    Great, thanks again for all the information. Looks like the Rival RS11Vs are the front runners.

    How about Fighting Sports? Specifically the S2 Gel Power Training gloves or the even the Tri-Tech Bag/Sparring gloves (sorry, still cant link)?

    Thx.

      Rivals are more expensive but a nice glove. For me, the IMF's are the best **** for your buck on the market period.

      They are excellent gloves for the price. I don't care for the fighting gloves, heavy and seem hard on your opponents.

        Imf Are Good Dont Get Me Wrong But The Stitching Fades Quick Also If Your A Power Puncher Rivals Are Great For Your Hands Not To Hurt I Actually Like The Safty Sparring From Ringside More Than The Regular IMF tech but by fat i have had many gloves promex titles ringsides and by far rivals have been the best fit quality and everyone that sees them ask about them

            Update...

            On recent business trip to Toronto (all the way from Australia) I picked up the Ringside IMFs. 3 sessions in and I'm LOVING them! So much better than anything on offer locally here in Australia.

            I wanted to take a trip up to Montreal and visit the Rival store but just didn't have time.

            At first I was worried about my fingertips being squashed (I got the 16s) but after the first session they seemed to *mold* to my hands a little bit and have been nothing but comfortable ever since.

            Thanks again for all the feedback.

              Rivals look good imf the entire series looks good feels good is protective as hell and last! Everyone from pros to ams swear by it including me. Ive seen people use the sparring glove for bagwork pad n sparring and the glove stays in tact like nothing happened. The best gloves u can get period outside of winning grant reyes and the real expensive everlast n ediroc gloves. Ive had my two years n outside of blood stains look like i just got them out the bag. And i use them extremely vigorously on the heavybag n im a hard hitting heavyweight
