How to Choose the Right Size Boxing Gloves
Boxing gloves come in various sizes, typically ranging from small to extra-large. The right size depends on the circumference of your hand, measured around the knuckles. Here’s a simple guideline:
- Small Gloves (6 to 7.5 inches):Ideal for people with smaller hands.
- Medium Gloves (7.5 to 8.5 inches):Suitable for most average-sized hands.
- Large Gloves (8.5 to 9.5 inches):For those with larger hands.
- Extra-Large Gloves (9.5 inches and above):For the biggest hand sizes.
How to Measure Your Hand Size:
- Use a flexible tape measure.
- Wrap the tape around your hand at the knuckles.
- Note the circumference and use the guide above to find your size.
.Boxing gloves typically range in weight from 10 oz. to 18 oz. The weight you choose will depend on the type of training you’re doing:
- 10-12 oz. Gloves: Best for bag work, mitts, and pad training. These gloves are lighter and allow for quick, precise movements.
- 14-16 oz. Gloves: Ideal for sparring. These gloves offer more padding to protect both you and your sparring partner.
- 16-18 oz. Gloves: Often used by heavier fighters or for those seeking additional protection during intense sparring sessions.
Tip: The more padding a glove has, the heavier it will be, which is crucial for absorbing force and protecting your knuckles.
Choosing the right weight for your boxing gloves depends on your body weight, hand size, and the type of training you’ll be doing. Here’s a quick guide:
- < 126 lbs.:12-14 oz. gloves
- 127-160 lbs.:14-16 oz. gloves
- 161-180 lbs.:16-18 oz. gloves
- 181 lbs. and over:18 oz. gloves
