Boxing gloves Twins FBGVL59 Barong

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).

• Thick, multilayer foam padding for optimal protection.

Twins gloves have more padding on the back and side of the hand than a regular boxing glove. They are designed for Thai boxing, but are also suitable for kickboxing and boxing.

That padding is necessary for blocking kicks and backfist strikes. A Twins glove offers slightly less knuckle protection than a "classic" boxing glove of comparable weight. This is because the weight is distributed across other parts of the glove.

Twins boxing gloves generally have a roomy fit and are suitable for both wide and regular hands. Although Twins boxing gloves have a fairly wide fit, they are also suitable for people with "regular" hands. There is enough room to wrap your handwraps properly. 

Hoewel Twins bokshandschoenen redelijk breed vallen, zijn ze ook geschikt voor mensen met "normale" handen. Er is voldoende ruimte om goed je bandages te zwachtelen.

They are known for their somewhat larger padding size.

In our experience, Twins gloves feel tight at first (which is normal), but become considerably roomier with use.

Boxing gloves do not come in “standard” sizes; their weight is expressed in ounces (oz).

For every boxing glove brand and model on our website, there is a unique size chart (by the size selection and at the bottom under the details). This provides the best guideline we can give for what we think is the best choice for you for that specific model.

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

In short, youth train with 6 oz, 8 oz, or 10 oz boxing gloves. Women usually choose 12 oz or 14 oz, while men are often best off choosing 14 oz or 16 oz.
