Questions
What is the best way to clean and care for these cowhide gloves?
Wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth after each use. Allow them to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight or heat. For deeper cleaning, use a leather cleaner and conditioner specifically designed for genuine leather.
How do I choose the right weight (oz) for my training?
8-10oz gloves are typically for pad work and bag work. 12-14oz are versatile for general training, including light sparring. 16oz gloves are standard for sparring to protect both partners, and also good for heavy bag work to build endurance.
Are these gloves suitable for sparring?
While the three layers of foam provide excellent protection, the suitability for sparring depends on the weight chosen. 16oz gloves are generally recommended for sparring to ensure adequate protection for both you and your training partners.
What makes the 'compact hand compartment' different?
The compact hand compartment means the internal space for your hand is designed to be snugger than average. This provides a more secure, 'glove-like' fit, reducing hand movement inside the glove, which can enhance control and protection, especially for those with smaller hands.
How does the shorter Velcro closure benefit training?
A shorter Velcro closure typically means less material to wrap around the wrist, often resulting in a quicker and more streamlined fastening process. It still provides excellent wrist support, allowing for quick adjustments between rounds without sacrificing stability.
