How can I choose my boxing gloves?

All new boxers have asked themselves this fateful question. In the boxing world, but in all combat sports in general, the unit of measurement used is the onch (onch = 28 g), to indicate the total weight of the glove. Therefore, a glove with more onches is more padded. The Erkules team generally recommends this choice based on two factors: the boxer's body weight and the use to which it will be put . If the boxer is lighter, a lighter glove (10–12 oz) will generally be more suitable, while for heavier boxers or for intense training sessions such as sparring, a heavier glove (14–16 oz) is recommended to ensure greater protection for you and your partner.

Erkules Tip: If you're just starting out, choose a glove that's slightly heavier than you think. This will give you more confidence, reduce the risk of injury, and allow you to focus on your technique.

Choosing the right glove means protecting your hands, improving your performance, and training in complete safety. Erkules gloves are designed to offer maximum comfort and durability, adapting to the needs of every boxer, from beginners to professionals.
