What should I pay attention to when buying boxing gloves?

The Fight Company |

Finding the right boxing gloves online can be quite a challenge, since you can't try them on, of course. At our fight sports shop in Amsterdam, our experts are happy to help you with expert advice. Through this blog, we're trying to set out all the things you need to pay attention to.


I'm a beginner boxer.

As a beginner fighter training one to two times per week, you can choose a boxing glove model made from synthetic leather (PU). These boxing gloves are proportionally much cheaper than genuine leather gloves. Between €29.95 and €59.95 you'll find good beginner boxing gloves. Tip: in our filters you can select the quality of the gloves. Looking for beginner boxing gloves? Select 'Standard' or 'Good' under quality.

I'm an advanced boxer.

Are you an advanced fighter or just starting out but training intensively more than twice a week? In that case, a genuine leather boxing glove is probably the best choice for you. These gloves last longer and tear less easily at the seams. Good gloves for the advanced fighter are available from €69.95. Tip: in our filters you can select the quality of the gloves. Looking for good boxing gloves? Select 'Good' or 'Very good' under quality.
