Sandee MMA Sparring Gloves: Kit Review

Sandee are well known for supplying excellent quality and value for money. The Sandee MMA Sparring glove aims to combine premium quality construction with maximum protection and performance.

Matthew Earnshaw, a fighter from the Farrell MMA camp who will soon be competing in his first Pro fight after 4 years of training and fighting, has been wearing the Sandee MMA Sparring gloves over the last month. Below is Matthew’s review.

Construction: 9/10
I have had Sandee gloves in a number of different varieties and I have always been impressed with the quality and durability. The MMA Sparring gloves are no different. The leather is of very good quality and even after a months worth of training 3-4 times a week the gloves are showing no sign of wear and tear.

Comfort: 9/10
I found these gloves to fit perfectly. When grappling or striking there was no movement at all. There was plenty of flexibility so my grip wasn’t impeded and the wrist support and fastening was also very good.

Performance: 8/10
A lot of the sparring gloves on the market are far too bulky and as a result you lose some flexibility. I also find that the extra bulk can make pulling your hand out of tight holds quite difficult. Thankfully the Sandee gloves don’t suffer from either of these problems. There is a good level of shock protection and padding but it is spread across the hand without losing flexibility.

Design: 6/10
There isn’t much to say about the design of the gloves. They are basically plain black with the Sandee logo on. They are basically a no-nonsense sparring glove.

Overall: 32/40
To sum up the Sandee MMA Sparring gloves I would say the performance, comfort and quality are what counts. They may not look to flashy but if its function and not style you are after (and it should be) then they are a great buy and good value.
