How to buy sparring gloves
Learn how to buy sparring gloves online at Punch® Equipment in this buying guide.
A sparring glove should always have extra padding around the glove so you don't injure your opponent in a spar. Sparring is all about improving skills and preparing for a fight against a similar opponent.
Quick tips:
- Buy quality gloves - Make sure you always buy quality sparring gloves from a professional Boxing brand, such as Punch® Equipment. A sparring glove under $100 isn't going to last long and will do more damage than good.
- Buy leather gloves - Leather gloves both provide improved, lasting protection as well as durability over years of sparring
- Hand Wraps - We always recommend wrapping your hands before any sparring sessions to not only protect yourself, but the boxing gloves will last much longer and thank you for it!
- Weight - 16 oz is the common glove size for sparring gloves in Boxing. They help increase your stamina and endurance as the gloves are heavier. They also won't hurt your opponent, compared to a 14 oz or below.
