How to choose the perfect boxing gloves as a woman?

Finding the right boxing gloves is essential for any woman serious about (kick) boxing. The right gloves not only provide protection and comfort, but can also significantly improve your performance.

But what should you look for when choosing boxing gloves as a woman? In this guide, we share all the ins and outs so you can find the perfect match for your workouts. And yes, we also briefly introduce our new collection of Hypest women's boxing gloves - designed with all these tips in mind!

The Right Size and Weight: A World of Difference

One of the most important factors in choosing boxing gloves is size and weight, often expressed in ounces (oz). For ladies, a weight between 10 oz and 12 oz is usually recommended. Lighter gloves (10-12 oz) are ideal for training on the punching bag and pads, while heavier gloves (12 oz and heavier) are usually really only used in competitive matches.

Tip: Unsure about the right size? Measure the circumference of your palm just below your knuckles. At Hypest, we only sell gloves that fit the female hand perfectly, in both 10 and 12 oz. 

Leather or Faux Leather: Which Suits You?

Boxing gloves are usually made of leather or faux leather. Leather gloves are more durable and mold to your hand over time, but tend to be more expensive. Faux leather gloves are a great alternative, especially for beginners, and are often more budget-friendly.

At Hypest, we use high-quality, durable leather for our new collection of women's boxing gloves to guarantee you the best quality and longevity.

Comfort is Key: Find Your Perfect Fit

In addition to size and weight, fit is crucial. The gloves should be snug but not too tight. Your fingers should lightly touch the top of the glove. Also pay attention to the padding; it should be thick enough to protect your hands and wrists, especially around the knuckles.

The new Hypest women's boxing gloves are designed specifically for the female hand and offer an exceptional fit. The multi-layer padding provides maximum cushioning and comfort even during the most intense workouts.

Velcro or Laces: Which is Your Preference?

Most boxing gloves have either a Velcro closure or lacing. Velcro is easier and faster to put on and take off, ideal for training. Laces offer a tighter, more secure fit, which is often preferred for competitions.

Our new Hypest women's boxing gloves feature a sturdy and wide Velcro closure for optimal wrist support and ease of use.
