Material and construction
The exterior is made from durable synthetic leather with a matte finish, a choice that ensures a professional appearance that doesn't wear quickly or become shiny. The three foam layers on the inside distribute impact evenly across the knuckles and hand, which helps prevent injury and extends the life of your hands. The reinforced seams ensure that the glove maintains its shape and firmness even with intensive daily use.
Closure and fit
The firm hook-and-loop closure allows you to quickly and precisely adjust the glove to size. The wide closure area provides support around the wrist, which is essential to prevent wrist injuries when punching. The fixed thumb keeps your thumb in the correct, protected position during every punch.

The Shadow is available in four weights. Use the guideline below to choose the right size:
