The outer is full grain natural leather hide - the same grade Sting uses on its approved competition gloves - chosen to move with the hand through thousands of hours of rounds without cracking. Underneath, the Hi-Flow mould construction dissipates strike energy across the whole glove so your partner takes less of each shot and your hands take less of the return.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lace-up closure is what separates this from the Velcro Viper X: laced properly, the extra-long cuff locks the wrist in a cast-like line from knuckle to forearm, which is why fighters in camp and coaches wrapping their fighters' hands prefer it. The anatomically designed square-shouldered mould sets the fist naturally, and Sting's Comfort 3D PowerX lining manages heat and moisture through long sparring sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho It Suits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFighters preparing for bouts and anyone who spars hard and regularly enough to justify a dedicated lace glove - and who trains with a partner or coach to lace them.
