The Importance of a Well Fitted Boxing Glove

Whether you’re fresh to boxing or you're a seasoned boxing aficionado, what you need to know is that one of the most important parts of your training is a glove that fits well.

When you’re wearing a glove that doesn’t fit properly and doesn’t support your hands and wrists - you may as well not be wearing a glove at all.

Like all protective gear - boxing gloves mainly work their best when they’re correctly sized and supporting you.

Here are our top reasons why a properly fitted glove is key to your boxing workout:

• To help prevent injury
  This is the absolute number one reason! You don’t want to be faced with a glove that’s too big, doesn’t have enough padding or inadequate wrist support. This is a sure fire way to cause injuries to your hands, wrists, arms and even your shoulders.
• Increased performance
  Ensuring that you have properly fitted gloves means that you will box with confidence, helping you perform better because you can literally feel the difference. Wearing a glove that’s too big or too small is like wearing a shoe that’s two sizes too big and trying to run sprints in them - it just won’t work and you won’t perform. Having quality gloves will ensure that you’re able to train to your highest possible standards and kick your fitness goals.
