Difference with proper sparring gloves

The BT Starter range is designed as an entry-level model for bag work, whilst full sparring gloves have thicker foam and better shock-absorbing properties to protect both you and your training partner. Sparring gloves often have a different padding distribution and are heavier to spread impact more effectively. For beginner fighters who only do bag work and technique training, these Booster gloves offer sufficient protection at a sharp price. Once you start sparring, upgrading to proper sparring gloves is essential.

What size do you need?

Boxing gloves are measured in oz (ounces), which indicates the weight of the glove, not your hand size. Check the size guide at the top of this page to see which weight suits your body weight. Note: the size guide shows body weight, not your hand size in centimetres. Every glove fits differently, so if in doubt try both sizes. Return data shows that some users find these gloves too large, others too small, so measure your hand according to the size guide and compare it with your body weight.

Frequently asked questions

Are these Booster BT Starter gloves suitable for sparring?

No, these gloves are explicitly not suitable for sparring. They are developed for bag work, pad work and technical exercises. For sparring you need gloves with denser padding and better shock absorption to protect yourself and your training partner. Choose these gloves only if you are training on the bag or with pads.

What size Booster boxing gloves are right for me?

The size in oz (ounces) depends on your body weight, not your hand size in centimetres. Check the size guide at the top of the page to see which oz weight suits your body weight. These gloves are available in 8 oz, 10 oz, 12 oz, 14 oz and 16 oz. If in doubt between two sizes: measure your hand according to the instructions in the size guide.

What is the difference between 10 oz and 12 oz boxing gloves?

The difference is in the weight and the amount of padding. A 12 oz glove is heavier and has more foam than 10 oz, which provides more protection but also feels heavier during training. Lighter fighters usually choose 8 or 10 oz, heavier fighters 12, 14 or 16 oz. Always follow the size guide based on your body weight.

Are these gloves made from real leather or synthetic leather?

These Booster BT Starter gloves are made from high-quality synthetic leather. This material is durable and suitable for long-term use, especially for beginner fighters. Synthetic leather requires less maintenance than real leather and is often more affordable, making these gloves a good choice as an entry-level model for bag training.

Can I use these gloves for kickboxing and Muay Thai?

Yes, these all-round boxing gloves are suitable for boxing and Muay Thai training, as long as you use them for bag work, pad work and technique training. The multilayered foam padding and sturdy hook-and-loop closure provide sufficient protection for these training forms. Bear in mind that they are not intended for sparring, regardless of the combat sport you practise.
