I bought them about a year ago. At first i didn't know what I would encounter. in the end, they came out PERFECTLY. At that time, I also bought a pair of gloves from a well-known company, which after two months were torn and in general.. I don't see them making more than another 4 months. The specific gloves are the concept of VFM. I would buy them again for a friend. I i use them in sparring sessions (3x week) and they are FLAWLESS.
