What is the best mma sparring gear?

Question

i'm into mma and i', starting look at different gear and theirs so much out there to see. which is some of the best gear (Ever Last)

(Twins) (Prime Time) (Combat Sport) or any other thats out there

Answer 1

Do NOT buy Everlast - it's c**p!  (AKA Neverlast)

Title/Throwdown is good quality gear for a reasonable price.  I have Title headgear, boxing gloves, and bag gloves and Throwdown Shin/insteps and love them (Throwdown is Title's MMA brand)

Twins is also good quality - I don't have personal experience with it, but 2 guys in my gym like it a lot.

Combat Sport is good - they do some good leather, but I've seen the cheap stuff get worn out fast.

My absolute favorite is Fairtex - it's a little more costly, but all leather construction, firm padding inside, excellent velcro type closures that hold up and great durability and fit.  I am upgrading to Fairtex on all my new gear as I wear out my old stuff - I already have Fairtex MMA Gloves, Thai Pads, Shin/insteps and won't buy any other brand (assuming Fairtex makes the item).  

Brain Pad does good mouthpieces if you don't want to get a custom one made.

Shock-Jock and Under Armor make great compression shorts with a cup-holder built in. Jock straps are horrible to me, so I prefer the compression short.

Under Armour also makes a good rash guard - you can get them at local sport shops, so you don't have to pay freight to ship them.

For everyday stuff RevGear makes very durable gear also - my gym uses Rev as the main "house gear" and it's a solid performer.

I know there are lots of other brands out there (Tapout, Century, etc.) but I've listed the stuff I know about first hand.

Answer 2

I think combat sports is. so far it holds up really well, gloves adn shins at least- can't speak for other peices.
