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 offer protection and comfort but can also significantly improve your performance.

But what should you consider when choosing boxing gloves as a woman? In this guide, we'll share all the ins and outs so you can find the perfect match for your workouts. And yes, we'll also 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 when choosing boxing gloves is size and weight, often expressed in ounces (oz). For women, a weight between 10 oz and 12 oz is generally recommended. Lighter gloves (10-12 oz) are ideal for training on the punching bag and pads, while heavier gloves (12 oz and above) are typically only used for competitive matches.

Tip: Not sure about the right size? Measure the circumference of your palm just below your knuckles. At Hypest, we only sell gloves that perfectly fit a woman's hand, in both 10 and 12 oz.

Leather or Faux Leather: Which is Right for You?

Boxing gloves are usually made of leather or synthetic leather. Leather gloves are more durable and conform to your hand over time, but they are often more expensive. Synthetic 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 a long lifespan.

comfort is Key: Find Your perfect Fit

Besides size and weight, fit is crucial. The gloves should fit snugly, but not too tightly. 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 specially designed for the female hand and offer an exceptional fit. The multi-layered padding provides maximum cushioning and comfort, even during the most intense workouts.

Velcro or Laces: What's Your Preference?

Most boxing gloves have either a Velcro or lace closure. Velcro is easier and quicker 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 have a sturdy and wide Velcro closure for optimal wrist support and ease of use.
