Caged

At a glance: Caged is a Dutch premium martial-arts brand offering a complete range of training and competition equipment across boxing, kickboxing, Muay Thai and MMA. The collection includes boxing gloves in 8–16 oz, shin guards in XS–XXL, hand wraps in three lengths (250–450 cm), skipping ropes, Muay Thai shorts and protective gear, all built for serious training and competition use.

What Caged offers

Caged covers every essential category for stand-up striking and grappling. The boxing and kickboxing gloves span the Shadow series and the 'X' Series, available in 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16 oz to suit bag work, sparring and competition. Shin guards come in the Shadow line with sizes from XS through XXL, designed for Muay Thai and kickboxing. Hand wraps are offered in three lengths—250, 350 and 450 cm—to match hand size and wrapping preference, with the Essential range including a laundry bag. The collection also includes skipping ropes, groin guards in S to L, knuckle protectors and Muay Thai shorts in the Classic cut, giving you a complete kit from a single brand.

Choosing the right size and weight

For gloves, 10 oz suits lighter bag work and pad drills, 12 oz works for all-round training, while 14 and 16 oz offer extra padding for sparring and heavier athletes. The 8 oz option is typically reserved for competition under certain rule sets. Shin guards follow garment sizing: XS and S fit youth and smaller adults, M and L cover most men and women, and XL and XXL accommodate taller fighters or those who prefer more coverage on the shin and instep. Hand wraps at 250 cm suit smaller hands or minimalist wrapping, 350 cm is the standard for most adults, and 450 cm gives maximum wrist support and knuckle protection for heavy hitters or those with larger hands.

Building a complete training kit

If you train across multiple disciplines, Caged lets you match gloves, shin guards, wraps and shorts in coordinated colourways—particularly the matte-black Shadow series and the black-and-white 'X' and Classic lines. The knuckle protectors in gel offer extra hand protection under bag gloves or for bare-knuckle conditioning, while the groin guards in sizes S, M and L provide essential coverage for sparring. Because every piece is designed within the same quality standard, you can build a kit that performs consistently whether you're working the heavy bag, sparring or competing.

Frequently asked questions

Which Caged product is the best choice?

For skipping and conditioning, the Caged Premium Skipping Rope in black is the top pick and the best-seller in the range. If you need gloves, the Caged Shadow Boxing Gloves in matte black are available in 10, 12, 14 and 16 oz and suit serious training and sparring, while the 'X' Series offers the same weight range plus an 8 oz competition option. For shin protection, the Caged Shin Guards Shadow in matte black cover sizes S through XL and are built for both Muay Thai and kickboxing.

What size boxing gloves should I choose from Caged?

Choose 10 oz for light bag work and speed drills, 12 oz for general training on pads and bags, and 14 or 16 oz for sparring or if you weigh over 75 kg. The 16 oz option is the most popular size in recent sales, reflecting its versatility for heavier sparring and larger athletes. If you compete under amateur or professional rules that specify 8 oz, the 'X' Series includes that weight. Your choice also depends on hand size: smaller hands may find 10 or 12 oz more comfortable, while larger hands benefit from the extra room in 14 or 16 oz.

How do I pick the right hand-wrap length?

The 250 cm wraps suit smaller hands or fighters who prefer a quick, minimal wrap with basic knuckle and wrist coverage. Most adults will find 350 cm the sweet spot, offering enough material for secure wrist support and knuckle padding without excess bulk. The 450 cm length is ideal if you have larger hands, want maximum wrist stabilisation, or use a more elaborate wrapping technique that includes extra passes around the knuckles and between the fingers. The Caged Essential range includes a laundry bag to keep your wraps fresh between sessions.
