Who This Glove Is For
The Hayabusa S4 Leather is the genuine leather upgrade of the entry-level S4 line. Same single-strap velcro closure, same injection-molded foam padding, same single-splint wrist support — but the shell is 100% genuine leather instead of engineered PU. The $20 price bump unlocks meaningful long-term durability for fighters who train regularly. For beginners on a slightly larger budget or fighters who want a leather Hayabusa glove without going up to T3 LX or Pro pricing, this is the bridge product. Pre-curved interior and ergonomic thumb positioning carry over from the standard S4. 7 colorways available.
Who It's Not For
- Sparring (basic wrist structure unchanged)
- Buyers wanting multi-layered foam
