They feature an open-thumb loop that allows for greater thumb mobility and makes it easier to grab an opponent during clinches or takedowns. The gloves feature a patented open-palm design with split knuckles and the signature open-thumb loop designed for optimal grappling control with minimal restriction. Made from premium quality leather, they incorporate Fairtex’s signature three-layered foam core system for outstanding hand and knuckle protection with excellent shock absorption.
