What should I pay attention to when buying boxing gloves?

When choosing boxing gloves, it is important to pay attention to the right size and fit. The gloves should fit your hands well, but should also not be too tight. In addition, the weight of the gloves is also important.

Lighter gloves are often suitable for speed training, while heavier gloves offer more protection during sparring or competitions. Also choose gloves with good padding to prevent injuries. Finally, don't forget to look at the material and quality of the gloves so that you can enjoy your purchase for a long time.

What size boxing gloves do I need?

Do you want to buy good boxing gloves? Then, of course, the size is not unimportant. The size is expressed in ounces (Oz). 

One Oz is about 28.3 grams. The heavier the glove, the bigger it is.

What size gloves you need depends on the size of your hands. Often, an estimate can also be made based on your body weight or height. In short:

✓ Boxing gloves with higher oz value have more padding, but are heavier and less flexible.

✓ Lighter kickboxing gloves have less padding, but are easier to use because of their lighter weight.
