Questions
What size gloves should I choose for training?
For general training, 12oz gloves are suitable for lighter pad work, 14oz for versatile pad and bag work, and 16oz for sparring and heavy bag work where maximum protection is needed. Your weight and hand size also influence the ideal choice.
How do I care for my leather gloves?
After each use, wipe down the gloves inside and out with a clean, damp cloth. Allow them to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight or heat. Occasionally, you can apply a leather conditioner to prevent drying and cracking.
Are these gloves suitable for sparring?
Yes, the multi-layer foam padding and anatomical wrist support make these gloves suitable for sparring, especially in 16oz. Always ensure your sparring partners are comfortable with your glove choice and that they are clean and well-maintained.
What is the benefit of 'anatomically designed wrist support'?
Anatomically designed wrist support means the glove's structure is shaped to conform to the natural curve of your wrist. This provides enhanced stability and alignment, reducing the risk of hyperextension or injury during powerful strikes.
Why are gloves made in Thailand considered high quality?
Thailand has a long-standing tradition and expertise in manufacturing Muay Thai equipment. Thai-made gloves are often recognized for their durable construction, quality materials, and attention to detail, reflecting the demands of the sport at its origin.
