Choosing the right gloves isn’t just about size — it’s about finding the perfect balance between protection, performance, and comfort. Here’s what to keep in mind:

1. Weight & Purpose

• 8–10 oz – Ideal for competitions and high-speed training.
• 12–14 oz – Great for bag work and general fitness training.
• 16 oz and up – Best for sparring, offering extra protection for you and your partner.

2. Fit & Size
Gloves should feel snug but not tight. Your fingers shouldn’t be cramped, and your wrist should feel well-supported. Always try them on with wraps if you wear them during training.

3. Type of Training
Are you sparring, hitting the bag, or just doing cardio boxing? Each purpose may require a different glove — don’t use competition gloves for heavy bag work, as they wear out faster.

4. Closure Type

• Velcro – Easy to take on and off; perfect for solo training.
• Lace-up – Offers a tighter fit; usually preferred for fights or serious sparring.

5. Material

• Synthetic leather – Affordable and great for beginners.
• Genuine leather – More durable, breathable, and long-lasting.

Bonus Tip: If you’re unsure, start with 14 oz — it’s the most versatile weight for general use.
