Truly a pair of gloves worth using. With a find like this, we would like to share with you in detail what it has.
MULTI-LAYERED FOAM PADDING AND ATTACHED THUMB FOR BETTER PROTECTION
Gloves with thick foam are a YES when sparring or training. Windy Thai Sparring Gloves have a multi-layered foam padding arranged in proper density. The way the foam padding is layered provides ample protection without looking bulky. It is designed to support your knuckles and fingers from impact and to give them better resistance. It also aids to cushion your sparring partner’s face and head from your punches.
When sparring, injuries should be avoided at all cost. Having an attached thumb takes away the worry of accidentally poking your sparring partner’s eye with your thumb. And not just that, this also prevents injuring your thumb or worse your wrist.
COMFORTABLE AND LONG LASTING GLOVES
Nobody wants their sparring gloves to break just after a few sparring matches. Durable gloves save you money and time, and in this case leather gloves last longer than vinyl ones. Following Windy’s specifications, strong and flexible premium quality leather was used to construct Windy Thai Sparring Gloves. This ensures that your sparring gloves can withstand the wear and tear of training sessions for a long while.
This pair of gloves are also convenient to wear due to its hook and loop closures. The Windy Thai Sparring Gloves hook and loop closures are pretty easy to wear and remove, and give extra support to your wrists.

POSITIVE - Great craftsmanship
Many were applauding Windy’s commitment to quality, support and durability. Here are some of those reviews:

“My hands with and without hand wraps felt safe and comfortable”
“They are soft, durable and will be GREAT FOR SPARRING. Great wrist support and great craftsmanship.”
These are just but some of the many compliments these gloves had.
NEGATIVE - Subpar leather exterior
One customer pointed out a flaw worth noting: “but the leather used on the overall glove surface is extremely thin and cheap feeling. I wasn’t even sure if it was leather at all.”
For casual boxers, this isn’t noticeable at all because of how much padding the gloves have. There is no question the gloves are made of leather, but upon inspection you’ll certainly where the padding ends and where the leather construct begins.
How does this affect the gloves? For one, it is less durable than the Fairtex, Twins, and Ringside leather boxing gloves. However, they are better than the average Economy boxing glove brands. When you come to think of it, Windy’s price tag is simply justified.
Aside from the customer’s statement, there were no more negative comments about the gloves. Every one was happy with what they got.
