The first thing that is good to know about these gloves is that they are no where near as big as the ones on the picture. I don't know what the producers of mma gloves are thinking about, but all the gloves who used to have padding suitable for intense sparring has cut down the amount of padding used. Both fairtex and kenka says that they used a better padding, but if that is the case why don't they use the same amount of padding and get a better product.
Like all other gloves the padding starts out hard, but gets pretty soft after some time and if you hit hard your opponent might feel the knuckle throughout the padding, but that is not the biggest problem. Area of you hand that is protected by the padding is so small, that if you throw a slightly sloppy hook them thing betwen your knuckle and your partners face is a thin piece of leather. This is both painful for your sparring partner and might end up ruining your hand or cutting your partner.
The feel of the gloves are okay, but the padding sits a little loose on top of the hard, which can be a little annoying. The Kenka gloves does not give much support for the wrist or the hand. Instead it feels more like a pillow strapped to the hand.
The quality of the gloves is fair. The leather is thick on every part of the glove but the lining get worn out after some time, which also count for the elastic band holding it together.
Conclusion
These gloves aren't worth the money. There a tons of other gloves in the same price range that has a lot better padding and feel to them. The quality is not the best, but it is good compared to other gloves in the price range.
My advice is, that is you avoid these gloves you have done your team mates and your selfs a big favor.
