Gym Etiquette and Sparring Gloves
Using bag gloves for sparring is disrespectful and dangerous. You need softer foam that forgives mistakes. This collection is curated to keep the gym safe and keep your training partners happy.
The 16oz Rule
Most reputable gyms mandate 16oz for sparring to ensure mass. We stock the widest variety of Sparring Gloves in this weight class to meet gym requirements.
Pillow vs. Compact Padding
Twins Special offers a "pillow" shape for maximum cushion. Fairtex offers a compact shape for better clinch work. Both are safe; it comes down to preference.
Safety First
To prevent eye pokes during chaotic scrambles, these gloves feature fully attached thumbs. Complete your safety loadout with Headgear and Mouthguards before you step into the ring.
