#KakoaSports

I’ve been in the market for some new 16 ounce gloves, so I thought I’d check out this new company; Kakoa. The design on the gloves and the colors incorporated into them are fantastic and were one of the driving factors in testing these ones out. They are an all-purpose glove, so they could be used for bag work, sparring, mitt work, etc. The company vision is nice as well; create a healthy lifestyle for yourself and design a flexible way of life. This is something everyone should take to heart. As per the norm, the FBA ordering, shipping, and packaging was on point and everything arrived on time and intact. This set comes with a pair of 16oz gloves, two sleeves, and they were packaged in a plastic bag. The design is very nice in person and they feel like every other pair of gloves I’ve had. When trying them on for the first time, without hand wraps, I found them to be a little big and slightly flimsy around the wrists. After wrapping my hands up I can say that the room I had inside went down and they were a little more snug. I’m not sure if I like the feel of the wrists or not, since to me it almost feels like if they were to rip they would rip at the wrists around the seam. I’ve only had the chance to do a few bag workouts with them and they held up pretty well. They aren’t quite as comfortable as my Winning or Hayabusa gloves, or as sturdy, but they are a good and cheaper alternative. So as I said, I probably wouldn’t wear these without hand wraps, and my hand size is large to extra-large. But other than those things, I think they are a good entry-level MMA or boxing gloves. If these are their first line of gloves, they did a great job; but I would expand on those two negatives.
