Hayabusa Hybrid MMA Sparring Gloves: Kit Review

Over the last few years Hayabusa have built a solid reputation for high quality and innovative MMA products.

Andrew Farrell, a fighter and head coach from the Farrell MMA camp, has been wearing the Hayabusa Hybrid MMA Sparring gloves over the last month. Below is Andy’s review.

Construction: 9/10
I have been wearing the Hayabusa Hybrid gloves for a while now and I have to say that they are an impressive piece of kit. Extremely well put together and they stood up to quite a battering over the weeks.

Comfort: 9/10
The dual closure and shape of the gloves mean that the fit is fantastic. Whether striking or grappling the glove stays in place and is very comfortable to roll in.

Performance: 9/10
I don’t have a bad word to say about the performance of the Hayabusa Hybrid glove. Yes they are a little more expensive than some of the other gloves on the market but they do their job perfectly. The padding isn’t too bulky and there is plenty of flexibility within the glove meaning that grappling isn’t a problem. The level of knuckle protection and wrist support is another huge plus for these gloves.

Design: 9/10
Hayabusa don’t tend to be too in your face and the Hybrid gloves are no exception. Nice detailing but not too brash.

Overall: 36/40
For many of the scores I could quite easily have given a 10 but perfection is very rare. These are a very good sparring glove and I would highly recommend them to anyone training in MMA. Yes there are cheaper gloves on the market but the Hayabusa Hybrid is worth a little extra money.
