ADIDAS Combat 50 boxing gloves - Weight of gloves: 8oz

Purpose: Boxing gloves protect your hands during combat sports training and help absorb impact from strikes. They are designed to keep both you and your sparring partner safe.

Proper use: Each type of glove has a specific purpose. Sparring gloves are intended only for partner training — they have thicker padding and larger volume. Bag gloves are designed exclusively for punching bags or focus mitts. Universal gloves can be used for both, but with some compromises in durability.

Using gloves outside their intended purpose — such as hitting a heavy bag with sparring gloves — leads to faster wear and tear. Damage caused by improper use is not covered under warranty. Likewise, using gloves for strength exercises (like push-ups) can deform the structure and cause internal damage.

Choosing the right size: Most boxing gloves are labeled by weight in ounces (oz), which indicates the amount of padding — the higher the number, the more protection. Some models may also use standard clothing sizes (S, M, L). The internal fit can vary by brand — if you use hand wraps or inner gloves, you may need a slightly larger size. Always refer to the size chart on the product page.

Care and maintenance: After training, wipe the gloves clean with a damp cloth and let them dry fully at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not wash or soak them. For longer glove life, store them in a dry, well-ventilated place and always use hand wraps or inner liners.

Disclaimer: Boxing gloves do not provide complete protection from injury. Train responsibly and, when possible, under supervision of a qualified coach.
