Types of boxing gloves

Not all boxing gloves are created equal. Like many types of boxing equipment, gloves serve different purposes. In order to get the best protection, you’ll need to get the right type of boxing gloves for your needs. 

For anyone interested in the exercise of boxing and not competition, you’ll want to look into bag gloves and bag mitts. These cushion gloves help to protect your hands against heavy strikes on punching bags. The padding means that they aren’t recommended for use in boxing training. They allow you to practice the closed-fist punching technique. Competition boxing gloves are different. Available in different styles, from lace-up gloves to velcro boxing gloves, you can easily find competition and sparring gloves for your needs.

The variety of sizes makes it easy to find the right fit for your hands, with everything from 4 oz to 20 oz available. These gloves are designed to protect boxers during competition and sparring, matching with official regulations.
