Reddit mentions of Fairtex Ultimate MMA Gloves - Black - Large

I won't recommend brands because there are plenty of recommendations already, I wanted to point out a couple of aspects you might consider when choosing the gloves you are both wearing.

Go with open tyle MMA gloves for now, if you get serious about your training you should then consider getting a pair of 16oz sparring gloves, and a pair of gloves for bag work (so you don't compress the padding in your sparring gloves and put your training partners at undue risk).

Back to the MMA gloves; keep it simple in terms of the wrapping around your wrist; velcro is fine and should be easy to apply firmly but not so tight your blood flow feels at all restricted. You will have times where you're expected to put them on at short notice, so they should be quick and easy to put on, or swap out with focus mitts or other kinds of pad you may end up holding.

Second point, make sure they are sized correctly. If they are too big (think if you're looking at the top of your hand, that they are too broad across the knuckle line) you will find they get in the way when you try to grab and control your partners during clinches and any grappling drills. I would also recommend that you get gloves with a relatively 'low' profile (ie not TOO much padding over the knuckle). They aren't there to ultimately protect your partner from being knocked out, they're there to protect your hands and their face from unnecessary damage during TRAINING. If you find you and your partners want to throw with more intensity, it is definitely time to buy sparring gloves. MMA gloves and a mouth piece give you both the margin for error that allows you to practice making contact with your strikes, without causing lasting damage to your partner.

Personally, I bought these first and found they were too bulky (sizing error and partially their design):

And then moved onto a pair of these at a more appropriate size
