About this product
Boxing Training Gloves – in stock at 361 Degrees Adventure in Dar es Salaam.
These are general training gloves for boxing, kickboxing and Muay Thai – the pair you use for bag work, pad work and general training.
The thing that separates a good training glove from a bad one is the padding, and specifically whether it stays in shape. A one-piece moulded lining is formed as a single block around the shape of the fist; cheap gloves use layers of sheet foam glued together, and those layers compress and shift with use until the padding over the knuckles is a flat, hard pad. At that point the glove is finished, and people carry on using it because it still looks fine from the outside.
The mesh palm matters more in Tanzania than in most places. A closed leather or synthetic palm turns into a sealed, wet environment within a few rounds, and a wet glove is uncomfortable, slippery inside and begins to smell almost immediately. Mesh lets the heat and moisture out.
Glove weight is the specification to get right. For most adults 14 or 16 oz is correct. The extra weight is extra padding: it protects your hands on the bag and protects a partner when you spar, and it makes your shoulders work harder, which is training in itself. Lighter gloves – 10 or 12 oz – are for competition and for lighter people. If you are buying one pair to do everything, buy 16 oz.
And wear hand wraps under them. A glove protects the person you hit; wraps protect the 27 bones in your own hand. Training without them is the standard route to a long-term hand injury.
