Twins bag gloves

Most of our customers actually don't want to buy more than 1 pair of boxing gloves, although that is usually the best choice . If you regularly train on a punching bag (or on hand pads), it is really wiser to purchase separate bag gloves for that. Both pairs will also last much longer as a result.

Advantages of bag gloves on the punching bag:

• Bag gloves have a flatter striking surface and flatter padding, which transmits less impact to the wrists with correct technique
• Bag gloves are smaller and lighter. This allows you to punch much faster and more precisely.
• Your sparring boxing gloves will last much longer because the padding is not destroyed on the punching bag.
• Bag gloves usually last much longer on a punching bag

Bag gloves and boxing gloves are both used in (kick)boxing training but serve different purposes and have distinct features.

Bag gloves are specially designed for punching bag training and pad work. They have less padding and often less wrist support, providing more feedback and faster combination possibilities.

Boxing gloves, on the other hand, are used for sparring and possibly competitions, focusing on protection and safety with thicker padding and more wrist support.

Features of bag gloves:

• Purpose: specially designed for punching bags and pad training to enhance speed and precision.
• Padding: less padding compared to boxing gloves for more impact feedback. The materials are of much higher density to withstand repeated impact.
• Wrist support: less wrist support to promote proper punching technique. However, this is not always the case; many Rival bag gloves have excellent wrist support (Wrist-Lock 2).
• Fit: smaller and tighter fit for better wrist stabilization.
• Weight: lighter for faster punches and combinations. Usually 8 oz or 10 oz.
• Design: usually has a loose thumb and sometimes no Velcro or laces for quick on and off.

Bag gloves, which are used for training on a punching bag or pads, are usually much lighter than sparring gloves.

They are typically somewhere between 6 oz and 12 oz (170 to 340 grams).

Unlike regular boxing gloves, bag gloves are usually offered in standard sizes like S, M, L, and XL instead of ounces, because they are designed to fit the boxer’s hand well.

For comparison: Sparring gloves are usually between 12 oz and 18 oz (340 and 520 grams), with much more padding for protection during training with a partner.
