feel the laceup offer better wrist support, but they take longer to put on.

if its a good quality glove, either will be fine. its just a matter of slightly better wrist support (laceup) vs practicality (velcro)

Velcro does me fine, never had a wrist problem, if you do just use more of the hand wrap on your wrist. Who wants to waste time doing up laces all the bloody time.

WTF is hook and loop? I use velcro Top Ten's.

I get the feeling it's the same thing.
