I hate gloves that have padding on the palms because it makes it harder for me to clench my fist. I hate gloves that seem "pointed" at the knuckle area because it makes it easier for my wrist to bend upon impact. I think of training gloves as gloves you don't have to take off once during training. I hate heavy bag mitts because they seem more suited to hitting the pads with the tiny bit of padding they provide. I used to have alot of problems with my right wrist as I had injured it before skateboarding and riding bikes until I stopped wearing heavy bag mitts and got myself a pair of 12 oz then 16 oz gloves. I wear 16 oz Fairtex leather hook and loop gloves at the moment. I like them because they dont have any padding on the palms and the wrist is well supported. People will go for products that deal with their problems. I don't really need additional padding for my knuckles even when I wrap becuse the main problem I get is with the right wrist but since I started wearing proper gloves I haven't had the same problem. I wouldn't buy gloves over the internet even if I had tried the same pair on at a shop. A hand injury can take you out of the game for months and even force you to change your style. I think a good way to break into the market would be if you contacted some local trainers and started making them some gear with their club logo on it so there would be an incentive for them to sell your products to their fighters. You could get quality feedback from the trainers or directly from the fighters themselves. After awhile you could sponsor a fight night and set up shop at the event. If you want to get a good idea of what people are after with gloves ask them how they wrap their hands. Headgear that provided wider peripheral vision would be great too.
