Booster boxing gloves

Boxing gloves have a limited lifespan. After all, they are used for hitting, and boxing gloves often take quite a beating.

Of course, you can influence their lifespan yourself by treating them with care and boxing gloves properly care for them. Don’t throw them in a corner; take them out of your sports bag and let them dry properly (not in direct sunlight).

Boxing gloves are not sized according to “normal” sizes, but by weight, expressed in ounces (oz).

Each brand and model of boxing glove on our website has a unique size chart (next to the size selection and at the bottom under the product details). Here, we provide the best guideline we can on what we think is the best choice for you. for that specific model.

The rule of thumb is: “the heavier the person in question, the heavier the glove they should use”. A heavier boxing glove generally has more padding and is therefore safer for both the hands and the training partner. Trainers also generally prefer you to have heavier boxing gloves rather than lighter ones.

In short, young people train with 6 oz, 8 oz, or 10 oz boxing gloves. Women usually choose 12 oz or 14 oz, and men often do best choosing 14 oz or 16 oz. Target groups 

4 oz – 10 oz = Children's sizes
10 oz – 12 oz = Juniors and women
14 oz – 16 oz = Men’s sizes

4 oz – 10 oz = Kindermaten
10 oz – 12 oz = Junior en Dames
14 oz – 16 oz = Heren

Actually, there is no difference.

Some brands are more focused on boxing, while others are more focused on kickboxing and thai boxing. 

There are some minor differences, but in practice you can use boxing gloves for kickboxing and kickboxing gloves for boxing.

No.

There are not really any dedicated women's boxing gloves. Boxing gloves are unisex, but women usually simply choose a lighter boxing glove (that is, a smaller size). These are available in various color combinations.

Women generally have somewhat narrower hands than men, so it is better not to choose a boxing glove that is too heavy. We have created a separate selection within our range of boxing gloves that are more suitable for women because of their fit.

Wearing inner gloves is recommended for young children who sweat a lot. The sweat is absorbed by the inner gloves, which you can then wash. This keeps the gloves fresh for longer.

For older children, we recommend wearing handwraps. These provide more support and protection. It is up to the trainer to decide what is best.

Yes.

Wearing inner gloves is always recommended for women. In addition to reinforcing your hands, they serve another (hygienic) purpose. The sweat is absorbed by the inner gloves, which you can then wash. This keeps your gloves fresher and in better condition for longer.

It is even better to wear handwraps. They provide more support and protection. It may seem complicated to put them on, but you'll get the hang of it quickly. For handwraps, we often include links to instructional videos on the product pages so you can learn how to wrap them in advance.

Another very popular option is to wear gel-wraps. They offer the convenience of inner gloves, the reinforcement of handwraps, and, as an added benefit, extra cushioning for your knuckles!
