Whether you step into the ring for the first time or prepare for a professional match, it is crucial for your training, safety and success to choose the right pair of boxing gloves. Everlast, a leading brand in boxing equipment, offers a selection of gloves designed to meet the needs of any boxer in the Nordic countries. This guide will help you navigate through these choices to find the perfect couple.

Understanding of boxing gloves

Types of boxing gloves:

• Training gloves: Ideal for beginners and for all -round use, including work with sandbag and sparring. They provide a balanced protection for both you and your sparring partner.
• Sparring gloves: Heavier gloves designed to protect your sparring partner. They have more padding, especially around the front and wrist, ensuring safety during rehearsal matches.
• Bag gloves: Specifically designed to turn on sandbags, these gloves are lighter and less padded, allowing you to feel your punches and improve your technique.
• Competition gloves: Made for matches, these gloves meet the rules for boxing competitions. They are easier to maximize power and speed.

Materials:

• Leather: Offers durability and comfort, but generally at a higher price. Ideal for serious boxers who train regularly.
• Synthetic (PU): A cost -effective alternative to leather, suitable for beginners. Easier to clean and maintain.

Closing system:

• Velcro (Hook and Loop): Provides convenience and ease of use, perfect for training sessions when taking gloves on or off quickly.
• Lace up: Offers a tighter, more personal fit. Preferred for competitions and sparring to make sure the gloves remain safe.

Choose gloves by experience

• Beginners: Look for training gloves with good padding and support for the wrist. A versatile glove like Everlast's Pro Style Training Gloves is a good start.
• Middle level Boxers: Consider gloves that offer a balance between padding and fit, such as Everlast's Powerlock Training Gloves, which are suitable for both sparring and work with sacks.
• Advanced/Professional Boxers: Choose specialized gloves for sparring, such as Everlast's Elite Pro Style Training Gloves, and another pair for competition that meets the required standards.

Choose the correct size and weight

The size and weight of the glove are determined by your purpose and body weight. Gloves are typically measured in ounces (OZ). The heavier the glove, the more padding it has, which gives more protection.

• Training/Sparring: 14oz to 16oz gloves is standard for most weight classes and provides the necessary protection for your hands and your partner.
• Working with sack: 12oz for 14oz gloves is recommended to hit heavy sacks and pillows to improve speed and power without sacrificing hand protection.
• Competition: Glove weight is often regulated, usually 10oz for professional matches. Always check the competition rules.

Care and maintenance

To make sure your gloves hold and remain hygienic:

• Wipe them off with a damp cloth after each use.
• Let them dry completely before storing them.
• Avoid leaving them in your bag or a damp area to prevent odor and bacterial structure.
• Use glove deodorants to maintain freshness.

FAQ

Q: Can I use the same gloves to work with sacks and sparring? A: Although exercise gloves can be used for both, it is ideal to have separate pairs to make sure they provide appropriate protection and last longer.

Q: How do I know if my gloves fit properly? A: The gloves should sit tight around your hands with enough space to comfortably tie your hands. They should not limit circulation or feel loose.

Q: How often should I replace my boxing gloves? A: It depends on use and care. Generally, if you notice that the padding becomes compact or the material is river, it's time for a new pair.
