All about Cleto Reyes boxing gloves

From model selection and weight advice to maintenance and limited editions — below you will find all the information you need to choose the right Cleto Reyes boxing gloves.

"The Reyes boxing gloves are what you use if you want to knock people out."

The Puncher’s Glove: what makes Cleto Reyes unique

Cleto Reyes boxing gloves are the gold standard in the professional boxing world. The Mexican brand has a legendary status accompanied by a healthy dose of nostalgia—especially when it comes to traditional leather boxing gloves in the highest segment.

In the boxing world, Cletos are known as "punchers gloves": light, balanced, and compact compared to other brands. The secret lies in the unique latex-foam padding that does not absorb moisture (water or sweat) and adapts to your hands with use.

Each glove is handmade by craftspeople with years of experience, using selected leather of the very highest quality. Approved by all boxing federations, featuring a unique production stamp — Made in Mexico.

Velcro Sparring or Lace Closure: Two Models Compared

Fight2Win carries both main Cleto Reyes boxing glove models.

Wrap-Around Sparring Gloves (hook-and-loop closure) — the most popular choice for training and sparring. Easy to put on and take off yourself, with a long cuff for optimal wrist support. Available in 12, 14, 16, and 18 oz. Price range: €299–€399.

Traditional Lace Sparring Gloves (laces) — the classic professional model. The lace-up closure provides a closer, more personalized fit around the wrist. Popular with competitive boxers and enthusiasts of traditional craftsmanship. Available in 12, 14, and 16 oz. Price range: €299–€349.

Both models are made from the same top-quality leather with the same unique latex-foam padding. The difference lies purely in the closure and the feel around the wrist.

Weight guide: which oz is right for you

Cleto Reyes boxing gloves are available in 12 oz, 14 oz, 16 oz, and 18 oz (depending on the model). The right choice depends on your body weight and intended use:

12 oz - lighter boxers (up to ~65 kg), padwork, and technique training

14 oz - the most versatile option, suitable for most adults for sparring and training

16 oz - heavyweights and intensive sparring; extra protection for you and your sparring partner

18 oz - only available in the Velcro Sparring line; for heavy sparring or at the trainer's request

Not sure? When sparring, always choose the higher weight — it provides better protection for both boxers.

Colors and limited editions in the range

The Velcro Sparring line has the widest range of colours: Black, Red, Blue, White, Gold, Silver, Yellow, Green, Orange, Purple, Black-Gold, Black-Jade, Blue-Gold, White-Gold and the popular Mexico colorway. Fight2Win carries as many of the colours and weights available on the European market as possible.

In addition, there are regular Special Editions and Limited Editions:

Steel Snake - steel-grey snakeskin look

Twisted Lime - striking lime green

Stunning Pink - pink version

Pearl - pearl white, also available with a lace-up closure

WBC Limited Edition - green-gold, official WBC colorway

80th Anniversary Vintage - brown retro version commemorating 80 years of Cleto Reyes

The lace-up line is available in: Black, Red, Blue, White, Gold, Silver and Pearl.

Suitable for boxing, kickboxing and thai boxing

Cleto Reyes boxing gloves are primarily designed for boxing and used at the highest professional level. Due to their compact shape, light weight, and excellent wrist support , they are also popular among kickboxing and thai boxing.

They are approved by all major boxing organizations and are used in professional bouts worldwide. They are not suitable for MMA or grappling—for that, you need open-finger gloves .

The gloves are intended exclusively for adults. For children and youth, we recommend the youth boxing gloves in our range.

Care and Lifespan of Leather Boxing Gloves

Cleto Reyes boxing gloves are made of top-quality leather and will last through many intensive training sessions with proper care .A few tips:

After every training session — let the gloves air out completely .Never put them straight into your bag. Use a deodorizer or place a towel inside to absorb moisture.

Leather care — regularly treat the leather with a good leather cream or leather grease to prevent drying out and cracking.

Do not wash — never put the gloves in the washing machine. Wipe the outside with a damp cloth.

Dry storage — store them in a dry, ventilated place, not in direct sunlight.

The latex-foam padding is naturally moisture-resistant, but the leather exterior does require regular care.

How do Cleto Reyes boxing gloves fit?

Cleto Reyes boxing gloves have a snug fit, designed (through the use of latex foam) to adapt to the fighter's hand over time.

They may feel tight at first, especially with handwraps. However, this means that after the "break-in" period, they offer an excellent fit for narrow, regular, and wide hands alike. 

They are known for their firm and even relatively hard padding.

It is important to choose the correct size (not too small), as Cleto Reyes boxing gloves do not offer much extra room, especially with long handwraps.

Collections

What type of padding do Cleto Reyes boxing gloves have?

Latex-foam padding. Latex foam feels soft and is quite flexible, allowing it to adapt well to the shape of the hand.

Cleto Reyes uses latex-foam padding for all sparring gloves, allowing them to conform very well to the user's hands.

Many people mistakenly think that all Cleto Reyes boxing gloves have horsehair padding. Cleto Reyes uses horsehair exclusively in professional competition boxing gloves in 8 oz and 10 oz.
