How do these gloves compare to each other? Do they feel similar at all? Any input is appreciated...

the palms on the glads are more leathery compared to the iggys. With the ignitors, you'll have superior grip to that of the glads
This has been discussed at length before, the short of it is: Ignitors better flexibility, Glads better protection.

The gladiators are superior and are great gloves for anybody. The palms are really light on both of them
I'd disagree, I'd take the Ignitors, in addition to them being cheaper. Why?
The thumb on the Glads is awful, it's like a hockey thumb.
The palm on the Glads has less tactile feeling, it's pretty good but we're comparing it to the better Ignitor palm here.
Glads are a bit more cumbersome.
If you don't like taking a ton of abuse on your hands then perhaps the Glads are more for you, but the Ignitors have superior flexibility. Just because they're STX's newest and most expensive design doesn't mean they're any better. Plus you can find Ignitors for a much cheaper price than any of the top line gloves, and IMO they remain the best gloves on the market, but I'm not going to go down that road here.
