Which boxing glove should I choose?

To get the best workout, it's important to choose the right equipment. This also applies to boxing gloves! Here's a guide to the different types of boxing gloves to help you choose the right gloves for your workout.

Sparring gloves

If you are training with others, sparring boxing gloves are probably what you will use the most. These are well suited for sparring and paddling, and have good padding to protect your opponent.

Choose a pair that suits your style, and be sure to choose a pair with the right weight (oz) for you.

Fighting gloves

If you are going to fight, you will need your own gloves. You often don't buy these yourself, but the organizer of the event has gloves for the participants to use. These have less padding than sparring gloves.

In combat there are separate rules, but you can still train with a pair of combat gloves to get used to the feeling. This type of gloves can also be a good alternative to bag gloves.

Fitness gloves

Fitness gloves or training boxing gloves are simpler boxing gloves that are not specifically designed for boxers. They do not have the same features as sparring gloves, but can be handy if you only do a little boxing as part of your training routine. They can also be great as boxing gloves for children.

Look

It's not always possible to tell the difference between boxing gloves and what they're suitable for. Therefore, familiarize yourself with the type of glove before you choose.

Price

You get what you pay for, by and large. A cheap glove is more simply constructed and uses cheaper materials. A more expensive glove has more details that you will appreciate over time, and is made of materials that are more durable and protect you better.

Brand

It is also important to consider the brand of the boxing gloves – a well-known brand like VENUM and TOP TEN that has a high reputation for quality can make better gloves for the same price than any fitness equipment manufacturer. Also, be sure to check out tests and reviews from others who use the gloves to get an impression of the quality.
