Cleto Reyes Extra Padding Leather Training Gloves

Managed to have someone bring me two pairs of these in 16oz in from Mexico at half the price about 3 months ago. If you're familiar with Cleto's you know that they have relatively small hand pockets and a break in period for your thumb to fit comfortably. These are definitely redesigned in that the pocket is bigger and is roomy enough for me to comfortably fit padded hand wraps inside with no discomfort from the get go. The thumb pocket is incredibly comfortable without any tightness around the base of your thumb and angled to form a fist much better reducing the risk of hurting your thumb with glancing strikes. The padding is very thick around the knuckles and slightly less firm than your traditional latex foam Cleto's. On my scale they weigh around 18.5 ounces. The wrist support is far less than the RETG1 as the hook and loop strap is a lot higher on the wrist and the cuff a bit shorter, but as a result has a nicer hand fit when strapped. I was pleased to find out they have the same pop if you buy the red ones, I noticed the black pair did not pop as much and I think it has to do with the acrylic leather paint that the reds have vs blacks being just dyed leather that is very soft.

I don't think anyone would complain about these in sparring as the latex foam is thicker and has nice give when pressed, your knuckles should not be going through it unless you're a super heavy and hard sparring and they're great when giving body hooks to those mean hard settled spots on a heavy bag.
