New Gloves

Recommended Posts

I currently have Mission M-1's, I prefer a looser glove with a wide cuff, quick breakin. I have been looking at the MIA's on their website but have never put any on. Looking for advice/opinions on MIA's / XXX / and Eagles, or anything else that would fit what I am looking for.

The TPS, Vapor XXX, and MIAs are all great gloves with wide openings at the cuff. You can't go wrong wit any of them. I own both the MIA MB33 14" and the Vapor XXX. I love them both.

I have been leaning towards the mb22 but have yet to find a pair to try on. I would really like to try some before I spend that much, my local lhs does not carry them.

Few LHS carry MIA. They fit JUST like an Eagle glove, so if you can try on a X70 glove....you pretty much know how an MIA will fit.

XXX's are far from loose fitting.

There isn't a glove on the market that offers more wrist mobility.

The big difference between the X70 and mb22 is the angled back rolls on the X70. Personally, I like straight back rolls because it makes the glove more comfortable in the knuckles. I love my mb22s and I would definitely recommend them in this case

Edit- Spelling.

I use Vapor Xs. It's not that I don't want to spend the extra money on the XXXs. The Xs are very comfortable and durable. I have had these for about a year and there has been no ripping at all.

The XXXs are like medium tight in the hand but has a huge wrists flair, not really what I'd call loose fitting.

TPS tends to be about the same as the XXXs but without the HUGE flair.

Eagles and MIA(from what I hear, never tried MIAs) are loose fitting.

IMO, Eagle x70 is the way to go. Once you start to use them and get used to them you'll be sorry you haven't had them in the past. Anybody who has them will tell you how great a glove they are. Very light,durable, and comfortable, with little (if any) break in time..you can't go wrong. I swear by them and won't use anything else.

yeah if you could find a pair of canadian x70s then go for them but IMO MIA's are pretty much a better glove ive used both eagle and MIA and the MIA's feel much smoother on the hand and have a much nicer selection of palms

Thanks for all the help and opinions. I am going to order the MIA's, it sounds like they are what I am looking for. I'll let you know how it turns out.

MIA gloves are really comfy, plus the rep's are really friendly and can help you out in choosing what materials you want. I ended up getting the kangaroo goat palms on my MB11's, which makes the glove fit like an actual leather glove.

On another note, all you guys with MIA's as well, what palms did you guys buy?

I also am looking for a new pair of gloves. Where are a few good places online for the MIA gloves? I'm coming from a pair of Eagle x50 and a pair of Mission Icon (roller).

You can order them from MIA's website. I would have just bought a pair online, but some of the stores I've seen including my LHS carries a lot of hideous colors so I just custom ordered mine. They did have Hossa's Slovakia MIA gloves which I was tempted to get but the colors don't match my other stuff and they say SVK instead of MIA. Also, I don't think my friends would like me wearing slovakian gloves lol
