I own both. If you’re doing kickboxing, go with hayabusa, there’s a lot of back of hand/ palm protection. Plus wrist protection for blocking kicks, and after you’ve broken them in they’re pretty good to use to clinch with. They’re alright on the bag but feel a little mushy and springy almost from the IMF foam. They’re also soft enough to spar with. I’ve had them for around a year, and they haven’t really broken down, except for them looking a little faded and the mesh starting to wear a tiny bit. If you’re doing pure boxing, buy the rivals. They have really good wrist support for a glove in its price range and the padding lasts a long time. They sell both a bag and sparring version, but if you want versatility and can only afford one pair, buy the sparring versions. The hayabusas I found aren’t great for boxing, at least the s4 model. They feel weird when you hit the bag and they feel strange as they have a lot of protection on the back of the wrist, something not typical of many boxing gloves.
If you want a good glove for less than $100 here are a few good ones. Pro Impact, Rival Wrist Bolt, Anthem Athletics and Ibro. There are a few to consider.
I dont know why but im from Spain and its extremely difficult to find the S4 at a normal price point because the shipment costs go crazy in every website, any other options that offer that wrist stability the Hayabusa gloves do?
I just read the Hayabusa website. It doesn't call it a bag glove but it says "perfect for bag work and pads" So yeah it's probably technically a bag glove.
I was watching another video on those hyabusa gloves, he said if u use it on bags the gloves padding wears out extremely fast which shouldn’t happen if ur paying that kind of price
I just bought the Hayabusa gloves and with my big hands i found it difficult to get my hands in because of the second strap. BUT… There is always a solution. Cut the second strap like i did, it wont damage anything and then you put the gloves on with absolutely no problem. Feels very comfortable and amazing now!
