Getting some boxing gloves details straight for the proper selection
Your performance in boxing and related sporting activities depends on using proper gear. In sparring or such training, boxing gloves play a critical role. But the sheer variety in size, weight, and style can leave you bewildered. Many take time to figure out the suitable fitting gloves for themselves. You can prevent this situation by understanding the little details that make their designs unique for a specific purpose. So, let's get into them to pick the best one for your needs.
The size thing
When you visit any online store for shopping, you come across a vast range of size options, from 8oz to 20oz. Places like [url]Revgear.com[/url] typically offer 12oz to 16oz gloves. You can decide on the weight or size of the gloves based on your body weight, hand size, and the purpose of use. You can use a measuring tape to check the circumference of the dominant hand under the knuckles. Make sure the two ends of the tape meet in the middle of the palm. As far as the body weight goes, anyone weighing 120-150lbs can opt for 12oz gloves and 150-185lbs for 14oz gloves. The heavyweight 16oz gloves can be appropriate for bodyweight 185lbs or more. Generally, the dominant hand of people weighing 120-150lbs measures about 6.5-7.5 inches in circumference.
If you get these two critical measurements right and know why you need gloves, you can choose your type easily. You can expect a snug fit. Some men prefer loose gloves for comfort. If you also belong to that tribe, you should look for a bigger size.

The types of boxing gloves

These boxing gears serve different needs; thus, you will find several styles. The most common varieties include sparring gloves, training gloves, bag gloves, and competition gloves. Sparring glove styles have more padding to protect your hands when you spar. You can use them after getting acclimatized with the training gloves. If you are a beginner, you need training gloves that offer an all-around experience. The balanced padding makes them a good choice for sparring but keeps them adequately lightweight for bag work. In essence, you can call them a jack of all trades. Some people buy bag gloves, which only serve your punch training needs. Whether you practice punches on pads, speedbags, heavy bags, or other devices, these gloves can be suitable. You can feel your punches well with them.

Apart from them, you get competition gloves. As evident, you need them for boxing ring contests. Professionals and amateurs use them for their lighter padding. However, you must be careful when selecting these gloves, especially if you are a beginner.

Most people usually ask whether men or women use the same boxing gloves. The weight of the gloves can be similar, but these gears can differ in size. Female gloves often come with a narrow hand compartment for a better fit. Still, you can follow parameters like your body weight and the circumference of the hand to select the right one. Also, ensure these are tight on your hands, wrapping them comfortably and snugly.
