When it comes to the different typles of MMA gloves, the choices are not too wide and the feature are not too great either.

Padding can either be for sparring, bag work of competition.

The sparring gloves have more padding than all other gloves. Sparring gloves have finger slots that you old on to the glove padding with, freeing your fingers to grab with. You might think the extra padding is to protect your hands- wrong. To protect your sparring partner…

Bag gloves are pretty much designed so you don’t chew your hand up as they skip accross the face of the striking bag- It’s more of a friction burn. These types of gloves also have a longer wrist wrap that helps support the wrist. The padding is not as great because the striking surface is padded. You don’t need it.

When it come to competition gloves, there are standards.The paddin alone need to weight 4-5 ounces. The knuckles are protected and so too are the backs of the hands. The various fighting leagues have their own standards and their gloves are the only ones you can use.

Appearance

The way a gloves looks is probably one of th most important parts of the shopping experience. I have sold a lot of gloves and the coolness factor is one of the most important feature. The graphic designs range from camo to blood- both very popular. But still, the basic black glove with a good quality logo graphic stamped on it sell pretty good.

Leather or Vinyl

I personally like the leather gloves. The way the material breaths and stretches can’t be compared to vinyl. Vinyl gloves I have found the the edges irritate the shin of t fingers and also cracks with use. They just can’t compare to tough hide. Keep these things in mind in your next mma gloves purchase. What is the purpose of the glove? Sparring, training or competition. How important is the appearance? And finally, spend a couple of extra bucks. The cow hide will be much better on your hands and also last a whole lot longer.
