Thread: Twins Gloves, new colour scheme, legit?

Hey guys,

Im treating myself with some new sparring gloves.

I currently use Sandee gloves but will try out a pair from Twins.

On ebay, there are gloves with new colour schemes.

Heres an example:

TWINS Boxing Gloves Muay Thai Kickboxing 16oz UK SELLER on eBay (end time 29-Apr-10 22:10:35 BST)

There are some gloves with a dark blue, red, yellow colour on the palm of the hand but I dont see them anywhere else.

I like them but before I order, even as the pic shows it has a manufacturers tag, I want to know whether they are legit or not.

Can any of you guys help me as to whether theyre good to get please?

Thanks.

I'd be kind of suspicious of someone that sells boxing gloves and performance car parts in the same shop....plus I've not seen that colourway before.

I got a pair of Fairtex from ebay and I think they're fake. Gutted but lesson learned. I want some Sandee now lol.

They look nice and no doubt they'll do the job but having been stung once on ebay for gloves, I'm doubtful...

Yeah, I see what youre saying. Ive actually used the same guy before and bought some Twins anklets off him, theyre sound, was in Twins wrapping too but tbh, I dont how to tell fake from real but they feel good when one and Ive been using them for the past few months without probs.

Just the new scheme is different.

I might just get standard ones, I do like the black and red though, thats the thing.

They look sound to me

:whs although you never know....personally I never chance it when in doubt (served me well so far), better to over pay once than overpay and underpay once each.

That's the point of fakes.

They look sound until inspected/tested.

The fakes ones probably will have better velcro lol. But tbh the price isnt that brilliant, just go for the normal colours, or if any of your training partners are off to thailand this april, get them, to bring a pair back.

I got a pair of twins off ebay and there the best gloves I've ever ownd and I've been thru a few now, unfortunatly I can't remeber the seller sorry!

Marc, what makes you say they are legit?

I agree Si, my thoughts exactly.

rsp, Ive read that about Twins but tbh, Im going to change gloves every 6 months, just for hygiene sake.

Becasue i know someone who has the same pair of gloves, and ive never seen a fake pair of Twins before, why would you want to? Its not going to be very cost effective, its much cheaper to 'Fake a t shirt/pair of jeans etc
