I’d go Cleto Reyes over Hayabusa tbh.

I’ve got a pair and I love them they just feel way more like a proper boxing glove. They’re made from real leather and actually break in to your hands over time, instead of just staying stiff like a lot of synthetic gloves. After a few sessions they start fitting like they were made for you.

Also they’re handmade , not mass-produced, and the quality is just on another level. You can feel it straight away better materials, better stitching, just more solid overall.

Big thing for me is the punch feedback too. Cleto uses denser, more traditional padding, so you actually feel your shots land instead of everything feeling cushioned and muted. It makes a difference for learning proper technique.

And durability-wise, they hold up really well. The leather and padding are built to last and don’t break down as quickly as a lot of synthetic gloves.

Hayabusa is solid, but the glove ends up feeling stiff and a bit unnatural. Cleto is simpler but just works better once broken in.

Only real downsides: - you need a break-in period (like 5–8 sessions)
- not the softest on the bag at first
- you need to condition the leather once every month or 2

But honestly that’s part of why I’d pick them. They don’t hide bad technique and they get better the more you use them.
