Questions
What size glove should I choose?
8 oz gloves are typically for lighter pad work or competition for smaller individuals. 10 oz is a common choice for general pad work and bag training. 12 oz offers more padding for sparring and heavier bag work, providing increased hand protection and conditioning.
Are these gloves suitable for sparring?
While 12 oz gloves can be used for light sparring, for regular, intense sparring, many practitioners prefer heavier gloves (14 oz or 16 oz) for increased padding and partner safety. These gloves are primarily designed for general training and pad work.
How do I care for my PU leather gloves?
After each use, wipe the gloves down with a damp cloth and allow them to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources. Do not submerge in water or machine wash. Regularly clean the interior to prevent odor buildup.
What is the difference between PU leather and genuine leather?
PU leather is a synthetic material that offers good durability and is more cost-effective. Genuine leather is a natural material known for its superior longevity, breathability, and ability to mold to the hand over time, though it typically comes at a higher price point.
Are these gloves authentically made in Thailand?
Yes, these Kanong gloves are crafted in Thailand, ensuring they meet the traditional standards of Muay Thai equipment manufacturing.
