BOXING GLOVES

Starpro boxing gloves are made for people who train regularly and want gear that holds up. Each pair uses high-quality leather over solid foam padding, so they hold their shape through months of bag rounds, pad work, and sparring, rather than going soft after a few weeks. Offering both high-quality leather and faux leather options.

Starpro Boxing Gloves for Bag Work, Pads and Sparring

Not all boxing gloves do the same job. Bag gloves are cut lighter and firmer for repetition on the heavy bag, which keeps your hands quick over long rounds. Sparring gloves carry more foam padding across the knuckles and the back of the hand, spreading impact absorption so your partner takes less of it. Most training gloves sit between the two and handle both, which is why they suit anyone doing a mix of bag, focus pads and light sparring. Nearly all pairs fasten with a hook and loop closure for a quick, secure fit, whilst competition gloves use a lace-up design for a tighter wrap that someone else ties for you.

Choosing the Right Boxing Glove Size

Boxing gloves are sized in ounces, and the number refers to the padding rather than your hand size. The range runs 8oz, 10oz, 12oz, 14oz and 16oz, all made for both men and women. Lighter weights at 8oz and 10oz favour speed and pad drills. Heavier weights at 14oz and 16oz add padding and wrist support for sparring or long rounds on the punch bag. Most adults doing general training settle on 12oz or 14oz, which covers bags, pads and light sparring without a second pair. Wear hand wraps underneath whatever you choose. They come in 2.5m, 3.5m and 4.5m, and they add knuckle protection the glove alone doesn't cover.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size boxing gloves do I need?
Go by your body weight and what you're training for. Most adults are fine on 12oz or 14oz for general work. If you're heavier than around 80kg or sparring regularly, 16oz gives you and your partner more protection.
What's the difference between sparring gloves and training gloves?
Sparring gloves have more padding spread across the knuckles and the back of the hand, because the job is protecting the person opposite you as much as yourself. Training gloves are firmer and more general purpose, built for bags, pads and the occasional light spar. If you're only buying one pair, make it a training glove.
Are these gloves suitable for beginners?
Yes. A 12oz or 14oz training glove covers everything a beginner does in their first year, so there's no need for separate pairs early on. The hook and loop closure also means you can get them on and off without help.
Do I need hand wraps with boxing gloves?
Yes, wear them every session. Wraps hold the small bones in your hand together, support the wrist, and soak up impact the glove padding doesn't reach. Most people use 3.5m wraps for a proper fit.
What oz gloves should I use for bag work?
10oz or 12oz suits most people on the bag, since lighter gloves let you work faster without your shoulders going early. If you hit hard, or the bags at your gym are dense and heavy, 14oz absorbs more of the impact. Anything at 16oz is usually more glove than bag work needs.
Do you offer kids boxing gloves?
Yes. Kids boxing gloves come in smaller weights with a narrower hand opening. Younger children are usually sized by age and hand measurement rather than by ounces alone.
