Guide Review - NextMove Gear Level 3 MMA Glove

NextMove Gear has developed a reputation in the industry for selling excellent and really listening to the fighter's needs when developing products. They have certainly outdone themselves with their level 3 mma training gloves.

These gloves are made of leather on the outside and a really great padding that, according to the manufacturer, is the same material the military uses to protect cargo when it gets dropped from an airplane. After feeling and using these gloves, I believe it. The padding is firm, and yet has enough give to it to really protect your knuckles and also protect your sparring partner from unnecessary damage in training. You will feel the blows, but not the knuckles on your face.

The best feature about these gloves is that you don't have to switch gloves from one exercise to another. They are flexible and have an open palm design for grappling. They have plenty of padding and are durable enough for many rounds on the heavy bag, and they have enough mobility and that open palm, so that you can do pushups or lift weights with the gloves on. That really is a timesaver!

If you are looking for a quality training glove that does it all, take a good hard look at the stuff NextMove Gear offers. The owner is a really nice guy who goes out of his way to offer the best products and excellent service to all of his customers.
