Boxing Training Gloves

Boxing Training Gloves are basic equipment in boxing, designed to balance "protection" and "functionality", suitable for daily training, technical polishing, strength enhancement, and basic protection. Compared to competition gloves, training gloves focus more on durability, breathability, and flexibility, while meeting the needs of boxers with different weights, training stages, and goals through weight grading (8oz-16oz). The core of its design is to "improve training efficiency and reduce the risk of injury", especially suitable for beginners, strength enhancement, and high-intensity sandbag strikes.

2、 Core features and data-driven analysis

Weight grading and cushioning performance

Technical parameters:

8oz gloves: Each weighing 225 grams ± 5 grams, suitable for children or female boxers weighing 45-55 kilograms.

12oz gloves: Each weighing 340 grams ± 8 grams, suitable for amateur boxers weighing 55-70 kilograms.

16oz gloves: weighing 450 grams ± 10 grams per piece, standard for boxers weighing over 70 kilograms and sandbag training.

Buffer layer structure:

"Sandwich cushion design" is adopted: outer layer of high-density EVA (hardness 50 Shore A)+middle layer of gel filling+inner layer of memory sponge, with impact absorption rate ≥ 85% (15% higher than that of ordinary gloves).

The finger joint area is thickened to 3.2 centimeters, and the wrist support system provides a fixed force of 40-60 Newton (which increases with weight).

Protective and supportive

Technical parameters:

Wrist support: Models above 12oz adopt a combination structure of "double spiral steel plate+memory cotton", which increases torsional strength by 30%.

Palm friction coefficient: 0.75 (25% higher than regular gloves), more stable when holding sandbags.

Design Highlights:

The thumb protector has been widened to 3 centimeters to reduce the risk of thumb sprains (which account for 22% of novice training).

The palm is equipped with a "pressure dispersing grid". When the grip strength exceeds 150 Newtons, the inner lining will disperse the pressure through microstructure deformation to prevent muscle fatigue.

Breathability and Comfort

Technical parameters:

Surface material: microfiber leather (with a wear resistance of 30000 friction tests), with an 80% increase in tear strength.

Palm breathable hole: Adopting a "radial+circular" dual channel design, the air circulation rate is increased by 50%, and the sweat evaporation rate is accelerated by 40%.

Design Highlights:

Reserve 1.5 millimeters of activity space in the finger area to avoid numbness of the fingertips caused by prolonged training (increased by 20% compared to regular gloves).

The lining is made of "3D honeycomb structure antibacterial fabric", with an antibacterial rate of 99.9%, a 60% increase in moisture absorption and sweat wicking speed, and an 80% reduction in residual odors after a single training session.

Durability and Maintenance

Technical parameters:

Surface anti UV treatment: prevents black materials from fading due to light oxidation, extending their service life by 150%.

Suture strength: Using Kevlar thread and nylon composite thread, the tensile strength reaches 180 Newtons (200% higher than ordinary suture).

Design Highlights:

The palm area has added a "double-layer wear-resistant patch", which improves tear resistance by 120% and is suitable for high-strength sandbag strikes.

Detachable lining design, supporting separate cleaning and replacement, reducing maintenance costs (reducing single cleaning costs by 50%).

3、 Application Fields and Scenario Analysis

Beginner's Introduction and Basic Training

Core requirements: Lightweight, flexible, and protective.

Recommended models: 8oz-10oz children's/women's gloves, or 12oz entry-level gloves.

User case: A boxing club coach stated that using 12oz gloves for beginners can reduce the risk of injury by 30%, while improving grip stability through moderate weight.

Strength Enhancement and Sandbag Strike

Core requirements: emphasis on design, impact resistance, and training efficiency.

Recommended model: 14oz-16oz weighted gloves, equipped with a "weighted wrist strap" to help the boxer increase hitting power and stability.

User case: Fitness coach feedback that 16 ounce gloves can simulate the resistance of hitting opponents in real situations, and when combined with sandbag training, can increase punching explosive power by 15%.

Technical action polishing and speed training

Core requirements: lightweight, flexibility, and precise feedback.

Recommended model: 10oz-12oz lightweight gloves with a "low-density buffer layer" to enhance punching speed and agility.

User case: A professional boxer stated that the 12 ounce glove can perceive hit points more clearly during speed training, helping to optimize technical movements.

Home Fitness and Daily Protection

Core requirements: cost-effectiveness, ease of use, basic protection.

Recommended model: 12oz-14oz universal gloves, suitable for home punching sandbags or skipping rope training.

User case: Fitness enthusiasts have reported that 14 ounce gloves provide sufficient cushioning during home training while avoiding noise disturbance.

4、 Selection suggestions and precautions

Choose based on weight and training objectives:

Children/female boxers: prioritize choosing 8oz-10oz gloves to ensure flexibility.

Amateur boxer: 12oz is recommended for 55-70kg, 14oz-16oz is recommended for 70kg and above.

Strength Trainer: If you need to enhance your striking power, you can try the 16oz Heavy Duty version; If focusing on technical movements, it is recommended to use 12oz gloves alternately.

Pay attention to hand shape adaptation and wearing comfort:

For Asian hand shapes, it is recommended to choose size L (12oz) or XL (16oz), while for European and American hand shapes, it is recommended to choose size M (12oz) or L (16oz).

When trying on, make sure there is sufficient space in the palm of your hand, and your fingers should bend naturally to avoid being too tight and obstructing blood circulation (it is recommended to reserve 1-1.5 centimeters of activity space).

Pay attention to material and craftsmanship details:

The surface material should preferably be microfiber leather or natural cowhide to avoid the cracking problem of PU material.

The lining material should have antibacterial and moisture absorbing functions to reduce the growth of odors (silver ion fiber fabric is recommended).
