Wouldn't agree 100%.... some of the leather stuff Fightlord get made is from there and is great quality!

The problem is that some shops tend to sell the cheapest lowest quality crap they can buy from pakistan to make huge profit.

maeve we'll agree to disagree:)

I don't think your brain has ever been short a few hits from a good pair of gloves paddy.

Didn't want to start a whole new thread because its similar but if it needs to be moved, sorry.

Does anyone know where i could pick up a karate top in dublin city centre? Any idea how much you'd expect to pay for an adult size one?

Thanks!

It really surprised me to find out how many well known brands (including one you mentioned above) get their gear made in pakistan or buy their leather from there. So although you might think some gear is made in Thailand, it's not.

If you're talking about leather, Fightlords own brand stuff is pretty good for the price, we're really happy with the quality. The new leather sock type shin insteps are great, and we're very happy with the new mma gloves. The leather boxing gloves are bought by some of the top boxing coachs in Ireland. If they're happy with them, then thats all that matters.

When you say you've never seen any good gear from fightlord.... i'd be interested to know what products you didn't like? or am i misreading what you typed?
