Right - thanks for all the input guys.

Based on the info I've got I think I like the idea of the Cletos but I've emailed the company to find out more especially RE the safety features of their AIBA approved gloves. If I find out anything interesting I'll let you know.

I guess I'm thinking that if they last 3 times longer than normal gloves and are a nice tight fit I can get rid of that glove slipping annoyance and save money in the long run since I won't have to replace them as often.

Thanks Diz - I have looked at Ringside but they don't have the AIBA approved Cleto Reyes goves on their web site. I've actually only been able to find one web site which sells them!

It's odd that such a famous gloves is sold by so few stockists and they all only sell a subset of the total range! Now you have mentioned it I'll email them and ask if they can get the other types in.
