FAQS

• Why do boxers wear gloves?
  • Comprising 27 bones and 28 muscles, human hands are highly delicate and vulnerable to injury. They are particularly susceptible to acute injuries arising from direct trauma. Striking another person with bare hands can result in grave injury. Wearing boxing gloves thus protects boxers’ hands from trauma as gloves reduce the impact of shock, preventing finger joint displacement whilst providing wrist support.
• How do you wash boxing gloves?
  • Bacteria thrive in dark, warm, and moist environments. This makes boxing gloves the ultimate bacterial breeding ground due to the sweat they accumulate during training sessions. When it comes to your boxing equipment, proper aftercare and maintenance are essential to ensuring proper hygiene and care. While machine washing your gloves will provide some level of cleansing, doing so may damage your gloves. We recommend generously coating your gloves with anti-bacterial spray after each training session and leaving them to dry in an open and well-ventilated area. Freezing your gloves overnight is also an effective bacterium eliminating method. Simply place your gloves in a plastic bag and leave them to freeze overnight before removing them to air-dry.
• What size boxing gloves do I need?
  • Wearing the right size boxing glove is essential in executing safe and effective training and sparring, as wearing the wrong size can result in hindered performance and serious injuries. Boxing gloves are available in a variety of weights, ranging from 6oz youth gloves to 20oz heavyweight gloves. Your height, weight and circumference of your dominant hand will determine what size boxing glove you need. If you are between two sizes and would prefer a tighter fit, we recommend opting for the smaller size. It is of the utmost importance to ensure your gloves wrap around your hands snug and secure.
