Boxing Gloves

Description

• Weight: Beginners typically start with gloves in the 10oz, 12oz, or 14oz range. The size you choose depends on your weight class and intended use (e.g., bag work, sparring).
  • 10oz: Lighter, typically used for training on the heavy bag or pads.
  • 12oz/14oz: Better for sparring and general training.
• Material: Look for gloves made of synthetic leather (for budget options) or genuine leather (for durability and comfort). Synthetic leather is more common in beginner gloves.
• Padding: Beginner gloves often have softer padding to help with comfort while you’re getting the technique down. Look for gloves that provide a balance between protection and responsiveness.
• Closure: Velcro straps are common in beginner gloves because they’re easier to put on and take off, especially if you’re training by yourself. Lace-up gloves are more secure but require assistance to put on.
• Fit: Make sure the gloves fit snugly but comfortably. They should be snug around the wrist and the hand, but not too tight. Some gloves have additional features like a “breathable mesh” or a “comfort liner” to keep your hands cool.
