Whether you're working on combinations, speed drills, or conditioning, these gloves provide a reliable and comfortable experience, making them an ideal choice for anyone embarking on their boxing fitness journey or looking for a dependable workout glove.

Proper care will extend the life and hygiene of your gloves:
Air Dry After Use: Due to the vented inner thumb and mesh grip bars, these gloves are designed to dry quickly. After each use, ensure they are thoroughly air-dried in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or heat sources. This prevents odor and bacterial growth.
Wipe Clean: Use a damp cloth to wipe down the exterior of the gloves after each session to remove sweat and grime. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Deodorize (Optional): If odors persist, consider using a glove deodorizer or placing cedar balls inside when not in use.
