What Boxing Gloves Should a Beginner Use?

It's important to choose the right glove size for your hands. If they're too big, they'll be more likely to slip off your hands during training, and if they're too small, they may not offer enough protection for your wrist. It also depends on what kind of training you’re doing, whether it's bag work or sparring. Generally for sparring you want a heavier glove, as this offers more protection for yourself and your sparring partner. There is a trade off- the heavier the boxing gloves, the harder the workout! If you’re just starting out, maybe opt for synthetic leather boxing gloves as these are more affordable and you can get a feel for what you like before spending too much. A glove designed to  multi-purpose is also going to be a great option.

What Boxing Gloves Do Pros Use?

Pros tend to prefer leather boxing gloves. That's because they’re more durable, last longer and are an overall high-quality construction. However leather gloves also cost more which can vary between $70-500+ depending on the brand and style. Pro boxers may also opt for lace up boxing gloves for competitions where that may be a requirement.  You may also want to modify how tight the glove sits, or you may just appreciate the old school look and feel.

What Boxing Gloves Size or Weight Should I Buy?

The weight of your boxing gloves is going to depend on the size of your hands, and what type of training/sparring you’re doing and possibly the requirements of your gym, competition or coach. Generally for bag work you want a lighter glove 8oz-12oz depending on your weight. Whereas for sparring you’ll want to choose a heavier pair of gloves 12oz-18oz again depending on your weight. Not all glove weights are equal! While a bag glove may be 16oz the construction will be very different from a 16oz sparring glove – this is because the placement and layering of the foam will be optimized for either activity. And remember the heavier the boxing gloves, the harder the workout!

Which is Better Synthetic Leather or Leather Boxing Gloves?

Synthetic leather is more economical, while leather is more durable. However, synthetic leather gloves tend to be less breathable, which can make your hands sweat more. Leather gloves are also usually heavier than their synthetic counterparts. This can be good or bad depending on the kind of workout you're doing—if you're trying to build muscle mass through heavy lifting, then a heavier glove will help you lift more weight; if you're just doing cardio, then a lighter glove will give you greater range of motion.

What Boxing Gloves Are the Best For Training?

If you're serious about boxing, then you know that the right pair of gloves can make all the difference. They're the first thing to put on, and the last thing to take off. They're what protect your hands from injury, and they help you hit harder and faster.

But there are so many different kinds of gloves out there! How do you choose which ones are best for your training needs?

The first thing to consider is the weight of the glove. A heavier glove will give you more protection against injury but may be slower to move than a lighter one. If you're just starting out and want something lighter, or if you have smaller hands, try a 12 ounce glove or less. 16 ounce gloves are the most common size purchased and a fantastic all-rounder size.
