Best gloves for the price!

Posted by J. Klebba on 7th Oct 2020

Haven’t had them long enough to test durability, but absolutely the most comfortable, for fitting gloves I have ever owned.
Best I've had

Posted by Adriel Choo Tung on 14th Sep 2020

I'll start with the not so good. The first thing I noticed was that the gloves did not match perfectly in appearance. This however is just an aesthetic issue. I was a little off put by the difference, but now that they are broken in, I can barely tell.

Okay now the good. The glove is well built and the leather is durable. I love the padding in the finger compartment and the shape of the knuckle area. I've tried mexican and Thai style boxing gloves-- japanese style gloves are by far my favorite and ring to cage does a great job with the shape and fit. Right out of the box these gloves are ready for training. I train with the R2G Thai pads which are notoriously stiff and hard, and these gloves do a good job of protecting my hands even at 12oz and when throwing bombs. Very pleased with the glove and I will definitely be adding more of this style to my collection in the future.
GREAT QUALITY

These gloves have great padding, wrist support, and style and i recommend it to any fighter looking for a good pair of gloves.

I have been training muay thai and boxing for years now. Fairtex has always been my go-to brand for gloves and I’ve tried many other brands as well. I decided that I wanted to try a new pair of gloves because fairtex are quite hard for sparring purposes. I was looking at Winning gloves because they are just the best but they run at $400. No thank you. After hours of research, these gloves had the best reviews and came the closest to the Japanese Winning gloves, so I decided to buy these. By far the best gloves I have ever used. For sparring, bag work, mitt work, anything. Very good quality, and I am now going to only buy this glove. Sorry Fairtex... On top of everything, the gloves came within 3 days which is insane, especially because I live in Hawaii.
Great gloves

Posted by Unknown on 27th Jul 2020

Got the 16 oz lace ups a couple months ago, gloves have quality stitching and leather, comfortable thumb and hand compartment with a very good grip bar. Wrist support is good too. Overall great quality glove for the price and really slick looking glove too, similar to winning in many ways.
Serious protection and unexpected quality

Posted by Myles on 13th Jun 2020

I’ve had to take some time off from training due to a severe case of boxers knuckle from a new pair of Cleto Reyes’. They lied and said they were lace up training gloves but were 16oz fight gloves so yeah, it hurt. Anyways i was in my trainers gym and he had a pair of r2c gloves and I grabbed them and was stunned by how soft they were. So I got mine love my C17s; they’re pretty cheap for what you get, $100. I was surprised by the quality of the leather, too. I was expecting more or so like a cheap leather but nope, these things are very nice. I wouldn’t say like Cleto Reyes’ Leather but similar. The only issue I have with these gloves are the inside. I had developed bad blisters on my fingers from the lining which is surprising because it feels like standard nylon but at the same time it’s something different I think. I developed calluses and now I’m fine and these gloves are great.
Great Gloves

Posted by John Gallan on 8th Jun 2020

I was extremely happy how quickly the gloves arrived after i ordered them.
They look great and they fit great as well.
The gloves are not super stiff like other brands that i have purchased and they do not really need a break in period. They wrap your hands very nicely and provide good feedback when hitting the bag light or heavy with good protection.. Super easy to close the fist inside these gloves and they are not Bulky like some other gloves I own that feels like you are swinging a cannon ball.
I love these gloves and definitely recommend them. I cannot attest to how they will hold up over time at this point but so far so good. I am very happy with this purchase.
Amazing sparring gloves

Posted by Paul Fischer on 1st May 2020

I mainly bought these for sparring and i must say that these are alot better then i expected. I'm 5'11 170 pounds and my hand circumference is 8 inches. I had a pair of winning ms-500 a while back and i was surprised to realize that these feel very similar. I got these black lace up 16 oz, and i got the winnings blue lace up and as well 16 oz, obviously i would rate the winnings higher but man these gloves are not far behind at all.
Best training Gloves

Posted by Mike on 24th Apr 2020

Worth every penny. Great quality all around. Amazing wrist/knuckles support and protection. Hands down best training gloves out there for that price.
Good Gloves for Older Punchers too

Posted by Dr. Nathan Gilmour on 7th Apr 2020

I turn 43 in a week, and I've been jumping rope and hitting a heavy bag in my garage to stay active for about six years.

About a year ago I noticed that I was getting more and more knuckle bruises with the cheap gloves I was wearing at the time. (These were the sorts you can buy at your local Walmart.) So I invested in some VENUM Elite gloves. Those kept my knuckles from bruising, but my wrists were really sore when I went full-speed.

So over Thanksgiving, I ordered a pair of 16 oz C-17 gloves. Man, what a difference.

I can punch for ten, three-minute rounds and hit as hard as I can, and while my shoulders get sore (I need to work on my form, I know), in five months I've not once had a bit of soreness in my hands or wrists.

I imagine most people shopping for gloves are younger punchers who are going to a boxing gym. There are plenty of reviews on here for you. But if you're where I am, with some miles on you and a demanding job and a corner of the garage for exercising, these gloves will keep your hands healthy and let you go full-speed every time.
Great fit and protection

Posted by Andy on 25th Mar 2020

The 12 ounce gloves packs in so much padding and protection! Excellent solid wrist support. Fantastic glove!
Great Value

Posted by L on 26th Jan 2020

Just an all around great boxing glove. Good support and comfort.
Superb quality

Posted by August on 20th Jan 2020

The first thing you notice when unpacking them is the quality. Hitting the bag with them feels absolutely amazing, yet to spar with them. I chose the white color and it looks better than i thought, the logo is very high quality too
Very good all round glove

Posted by Unknown on 7th Jan 2020

I keep one pair for occasional sparring and another for bag work (both 16oz). I have not had any hand issues using these over the past several years and fit is very comfortable.
Great Quality

Posted by Drew on 6th Jan 2020

Favorite gloves I’ve ever owned. High quality for a very reasonable price.
Quality Comfort Support

Posted by Tyler S. on 4th Jan 2020

Great for my heavy. bag work. Excellent wrist support. Look great and light weight feel.
great gloves

Posted by Unknown on 2nd Jan 2020

Very high quality product.

I got the 16oz Velcro. They are comfortable, quite tight with a good wris supportt, absorb punch very well but do not feel too bulky when punching.

Imo the best gloves you can have under 100$.
good protection

Posted by Peter on 27th Dec 2019

I bought the 14 oz. for bag work. Nice fit, and good protection. It took me a little time to get used to the more padded feeling (vs. Reyes), but I am using these gloves for all my bag workouts now. I'm very satisfied so far (4 months in); I may even up review to 5 stars, if these last well over time.
Great Fitting Gloves

Posted by Unknown on 25th Dec 2019

These gloves came highly recommended and did not disappoint! I’ve used them almost everyday for several weeks now and I couldn’t be more satisfied. Highly recommend these gloves!
Best bang for your buck!

Posted by Unknown on 22nd Dec 2019

I brought these gloves for my boyfriend and he absolutely loves them! The quality is up to par and the Velcro has a tight grip.
Very good gloves

Posted by Unknown on 16th Dec 2019

I am a beginner and read a lot o good reviews on this glove. I purchased and I did not regret. Very good for the price.
best gloves for 100$

Posted by j on 16th Dec 2019

well made, good soft quality leather, good padding that lasts. good hand protection and good protection for sparring partners. my first pair lasted 5-6 years of 2x/week heavy use before the leather on the right hand fingertips eventually tore open. best gloves for the money imo.
Great gloves

Posted by Unknown on 4th Dec 2019

I bought the 16oz metallic silvers and like it so much that I have an order in for the black 18 oz. My only gripe is that 18's only come in black. The gloves themselves might be better than Winnings when it comes to the heavy bag because it won't slightly shift or become a little top heavy like Winnings. Obviously there's no competition when it comes to sparring with Winnings, but these are perfect for my 200lb bag. For the price, it's a steal.
Great Gloves

Posted by Unknown on 14th Nov 2019

I had been searching for a pair of gloves for a while and even test drove a few before stumbling upon a review of these gloves. These gloves are incredibly comfortable to wear and most importantly punch with. I spar fairly regularly in a Krav Maga class with these and I haven’t had any issues with hand pain afterward. I have experienced hand pain with other gloves I have used. The leather feels and smells great out of the bag and the laces seem durable. I haven’t had any issues with smell. Yet. It’s been a bout a month. I do air dry them after every use. The only change I might make to the glove is the addition of some venting. But otherwise I think these gloves are great. I’ve got medium sized hands and the gloves fit great. I purchased 16oz black lace ups.
Great gloves for the price

Posted by Unknown on 8th Sep 2019

Gloves feel great. They are slightly wider for my hands but I do have narrower than average hands overall.
Works perfectly

Posted by Unknown on 24th Jul 2019

The gloves were comfortable and provide great protection.

Excellent value for what I paid!!
good value

Posted by peter on 24th May 2019

nice gloves. snug fit, excellent hand protection, and the construction seems good. so far they perform well beyond what you might expect for the price. I am happily surprised and very satisfied so far.
Great gloves, great price!

Posted by Ted on 15th May 2019

I've got a tad of boxing experience (Naval Academy Brigade Boxing Champ and 4th at Collegiate Nationals) and I absolutely love these gloves! Great padding, easy to put on by myself, the Velcro is NOT elastic (like Everlast, which eventually wears out), and all the color options you could ever want!
14 oz Yellow

Posted by Unknown on 6th May 2019

The glove feels great when hitting the bags and mitts. Color looks amazing, and really pops. Velcro feels nice and secure. Like other reviews say, the hand compartment gives plenty of room for hand wraps. The glove comes broken in, you can flex and open the gloves freely.

I'm subtracting 1 star because one glove feels and looks slightly larger than the other. I haven't weighed them but everyone who's tried them on says the same.

Regardless, I'd still make the purchase again if I had to.

Great Gloves
Great so far

Posted by John on 21st Apr 2019

Feels like punching with marshmellows. Feels like better construction and leather than competing 16oz models but at a higher price. Had them a month and The price will be worth it if they last longer than a year, the life span of the cheaper alternatives by other manufacturers.

14oz black velcro, top notch product, bad packaging that didn't protect it...

Posted by romain gauthier on 29th Dec 2018

As i have to rate the product only, it's definetly 5 stars.
Just recieved my gloves this morning, put them on my hands, i still can't believe the quality. They are INSANELY good, i never approached gloves of this quality of my life.

Everything on these gloves just blew my head off, it's way better than 100$ fairtex gloves i owned before.

Compared to my 12oz fairtex bgv4 (that weight 14oz actually...), they are better quality, better profile, they fit better (bgv4 were toooo much roomie inside), better padded, more comfortable, incredibly true to weight, ....

Despite the product itself is G-O-D-L-I-K-E, i can't say the same thing about the delivery and packaging.

The gloves were put in a box almost too small for them, like they were compressed in it, with no protection but a random plastic bag.
As I am living in France, the box should have lived rollercoaster before coming here, so when i opened the box there were many marks on the gloves, with two BIG marks deep on the leather, and it seems like they won't resorb at all...

It won't affect the protection, but it's definetly something you don't want to see when you open a new product you waited for so long.

The customer contact is good but it takes nearly one week for them to respond. Anyway thanks for your advices, 14oz was the good size for me.

PS: As i am very lucky, i also paid customs taxes for 40$. So i paid near to 160$ for these gloves (shipping + taxes included), even if i took them during the black friday promotion.

It's still a good deal as i think they worth more than 100$, but without BF promotion it would have cost me near 200 dollars which would have been too much for me.

product 5/5 best gloves ever
packaging 2/5 too light to protect the product
customer service 4/5 very good but too long to answer
Simply the best value gloves on the market

Posted by Drew on 22nd Dec 2018

To get this level of comfort and hand protection you’d be spending two or three times as much money with other gloves. I am on my second pair and will never change.
Simply awesome

Posted by Victor González on 5th Dec 2018

I just get a pair of these gloves (Velcro, 16 oz, Pink) there are the best gloves ever. It´s like to have pillows in the hands...
Snug fit, very protective, holds hands very naturally and are super comfy.

Posted by Unknown on 6th Sep 2018

Seriously incredible value for the comfort and protection these provide. I must admit I was skeptical buying these at first given that they dont have a 'big brand' name but after reading comparisons all over the web between these and 'Winning' gloves stating that these gloves are on par I went ahead with the purchase.
In short, these gloves are fucking mad, absolutely loveeeee them!
Good Customer Service, Great Sparring Gloves

Posted by Unknown on 29th Aug 2018

Placed my order late in the day, at 5PM EST, they shipped in less than hour.

I’m 6’2” 200lb, wear Large in sized gloves. 18oz Velcro fits perfect with 180” wraps.
My sparring partners wear full face cage MMA headgear and I was occasionally punching through the padding on 16oz Everlast Elite, rocking my partner and my knuckles.

6 rounds this morning, and gloves performed as advertised. Much easier on partners and my hands. Still get good feedback when you connect, but not the jolt that runs all the way up your arm.

Gloves are definitely wider than what I’m used to, but they feel light on your hands. Easy to put on without help & Velcro stays put.
Great pair of gloves!

Posted by Unknown on 13th May 2018

They fit as I would want them to and after use they mold to your hand. Great glove!
Great compared to pure Muay Thai gloves

Posted by Sergiu on 7th Mar 2018

If you punch hard, specific boxing gloves like these are a must compared to Muay Thai gloves in my opinion. They fit me better and reduce knuckle pain.
Comfort Unparalleled

Posted by Unknown on 11th Jan 2018

I bought these because my hands were hurting after a few months of heavy bag worth using Title Gel World Bag Gloves. There are basicall two schools of though on heavy bag gloves: gel and foam. With gel not working for me, I needed to try foam to see if it was the bags or if maybe my hands were just too fragile for boxing.

The 16 oz Ring to Cage Japanese style training gloves were one one of two heavily praised foam gloves, with the other being the classic Winning gloves. Since I was unsure if it was the gloves or my hands that were the problem I was reluctant to spend the money on Winning gloves, so I went with these guys, which were super affordable in comparison, especially given the rave reviews.

They've been great so far. No pain, great quality, plus they look awesome too. I've only been using them for a few weeks so far but I look forward to putting them on and getting down to bag work every day.
Almost perfect

Posted by Sean Jones on 28th Dec 2017

I just received my 1st pair of C17's. After trying a pair of Winnings I wanted my own, but didn't want to break the bank in doing so. So after a lot of research I decided these were the closest I can get. The support and comfort are for all intents and purposes, identical to winnings. The leather is supple, but after unboxing them, I noticed there is a couple small tears near a seam by the thumb. I was obviously disappointed with that, because they can rapidly go from small tears, to full blown peeling, so that's cause for concern. I also noticed a couple spots of discoloration, but that is purely cosmetic. I wish they hadn't arrived with two tears so close to a seem, but that may be because they were mishandled during packaging, not because of the actual production process. Nevertheless, it's why I have to give them 4 stars, instead of 5. Fantastic pair of gloves otherwise.
Very Satisfied!

Posted by Andrew on 1st Dec 2017

One of the best gloves out there at this price point. They do an outstanding job of protecting your hands, are very comfortable, and are made very well with high quality materials. Highly recommended.
Fkin great gloves!!

Posted by Unknown on 29th Nov 2017

A bit slow and expensive shipping for international orders, but the product is top notch! Best gloves I've used so far
Great gloves

Posted by Andrew Baker on 22nd Nov 2017

Very impressed with the gloves. The quality and hand protection is great, especially at this price point. I would recommend these gloves to anyone, and I’m not someone who is that easy to impress. I’ll also add that I’ve tried almost all of the major glove brands.
Good Quality Sparring Gloves

Posted by Unknown on 22nd Nov 2017

Bought the 16oz and although they seem/look fairly large they feel nice and light when wearing. Very comfy and excellent protection your hands imo. For the money they’re really good gloves, I would defiantly recommend them.
Great Gloves & Good Price

Posted by Unknown on 16th Oct 2017

I use them mostly for boxing sparring (occasionally Muay Thai) and they are great! I use the lace up so they have very good wrist support and excellent knuckle cushioning when striking. Although they are larger/wider than other 16oz gloves they feel light when striking so it's not a problem. Some people might find them to be a little stiff when you first use them (I don't mind this) but they do soften up after you break them in.

Although they are not the absolute best gloves out there they are very very good for the price - if you want better you will have to drop $150 or more on Cletos, Rivals, Hayabusas, etc.
Amazing Customer Service and Product

Posted by sequoia on 5th Oct 2017

We bought two sets of gloves and hand wraps. All are amazing quality. Wonderful padding on inside for knuckles. Use daily. Three days after we bought them they went on sale with a promo code. I called them and left a message and not only did they credit my credit card the difference they even took the time to call after they did so to let me know they did this. They could have just emailed but called instead. Customer service is amazing and the product is comfortable and high quality! Would recommend!
Great sparring / training glove

Posted by Unknown on 8th Sep 2017

No more knuckle pain and it's easy on sparring partners. 100% recommended
Great gloves

Posted by David Maxfield on 16th Aug 2017

Best gloves I've ever owned by far
Great glove for the price

Posted by Unknown on 9th Jul 2017

I bought these gloves after developing pain when training. These gloves are sift and really protect your hands. The reason I didn't give them 5 stars is because they are a little tight. I've only had them for a month hopefully they'll break in. But overall really nice glove, and you can't beat the price.
Best in Class

Posted by Unknown on 28th Jun 2017

I use 16oz, Velcro closure; Masters Boxer 200lbs; 10-14 hrs. week in the gym.
In the $75-120 price range best I have used. Masters boxing requires 16oz pillows. R2C has the best feel for this type of gloves- meaning they come closest to the feel of a 14oz glove in terms of contact- and protect both you and your sparring partner. Now my go-to glove.
For pads/bag work, similar feel to other 16oz overly padded gloves [too much compression, not enough wrist support]. Considering a lighter lace-up pair for future use.
Great gloves

Posted by Jorge L Dones on 25th May 2017

Great glove fits perfectly and I am able to make a solid fist like when you have laced gloves. This means a lot for velcro usually you don't have that type of handle with a velcro glove.
Awesome Glove For The Bag and Sparring

Posted by Le Roi Stephon Hayden on 15th May 2017

I was having problems with soreness in my hands and wrists after hitting the bag when I hit the bag in certain ways... I was using Sanabul Kickboxing style glove and knew since I was doing boxing training I needed to switch to a real professional level boxing glove. I went ahead and got these after reading that they were one of the top boxing gloves on the market and they didn't dissapoint: my hands are never sore after a workout and the lace up version provides excellent support for the wrists much better than the velco version would
Great Bang for your Buck

Posted by Mike J on 10th May 2017

High quality gloves. Hand/Wrist protection is second to none. I only wish is had a better impact surface for better "pop" on the heavy bags and mitts.
Great gloves, 16 oz lace up & 12 oz velcro

Posted by Unknown on 18th Apr 2017

Most protective gloves I've used so far. Haven't tried winning yet, but until I do these are some of the best gloves I've used so far. The lace up gloves give really excellent wrist support. My 12 oz velcros give enough support for Velcro gloves, but I only use them occasionally for mitt work and mostly for double end bag work. Not sure how much support it would give against the heavy bag.
Top notch gloves

Posted by James on 19th Feb 2017

I have worked through many other brands of glove before reading the reviews on this one and importing them from the states. I was so happy with the 16 oz with them i ordered the 12 oz s a few days later. Great protection and awsome feel. Nice and tight fit and great balance.
16oz White Velcro

Posted by Kevin on 10th Feb 2017

The unanimous 5 star rating is undeserved but these are still very good gloves for the price.
- High quality materials, the density of the foam is great
- Wrist support is perfect
- Craftsmanship isn't amazing: wrinkles in the leather, some visible stitching, the two gloves are not entirely symmetrical with one another ... These issues are mostly cosmetic though
- Gloves take about 5 hours of use to break in
- The mold is more rounded than I like but that's personal preference. I prefer a more squared shape for knuckle contact
- These are likely the best gloves you can buy for under $150
Awesome Pair of Gloves

Posted by Dayton Zedd on 10th Feb 2017

Been using the gloves for about 3 weeks now and they have been great. Has to be one of the most comfortable gloves I have used so far.
Best option in this price range

Posted by RM on 6th Feb 2017

Great glove for a great price, don't know how these will hold up over time but so far very happy with the product. No break in time, comfortable right out of the box. Terrific hand protection. The thumb is also very well cushioned and protected.
Superb

Posted by Drew on 5th Feb 2017

Im picky about my gear. I have 5 sets of gloves from title (2), reyes, ringside, and r2c. All have their benefits but each has at least one drawback. The r2c gloves have the fit/feel for pad work and the protection for bag work and sparring. You can use these gloves for anything. No break in period. Best price to quality ratio.
The best boxing gloves I've ever used

Posted by Unknown on 24th Jan 2017

These are the best boxing gloves I've ever used or owned. I used to use Cleto Reyes...not any more. 14oz C17's are just perfect.
Very good and comfortable gloves!

Posted by Unknown on 6th Jan 2017

The best gloves in this segment! No other brands, have no sense, will purchase another pair, but with laces in yellow.
12z lace up red

Posted by Mark on 3rd Jan 2017

Not quite as good quality on the inner lining as on my 16oz its a little bit to loose but other than that they are perfect.
Amazing Quality at a Great Price

Posted by Joseph Hernandez on 29th Dec 2016

I have three pairs of these now and no longer have to look at any other brands or types. These gloves are just about perfect. They are super compact and do a great job of protecting your hands, knuckles, and wrists. They are offered in a variety of colors so you may choose the traditional look (black or red) or a modern look (metallic colors), you can also purchase these to match shoes/outfits, etc. I bought a pair to try them out 3 years ago and have never looked back. Honestly an amazing product at a great price compared to other top notch gloves. Thank you Ring to Cage.
Best quality for the price

Posted by JS on 29th Dec 2016

I got blue 16oz gloves for sparring. These needed very little time to break in. The leather is a matte blue and feels very smooth. The padding is soft enough to not harm partners badly in sparring and doesn't hurt my knuckles on the heavy bag like others I own. Inside liner similiar to the Everfresh liner in Everlast gloves (not a bad thing). Overall an excellent glove and great alternative to Winnings.
THE PERFECT GLOVES!

Posted by Josh on 10th Nov 2016

I bought the black velcro pair back in early May, and I just had to leave a review and rave about these. These are the best gloves I've ever used! Beautiful, beautiful gloves, incredibly quality, come already broken in, extremely comfortable, and extremely well-padded. I've used these 5-7 days a week for the past 6 months, hitting the bags, mitts, light sparring (shouldn't spar too much with training gloves), doing pushups and burpees on cement floors. There's barely any signs of wear on this glove. My next pair is definitely going to be this glove but another color, I'm thinking blue. Tremendous, tremendous value for the money, stop reading this buy it now!!!
Nice Glove

Posted by Kareem G. on 23rd Oct 2016

Good soft but firm glove. IDK if my fingers are to long or it needs to be broken in because after about 4 or rounds on the heavy bag, my right hand at the tip of my fingers feel uncomfortable. It's like they slide past the padded part and start to be bother me. Like I said, maybe it's part of the break in period, but I've only worn them twice so far. Good quality glove though.
I'm no expert...

Posted by Rick on 19th Oct 2016

...but I enjoy using these gloves much better than the Everlast MMA gloves (with pre-wrap) that I was using to hit an Aqua bag. My knuckles were bruised pretty bad using the Everlast MMA gloves. I had to take some time off to let them heal. Now I'm back and using the Ring to Cage C17 2.0 gloves (12oz). They feel really comfortable even with pre-wrap on my fist underneath. Hardly any breaking in was necessary. There's been no bruising thus far and I've been going at it pretty hard. I love how tight I can sinch the velcro around my wrist too. I'm happy with the 12oz glove for hitting the Aqua Bag. I was worried about the size and padding. I have an average to large hand size but these gloves give me the protection I need. They've been well worth the money.
great!

Posted by Unknown on 16th Oct 2016

Similar or better than winnings
Very comfortable but we need more colors

Posted by Victor on 28th Sep 2016

They are really comfortable, they feel like pillows.
The only thing we ask is to have all colors in all sizes, I need a pink pair of 16 or 18 oz.
Excellent

Posted by Yoyo on 11th Sep 2016

Nice fit, awesome material, nice protection, best gloves I've owned for the price.
WOW, Awesome Gloves!

Posted by Danny Ives on 31st Aug 2016

I got mine yesterday and right out of the bag they felt great. I really like the high quality and craftsmanship that went into making these gloves. They feel very much like Winning Gloves. I highly recommend investing in a pair of these.
Best gloves without breaking the bank

Posted by Jose on 18th Aug 2016

For the price, this is hands down the best gloves available in the market!
Winning inspired

Posted by Eric on 20th Jul 2016

Ok so, i love winning but quite honestly... they put a hole in ny pocket. All the research and trial and error I've done had led me to try this glove and I'm glad i did. I have hand problems so the winnings are so crucial but since i decided to stop buying them this was an amazing substitute for the winning.. best winning inspired glove on the market and ive tried all the protective brands and this is the closest. For the price, dont know why more people dont have them
C17 gloves - must haves!

Posted by andy on 30th Jun 2016

brilliant! excellent workmanship. quality leather. perfect fit. beautifully weighted. excellent padding/protection.

must buy!
Great gloves for versatile use

Posted by Unknown on 23rd Jun 2016

I own a pair of Hayabusa and RDX. I like r2c japanese gloves the best.
A MUST BUY

Posted by Ares Favati on 23rd Jun 2016

I have both this gloves (18 oz hook n loop) and the 16 oz Winning (lace up) and O must say: theese gloves are amazing!
Good "broken in" feeling thw first workout but after few weeks the feel better.
Great knuckles protection and very good wrist protection, every punch impact directly kn the knuckles and have a good pop too.
As a 18 oz they r not very heavy, if compared 2 the reyes same size, but that's not a big deal.
Very good protection 4 ur sparring partner 2, it's a MUST BUY!!!
Love my Custom 14oz

Posted by Mara on 14th Jun 2016

I just received my 14oz Japanese Style C17 glove made custom in gold and silver. I love them! I was using silver 12oz velcro ones which I really liked but felt I needed to go to 14oz for added protection and comfort. The new 14oz are working out great. They were a little stiff on the first use but quickly molded to my hands.
16oz Yellow

Great gloves very comfortable and great protection, also gave me some free hand wraps as well which were greatly appreciated. leather and stitching are great quality and also have an awesome liner that doesn't ever feel soggy etc.
best gloves ever

Posted by Mehdi firoozi on 17th Apr 2016

All I can say is that I've been training thaiboxing for long time and I tried many deferent type of gloves but your c-17 2.0 is probably best gloves I have ever had. Thanks
Best gloves I've ever owned. Video of my fat self losing weight working out.

I uploaded a video of my fat self on amazon.com and here is the link to that review if you want to check out the Ring to Cage Thai Boxing heavy bag. I am also wearing C-17 Japanese style Ring to Cage gloves and Ring to Cage handwraps. I haven't hurt my hands while using these gloves and hand wraps hitting this heavy bag I stuffed myself.

I have carpal tunnel in both hands from a job injury I had 11 yrs ago which prevented me from working out with my hands pretty much and I got fat and out of shape but with these gloves.....that's going to change. I'm slowly working on losing the weight
Awesome glove

These are by far some of the best gloves I have own.
The best training glove you can get in the US

Posted by John Rivers on 11th Mar 2016

Outside of buying a winning glove for 2-3 hundred more dollars, there is nothing that has better build quality, padding and protection out of all the gloves I've tried in the past 3 years of boxing. I had knuckle pain that almost forced me to quit the sport but these have kept me in it.

Mohsin also helped me design a custom glove and though it takes longer to get 'em, they are worth it. It is an awesome Red White and Blue color combo with a 4 in velcro strap which really helps my dainty little wrists get a good fit. Great for heavy bag work. Great for sparring. Really wonderful gloves at an amazing price. I've had them for 4 months now and they are still perfect.
Best gloves I've ever owned.

Update from my other reviews. These gloves are the BEST gloves I have ever owned or used. They are tough as nails and the padding and the fit is.......perfect. Ring to Cage you can't go wrong. I love these gloves!
Great gloves

Posted by Paul Quinones on 26th Feb 2016

I just bought these gloves in gold about a hour ago. The gloves are amazing. The best customer service, he help me and told his time to explain and let me try on some equipment. He explained what i need and wanted. Top notch. I will be there soon again. Very comfortable gloves. You have have to. U a very very expensive gloves ,you can find the same and exact gloves at a lower prices
Great, well made product and excellent customer service.

Purchased a pair of the 18oz C17's in black. I got my pair in the mail quite quickly and was very impressed up front with the overall construction quality. I got these gloves for dedicated bag gloves and the extra weight definitely helps out on pushing a little extra cardio.

Anyway the initial pair I received a bit small construction error in one of the gloves at the finger tips. I have pretty large hands and there was a thick fold of padding at the front of the finger compartment which was creating a weird split in my fingers. I submitted an exchange and was happy to find out Ring to Cage sent me a shipping label to return them the gloves and then sent me a new pair at no charge. The turn around time was pretty fast and communication was easy. It is really great to see a company that stands behind their product.

Aside from the singular construction error in my initial pair, the build quality is quite amazing. Inside and outside of the glove are stitched very well and I really don't think you can beat the build quality at this price point or anywhere close to it without going up to some Cleto Reyes or Winning gloves.

Thanks a lot for the awesome gloves. I am loving my new pair; after a week and a half with them they are really working out great!
Amazing quality, definitly worth the price.

Posted by Damian on 11th Feb 2016

At first I was a bit sceptical to order a pair of gloves from the US, considering I have such a wide variety of options here in The Netherlands yet after reading plenty of reviews I figured these gloves must really be something special and considering the price I figured it's definitly worth the shot.
Here I am 1 month later, having used the gloves at least twice a day 5/6 times a week they're simply amazing.
Knuckle protection wise they are the best glove I've ever owned, super snug and it feels like the glove has molded to my hand. I can also catch kicks with these, yet I find it a little less comfortable then with my regular thai gloves (Booster v4 greens) but this isn't a bad thing considering those gloves are specifically made with that in mind padding wise. Yet these ring to cage's are capable of it all and they offer a lot more support and are a whole lot more compact boxing wise so that definitly makes up for it. I'll definitly keep one set of Ring to cage's Japanese style boxing gloves in my training bag, Extra note: The weight distrubution is close to perfect in my opinion, really great.
Keep in mind that even though these gloves offer GREAT all round protection if you're a bit of a heavy hitter it might slightly shock through the wrists, however I had this with all gloves I 've owned and the ring to cage's have barely any shocks, BUT if I'm really smashing the pads the shock is there just a bit. Still way less then all of the other gloves I've used.
Eitherway, much thanks for R2C for making these great gloves they've definitly added a fan to their base.
Best training glove out there

Posted by Matt on 30th Dec 2015

I purchased these gloves hoping they would fulfill the rave reviews it received from virtually everyone that has used them. They are most compared to Winning which are considered the best gloves(or top 3) on the market.I have never used Winning gloves,but I no longer see the need because the C-17's are the best quality/value around without a doubt,and for a third of the price.The fit and feel is very comfortable,the padding is excellent,top quality leather,and great craftsmanship.You will not find a better for $100 and its an absolute steal with a holiday discount code. If you are looking for the absolute best quality for an affordable price,look no further.
GREAT!

Posted by Mike on 29th Dec 2015

Used this gloves for some sparring session now and they are great!
I bought the lace up 16oz-red, and they fit and protect me awesome!
Took just 2 weeks to my house (Sweden) fast in my opinion.
And the price is just great! 100$ gloves in sweden are just shit!

Thanks RingToCage for making amazing products!
Best sparring glove I've own so far

Posted by Álvaro Núñez on 13th Dec 2015

Once the glove break in, the fell for the hand is amazing, very good grip.
You can make a full fist without trouble.
Very good wrist support.
I bought the 14 oz version and it gave great protection for your sparring partnet and your hands. The weight was the same in both gloves.
I really recommend them, for the price they are the best.
You got me with Cyber Monday deals.

Posted by John M. Suisun City/Fairfield, Ca. on 9th Dec 2015

I got the Cyber Monday discount email and I couldn't resist. I've bought 2 pairs of these already and I absolutely love these gloves! The quality of the fit, finish, durable cowhide leather the padding is just top notch and for $99 you can't beat these gloves much less the Cyber Monday special. I bought a pair early in the month and I should've waited for the Cyber Monday special.

But then again I'm not a shopping expert like my old lady who knows about Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales and all. I'm a typical guy, I watch football and eat pizza. Anyways I love these gloves man. I'm addicted to these gloves and Ring to Cage products like I love Tenzaru Soba noodles from Japan town in San Francisco Ca. Lol that and strip clubs yeah baby! .....anyways buy them you will love them.
Awesome Gloves

Posted by Unknown on 3rd Dec 2015

Love these gloves! Great quality and very comfortable
But these gloves.

Posted by John M. Suisun City Ca. on 13th Nov 2015

I've love these gloves! Buy them you won't regret it I've been using these for about a month and they are just fantastic in every way. I think these just might be the best pair of gloves I've ever owned. I've had Grant, Ringside, Century, Everlast and Cleto Reyes but these are awesome!
I love these gloves.

Posted by John M. Suisun City/Fairfield, Ca. on 18th Oct 2015

I bought another pair of the 12 oz. Japanese style gloves in white only this time with the velcro. These gloves are awesome! They really are, I have had gloves in the past from other brands, Cleto Reyes, Grant, Everlast Ringside, Century Creed. I'm sure I'm forgetting a brand but anyways these are just awesome in every way. I recently sold all of my other gloves except my Century Creed bag gloves which I do like a lot but these are........Ferrari gloves. The Leather is better the padding is better the ergonomics the placement of the thumb the protection of the hands even the thumb has a slick aerodynamic sharp look to them compared to "Boxing Brands" gloves which is interesting since this is a Martial Arts brand. Kinda funny. The other gloves I kept are also a Karate brand which are better than the boxing brands that I recently sold on Craigslist. Lol anyways these are a real winner! No Joke buy them and you won't regret it. I found Ring to Cage by accident on youtube watching glove reviews and I took a chance and I am soooo glad I did. When I like a brand I'm very loyal. I like Ringside/Combat Sports, Century and now RING TO CAGE! Buy them you cannot go wrong with these gloves or any of their products. I bought the air punch mitts and left a review also. This company is top notch and the guy on the phone is a very nice guy. I like Ring to Cage so much if they were hiring in the San Francisco Bay area where I live I would apply.
Scary good gloves.

Posted by Fabio S. on 14th Oct 2015

After buying this pair of gloves it makes me wonder if those big companies are charging us way too much for their gloves because this glove, is incredibly crafted and equally if not more comfortable then some big name gloves like Everlast reyes etc. Also their customer service here is top notch, Phillipe Frederique was in store, And was very helpful, makes you feel like you are actually a valued customer.
Excellent gloves

Posted by John M. Suisun City/Fairfield, Ca. on 31st Aug 2015

The quality is great everything from the leather to the padding to the stitching to the unique thumb and positioning. 5 stars.
Top notch!

Posted by Jlvolpicelli on 1st Jul 2015

i have owned many different brands of gloves over the years. These gloves exceeded my already high expectations right out of the box. The leather is top notch and the padding is excellent without being too bulky. I am a hard hitter and have experienced hand problems with other so called high end gloves in the past but that is not the case with the C 17's! I have large hands and purchased the 12 oz in blue for mostly bag and mitt work. These gloves give a nice satisfying "pop" sound on the heavy bag. If I had one criticism and this isn't really an issue - the blue color is not deep as it pears on the website. Overall I could not be happier with these gloves. I will defiantly be purchasing more in the future.
Saved My Wrists And Hands

Posted by Brandon K. on 1st Jul 2015

As a former amateur, I have always used boxing training to stay in shape. Nearing my forth decade on earth, I was certain I would have to call it quits because of chronic hand and wrist soreness/pain. Because no other exercise is as enjoyable or keeps me in the shape boxing does, I searched far and wide for the glove that offered the protection I needed. In the last year alone, I tried gloves from Title, Ringside, Reyes, Boon, and Fairtex. While all top-notch gloves, none of them addressed my hand issues. Alas, I thought my boxing days were done...Then I discovered Ring to Cage. For the first time in over a year, my hands don't hurt the day after boxing training. I can lay into the bag with full power without worry. In fact, I just put in 10 rounds last night! In addition to the incredible hand protection (by far the most protective glove I've ever used), the C-17 are properly balanced and weighted, and therefore feel a lot lighter than their 16 ounces. These are, without a doubt, the best boxing gloves I have ever owned. I can't recommend them highly enough -- especially for boxers with hand issues like me.
comfortable great gloves.nice padding

Posted by Unknown on 12th Jun 2015

Everything is great.superb quality! Except its a little abit wide and spacious.gotta use thicker handwraps to feel more snug but not tight.overall its a very good glove and great colours too!
Great protection, terrific quality and value

Posted by Daniel Zampini on 31st May 2015

I've used these gloves in 16 oz for about a month and have had no problems with them. Comfortable thumb placement. High-quality materials and construction. Comfortable and efficient padding. I've had trouble in the past with injected foam gloves (bruised knuckles) and these gloves have removed the issue entirely. Nice striking surface that gives you that clear "pop" on the bag or mitts.
Excellent

Posted by Daniel on 8th May 2015

As a long time hardcore fan of Winning gloves, this inspired model of them is a great alternative for a fraction of the price.

The comfort and protection is virtually identical to Winning. Difference being is that these are a bit wider in shape.

The unknown to me so far is the durability comparison, as I haven't used them enough to compare.
awesome gloves

Posted by Unknown on 4th May 2015

I have never had a glove this comfortable or this high quality for this price. They are definitely the best bang for your buck when it comes to boxing gloves.
