What Elevate equipment includes

The Elevate collection covers the essentials for striking sports. For boxing and kickboxing you will find boxing gloves in 10, 12, 14 and 16 oz, shin guards in four sizes (S, M, L, XL) and a kids' version, hand wraps in 250, 350 and 450 cm, headguards in S/M and L/XL, and a mouthguard. For MMA the range includes sparring gloves and open-palm training gloves in 4, 6 and 8 oz. Training aids such as focus mitts and kick shields round out the line. Every product is part of the Prime series, which keeps the choice straightforward when you are building your first kit.

Choosing the right sizes and weights

Boxing gloves come in four weights. Lighter gloves—10 and 12 oz—suit pad work and lighter sparring for adults under 70 kg, while 14 and 16 oz offer more padding for heavier sparring and bag work or for larger athletes. Shin guards use clothing sizes: S fits roughly up to 165 cm, M up to 175 cm, L up to 185 cm, and XL for taller fighters. Hand wraps are available in 250 cm (compact hands or children), 350 cm (standard adult length) and 450 cm (extra wrist support or larger hands). MMA gloves range from 4 oz for grappling-focused training to 6 and 8 oz for sparring with more hand protection. Headguards are sized S/M and L/XL to match head circumference.

Who Elevate is designed for

This range targets beginners taking their first classes and recreational fighters who train two or three times a week. The materials and construction prioritise durability and comfort at an entry-level price, making it practical to equip yourself fully without a large outlay. If you are moving from group sessions to regular sparring or competition training, you may eventually want specialist gear, but Elevate will see you through the first months or years of consistent training. The straightforward sizing and universal black or black-and-white colourways also make it easy to meet gym dress codes.

Frequently asked questions

Which Elevate product is the best choice?

For boxing and kickboxing, the Elevate Boxing Gloves Prime in 12 or 14 oz and the Elevate Shin Guards Prime in your clothing size form the core of a starter kit. Pair them with 350 cm hand wraps for wrist support. If you train MMA, add the Elevate MMA Sparring Gloves Prime in 6 or 8 oz for striking drills and light sparring. Each piece is built to handle regular training while keeping the overall cost manageable.

What size boxing gloves should I buy from Elevate?

Choose 10 oz if you weigh under 60 kg and focus on pad work, 12 oz for adults under 70 kg doing mixed bag and pad sessions, 14 oz for sparring or if you weigh 70–85 kg, and 16 oz for heavier sparring, bag work or if you are over 85 kg. Heavier gloves provide more cushioning for both you and your training partner, so when in doubt for sparring, size up.

Are Elevate shin guards suitable for sparring?

Yes, the Elevate Shin Guards Prime are designed for light to moderate sparring as well as bag and pad work. The foam padding covers the shin and instep, and the hook-and-loop straps keep them secure during movement. They work well for beginners learning to check kicks and for recreational fighters in controlled sparring. For heavy full-contact sessions or competition, you may eventually prefer a thicker or more rigid design.
