Boxing gloves XPRT Camo V2 grey

Boxing gloves have a limited lifespan. After all, they are a product that is used for hitting, and boxing gloves often take a lot of wear and tear.

Of course, you can influence their lifespan yourself by taking good care of your boxing gloves properly and maintaining them. Don’t just 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 by "normal" sizes, but by weight expressed in ounces (oz).

For every brand and model of boxing glove on our website, there is a unique size chart (at the size selection and at the bottom under the content). Here we provide the best possible guideline for 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 to be used is desired”. A heavier boxing glove generally has more padding and is therefore safer for the hands and the training partner. Trainers generally prefer you to have heavier boxing gloves rather than lighter ones.

In short, youth train with boxing gloves of 6 oz, 8 oz, or 10 oz. Women usually choose 12 oz or 14 oz, and men often do best to choose a 14 oz or 16 oz.

The story of XPRT Fight Gear begins in 2005. Enthusiastic martial artist and entrepreneur has dreamed for years of a shop full of the finest fighting gear, accessible and affordable for everyone.

Yes.

XPRT boxing gloves are suitable for (Western) boxing, kickboxing, and thai boxing (Muay Thai).

They are also used in Krav Maga and MMA (stand-up fighting).

XPRT boxing gloves - like almost all other boxing gloves - are sized not by "normal" sizes, but by weight expressed in ounces (oz). 

The table below is a guideline, and you can always choose a heavier boxing glove for more padding, protection, and tougher training. Most women choose a 12 oz or 14 oz Twins boxing glove, while men generally go for 14 oz or 16 oz.

Oz stands for the English word ounce. An ounce (abbreviated as oz) is a unit of weight commonly used in the United States, the United Kingdom, and other countries that follow this system. One ounce is approximately equal to 28.35 grams.

In boxing gloves (and MMA gloves)this refers to the weight(the size) of the gloves. The larger the (padding of the) gloves, the higher the oz.
