How should my boxing glove fit?

What should you look for when trying on a pair of boxing gloves? Well, as the saying goes, you should look for a pair that fit “like a glove”. This means the glove should be a snug fit, without restricting blood flow.

 You should always try on gloves while wearing hand wraps, and never buy a set of gloves that fit perfectly without them, as they will likely be too tight once your hands are wrapped.

Your fingers should reach the top of the hand compartment without any room left over, but not so much that your fingertips are cramped against the top. Everything should feel comfortable and be neither too loose nor too tight.

How do you clean boxing gloves?

First and foremost: do NOT machine wash your gloves, since they are likely to destroy your gloves, especially leather ones. Instead, a soft, damp cloth may be used to wipe them down. For vinyl gloves, use a soft cloth and warm water. For leather gloves use leather wipes to gently clean them.

Tea tree or lavender oils will both effectively disinfect and deodorise your gloves.

We recommend cleaning your gloves with an antiseptic wipe then air them out after every session.
