What should I pay attention to when buying boxing gloves?

The Fight Company |

Finding the right boxing gloves online can be quite a challenge, because you can't try them on. In our martial arts store in Amsterdam our experts are happy to help you with customer-focused advice. In this blog we try to list everything you need to pay attention to.


I'm a beginner boxer.

As a beginner martial artist training once or twice a week, you can choose a boxing glove model made of synthetic leather (PU). These boxing gloves are considerably cheaper than real leather gloves. Between €29.95 and €59.95 you'll find good beginner boxing gloves. Tip: in our filters you can tick the quality of the gloves. Looking for starter boxing gloves? Tick 'Standard' or 'Good' under quality.

I'm an advanced boxer.

Are you an advanced martial artist or just starting out but training enthusiastically more than twice a week? In this case a real leather boxing glove is probably the best choice for you. These gloves last longer and are less likely to tear at the seams. Good gloves for the advanced martial artist are available from €69.95. Tip: in our filters you can tick the quality of the gloves. Looking for good boxing gloves? Tick 'Good' or 'Very good' under quality.
