Built around Adidas's Tilt Technology foam, the Tilt 200 is an entry-level training glove for beginners and intermediate boxers who need a solid all-rounder for bag and pad work.
Key Features

- • Hook and Loop Closure: Velcro strap lets you wrap and unwrap quickly between rounds and adjust the fit on your own.
- • Ventilated Palm: Mesh holes across the palm let heat and moisture escape, keeping the inside drier through longer sessions.
- • Five Weight Options: Available in 8oz through 16oz so you can match the glove to your bodyweight and training purpose.
- • Four Colourways: Choose from black, blue, red or white to suit your kit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the Adidas Tilt 200 gloves good for beginners? +
Yes. They are Adidas's entry-level training glove and the build quality is solid for the price. The Tilt foam helps newer boxers learn to land with correct knuckle alignment.
What weight should I choose for bag work? +
As a rough guide: under 65kg go for 14oz (coach dependent), 65 to 85kg pick 16oz, and 85kg plus should run 16oz as a minimum. Heavier gloves protect your hands and wrists over longer sessions.
Are these gloves suitable for sparring? +
The Tilt 200 is built for bag and pad work rather than sparring. If you plan to spar regularly, look at a dedicated sparring glove with denser, shock-absorbing padding. Always check with your coach before sparring in any glove.

The Rival RS80V Impulse is a dedicated boxing sparring glove built to protect your hands and your partner round after round. The angled Ergo Strap locks your wrist in the position it actually punches from, which many boxers prefer for the extra support.
Key Features
- • Angled Ergo Strap System: The hook-and-loop (Velcro) strap is set at the natural angle of a closed fist. This locks the wrist in its punching position and keeps the closure secure through long sparring sessions.
- • Sparring-Specific Foam: Low-density, high-volume foam spreads impact across a wider area. This softens the punch on your partner and reduces the load coming back through your hands.
- • Super Resistant Microfibre Shell: The outer shell is built from a durable microfibre that holds up to regular sparring use. It resists scuffing and keeps its shape over time.
- • Pre-Curved Construction: The glove is shaped to a natural fist position out of the box. There is no long break-in period, and the curve helps you land cleaner shots that land flat on your partner.
- • Breathable Mesh Palm: Mesh panels across the palm let heat and moisture escape. The inside of the glove stays cooler and drier during long rounds.
- • Soft Internal Lining: A soft lining sits against the hand and wrist for a comfortable fit. It reduces friction when your hands are wrapped and damp with sweat.

| Padding | Low-Density, High-Volume Foam |
| Closure | Angled Hook and Loop (Ergo Strap System) |

| Available Weights | 12oz, 14oz, 16oz |

Which Weight Should I Choose?
Glove weight for sparring is usually decided by your body weight and your coach's rules.
| Boxer Weight | Recommended Glove Weight |
|---|---|
| Under 65kg | 14oz (coach dependent) |
| 65kg to 85kg | 16oz |
| 85kg and above | 16oz minimum |
| All weights | Check your gym's sparring rules |
Frequently Asked Questions
Which weight should I choose for sparring, 14oz or 16oz? +
Most UK gyms require 16oz for sparring. If you are under 65kg, 14oz may be accepted depending on your coach and gym rules. The 16oz also offers more protection for your partner.
Are the Rival RS80V gloves good for heavy sparring? +
Yes. The RS80V is built specifically for sparring. The low-density, high-volume foam spreads impact across a wider area, which protects both your hands and your partner during harder rounds.
How does the Ergo Strap differ from a standard wrist closure? +
A standard hook-and-loop strap wraps straight across the wrist. The Ergo Strap is set at an angle that matches the wrist position used when throwing a punch. This holds the wrist in a stronger alignment on impact and helps reduce strain over long sessions.

The STING Competition Approved Gloves 2.0 are the actual gloves used at World Boxing, England Boxing, and Welsh Boxing (WABA) sanctioned events, from club shows through to national championships. STING is the official glove supplier to World Boxing, and this is the glove provided ringside at competition level. For amateur boxers in Wales and across the UK training seriously, owning the same glove used in the ring gives you the most accurate preparation possible.
Key Features
- • World Boxing, England Boxing and Welsh Boxing Approved: The official competition glove for World Boxing, England Boxing, and Welsh Boxing (WABA) sanctioned events. Tested to failure in excess of 10,000 strikes and built to precision weight tolerances required by all three governing bodies.
- • Multi-Layer Foam Padding: Layered foam construction distributes impact across the knuckle and protects your hands over long rounds.
- • Premium Leather Outer: Crafted from high-grade leather, the outer shell holds its shape through repeated use and stands up to the demands of regular training.
- • Hook and Loop Closure: Quick to fasten and adjust before training without needing a second pair of hands.
- • Competition Colours: Available in red and blue, the two colours used at all World Boxing and England Boxing sanctioned events.
- • Hi-Flow Core System: The competition-grade Hi-Flow Core delivers an accurate fit, breathability, and consistent feel across every session, so the glove performs the same way each time you put it on.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does World Boxing, England Boxing and Welsh Boxing approved mean? +
These are the actual gloves used at World Boxing, England Boxing, and Welsh Boxing (WABA) sanctioned events. STING is the official glove supplier to World Boxing, and this is the glove provided ringside at every level of the amateur game in Wales and across the UK. On competition night, gloves are supplied by the organiser. Boxers do not bring their own. Owning a pair gives you the most accurate training tool available for amateur competition preparation.
What is the difference between 10oz and 12oz? +
At sanctioned amateur events, gloves are provided ringside and the weight is set by the governing body based on the boxer's weight class. Lighter weight classes typically use 10oz, heavier classes use 12oz. For training, most amateur boxers use 10oz or 12oz to replicate the feel of competition gloves. Your coach can advise which weight suits your division.
Can I use these gloves for training? +
Yes. These are the actual competition gloves, so training in them gives you the most accurate preparation for what you will use on show day. Most amateur boxers use them for pad work and technical work. For heavy bag work or sparring, a purpose-built training or sparring glove will give your hands more protection and make the competition gloves last longer.

Rival's best-selling sparring glove, the RS11V Evolution is built for boxers who spar hard and often and need maximum hand and partner protection. Extra-thick 50mm layered foam, the V-Strap Wrist Lock 2 system, and a super-rich microfibre shell make this the step up from the RS80V for serious ring work.
Key Features
- • Extra-Thick 50mm Layered Foam: Two inches of multi-density foam absorb and distribute impact across the knuckle, protecting your hands and reducing the force your partner takes — more padding volume than the RS80V.
- • V-Strap Wrist Lock 2 System: Rival's dual-angle V-Strap closure locks your wrist in the position it actually punches from, giving you stronger wrist support than a standard straight strap.
- • Premium Microfibre Shell: Durable and softer on contact than standard PU, holding up to heavy weekly sparring.
- • 18oz Option Available: Suited to boxers over 90kg or gyms that mandate extra protection for heavier sparring partners.
- • AirFlow Control System: Rival's AirFlow mesh palm moves air through the glove during rounds, reducing heat and moisture build-up so the glove stays more comfortable over long sessions.
- • Moisture-Wicking Lining: Pulls sweat away from the hand, helping the interior stay drier between sessions.

| Available Weights | 12oz, 14oz, 16oz, 18oz |
| Brand | Rival Boxing |
Which Weight Should I Choose?
Glove weight for sparring is set by your body weight and your coach's rules. 16oz is the UK standard for adults.
| Bodyweight | Experience | Sparring |
|---|---|---|
| Under 65kg | All levels | 16oz (14oz at some gyms — gym and coach dependent) |
| Over 65kg | All levels | 16oz |
| 90kg and above | All levels | 18oz |
Always check your gym's sparring rules before training.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the RS11V and the RS80V? +
The RS11V is Rival's best-selling sparring glove and sits above the RS80V in the range. The key differences are the extra-thick 50mm foam (more padding volume than the RS80V) and the V-Strap Wrist Lock 2 closure. Both gloves use the same angled wrist strap principle, but the RS11V is built for boxers who spar regularly and want more protection.
Should I choose 16oz or 18oz for sparring? +
For most boxers up to 90kg, 16oz is the standard sparring weight. If you are 90kg and above, or your gym requires extra protection for heavier sparring partners, go 18oz. Always check with your coach, as some gyms set their own minimum glove weights.
Are these gloves suitable for daily sparring? +
Yes. The RS11V is built specifically for regular sparring, with multi-layer padding and a durable microfibre shell designed to hold up to repeated use. The moisture-wicking lining and mesh palm also help the gloves recover between sessions.

| Over 65kg | All levels | 16oz |
| 90kg and above | All levels | 18oz |
Always check your gym's sparring rules before training.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these gloves genuine leather? +
Yes. The Pro-Spar is made from full grain leather, not synthetic or PU. That is the main reason it sits above entry-level gloves in both price and durability.
What weight should I use for sparring? +
As a general guide: under 65kg use 14oz (check with your coach), 65 to 85kg use 16oz, and over 85kg use 16oz as a minimum. Many gyms require 16oz for sparring regardless of bodyweight, so check your gym's rules first.
How do Pro Box gloves compare to more expensive brands? +
The leather and padding are genuine, and the build quality is solid for the price. Premium brands offer more refined fit, hand-stitching, and longer warranties. The Pro-Spar is a working glove for regular gym use rather than a top-tier sparring glove.

Key Features
- • Competition-Grade Build: Made to the same quality standards as STING's competition gloves, but tuned for everyday training.
- • Multi-Layer Foam Padding: Distributes impact across the knuckles, holding up to repeated bag and pad sessions.
- • Premium Synthetic Leather: Wipes down easily and resists the wear that comes from heavy gym use.
- • Hook and Loop Closure: Lets you strap up solo and adjust wrist tightness between rounds.
- • Three Training Weights: Available in 12oz, 14oz and 16oz to match your bodyweight and training focus.
- • All-Round Training Glove: Handles bag work, pad work and technical drilling without needing a second pair.

Which Weight Should I Choose?
Use this guide to match glove weight to your training type and experience level. The 12oz is also popular with Schools-category junior boxers (age 12 to 13, 50 to 60kg) for bag and pad work.
| Bodyweight | Experience | Bags & Pads | Sparring |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50 to 60kg | Schools (age 12 to 13) | 12oz | Ask coach for club rules |
| Under 65kg | Beginner | 14oz | 16oz (14oz at some gyms — gym and coach dependent) |
| Over 65kg | Beginner | 14oz or 16oz | 16oz |
Always check your gym's sparring rules before training.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are the Armalite gloves suitable for sparring? +
They will handle light technical sparring in 16oz, but they are primarily a bag and pad glove. If sparring is your main focus, a dedicated sparring glove with softer padding is the better choice.
What weight should I choose for pad work? +
As a general guide: under 65kg go 14oz (coach dependent), over 65kg go 16oz. Heavier gloves build conditioning, lighter gloves let you work speed and sharpness. Always check with your coach.
How do these compare to STING's competition gloves? +
The Armalite uses the same construction standards but is built for gym mileage rather than the ring. Competition gloves use premium leather and a fight-specific padding profile, where the Armalite prioritises durability and value for daily training.

The Hit N Move ALL DAY Pro Balance is a full grain leather training glove built to handle serious volume. The Pro Balance foam system holds its protective properties across bag work, pads, and sparring without packing out, so one glove covers everything your training demands.
Key Features
- • Pro Balance Foam System: Multi-density foam engineered to keep its protective properties session after session, instead of packing out like standard foam.
- • Full Grain Leather Construction: Holds its shape and survives the volume of work serious training puts through a glove.
- • All-Discipline Build: Padding distribution works for heavy bag, pads, and sparring, so you are not switching gloves between rounds.
- • Open Palm Design: Lets heat and moisture escape during long sessions, which keeps the inside drier and the glove lasting longer.
- • Hook and Loop Closure: Quick to fasten between rounds and easy to adjust solo when your coach is on the pads.
- • Three Training Weights: Available in 12oz, 14oz, and 16oz so you can match the glove to your bodyweight and what your coach has you doing.

| Padding | Pro Balance multi-density foam system |

| Over 65kg | Beginner | 14oz or 16oz | 16oz |
Always check your gym's sparring rules before training.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the ALL DAY gloves be used for both bag work and sparring? +
Yes, that is what they are designed for. The Pro Balance foam protects your hands on the bag and absorbs impact cleanly enough for sparring. Pick 16oz if sparring is the priority.
What makes the Pro Balance foam different from standard foam? +
Standard foam compresses over time and loses its protective qualities, which is why most gloves feel dead after a few months of heavy use. The Pro Balance multi-density system is built to resist that breakdown, so the glove keeps protecting your hands across long training blocks.
Are these gloves worth the premium price? +
If you train once or twice a week, probably not. If you are training daily, sparring regularly, and going through gloves quickly, the longer working life and consistent protection make the cost work out.
What weight should I buy? +
Under 65kg, 14oz is usually fine but check with your coach. Over 65kg, go 16oz. Always confirm with your coach.

Built for hard bag work and pad sessions, the RB5 Bag Mitts deliver Rival's premium construction in a compact, hand-sized fit. A dedicated bag glove for boxers who already own quality kit and want the right tool for the job.
Key Features
- • Hand-Sized Fit: Sized S to XL by hand rather than oz weight, giving a closer, more accurate fit than standard bag gloves.
- • Premium Leather Construction: Built from premium quality leather that holds up to repeated bag and pad sessions without breaking down.
- • Ultra Thin EVA Padding (Ergo Lite System): Rival's Ergo Lite System uses ultra-thin EVA foam to protect the knuckles while keeping the glove as close to the hand as possible, giving you a near bare-fist feel on the bag.
- • Hook and Loop Closure: Quick on, quick off between rounds, with enough tension to keep the glove locked down during work.
- • Built for Bag and Pads: Designed for heavy bag, speed bag, and pad work, not for sparring.
- • Rival Build Quality: Constructed to the same standard as Rival's full-size gloves, so the stitching and shape hold up over time.

Size Guide
| Size | Fighter Weight | Hand Circumference |
|---|---|---|
| S | Up to 60kg (135 lb) | max 22cm (8.75") |
| M | 60–71kg (135–154 lb) | max 25cm (9.75") |
| L | 75–85kg (160–190 lb) | max 26cm (10.25") |
| XL | 91kg+ (200 lb+) | max 28cm (11") |
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the right size for bag mitts? +
Bag mitts are sized by hand size, not oz weight. Measure the circumference of your dominant hand around the knuckles, then check the Rival size chart. If you are between sizes, go up rather than down to allow for hand wraps.
Can I use bag mitts for pad work? +
Yes. The RB5 is built for heavy bag, speed bag, and pad work. The compact padding gives your coach clear feedback while still protecting your knuckles.
Are these suitable for beginners? +
They will do the job, but most beginners are better served by a standard 12oz or 14oz training glove that covers bag work and light sparring. The RB5 makes more sense as a second pair once you train regularly and want a dedicated bag mitt.

The STING Arma Junior is a 6oz training glove built for the youngest boxers — the Child category, age 6 to 8, under 30kg. STING's adult-level construction in a glove properly sized for small hands, covering bag work, pad work, and partner drills from day one.
Key Features
- • Junior-Specific Padding: Foam density and thickness are matched to younger boxers, giving real protection without making the glove too bulky to throw properly.
- • Proportionate Sizing: The hand compartment, thumb, and wrist cuff are scaled for smaller hands, so the glove fits and closes correctly instead of swimming on the wrist.
- • Premium Synthetic Leather: Holds up to repeated bag and pad sessions and wipes down easily after training.
- • Hook and Loop Closure: Lets juniors get the gloves on and off without help, with enough adjustment to dial in a snug wrist fit.
- • STING Build Quality: Made to the same construction standards as STING's adult competition gloves, not a budget afterthought.
- • Training Versatility: Handles pad work, bag work, and partner drills, covering everything a junior will do in a typical session.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the advantage of lace-up over hook and loop? +
Lace-up gives you a tighter, more customised wrist wrap that hook and loop cannot match. The laces let you adjust tension along the full length of the cuff, which is why most pros choose them for serious training and fights.
Can I put these on without help? +
Not easily. Lace-ups are designed to be tied by a coach or training partner for the best fit. If you usually train alone, the hook and loop version of this glove may suit you better.
Are these the same as the hook and loop version internally? +
Yes. The padding, leather, and Pro Balance foam system are identical. The only difference is the closure type.
Which weight should I choose? +
Under 65kg, go 14oz (coach dependent). Over 65kg, go 16oz. Always confirm with your coach.

Built for boxers who put serious time into the heavy bag, the Night Train Bag Mitt is a premium British-made glove in full grain leather. It is designed for bag and pad work, not sparring.
Key Features
- • Full Grain Leather: The highest grade of leather available, full grain ages well and stands up to repeated bag sessions.
- • Multi-Layer Foam Padding: Layered foam absorbs impact across the knuckles and protects the hand through long rounds on the bag.
- • British Made by The Noble Art: Built in the UK by a brand focused on premium boxing equipment, with the construction quality you would expect at this price.
- • Hook and Loop Closure: A secure Velcro wrist strap lets you get the gloves on and off quickly between rounds.
- • Bag and Pad Specific: The shape and padding are tuned for striking work, giving a more direct feel than a heavier sparring glove.
- • Compact Profile: A slimmer fit than a 16oz sparring glove, so you can work combinations and hand speed on the bag and pads.
Specifications
| Material | Full grain leather |
| Padding | Multi-layer foam |
| Closure | Hook and loop (Velcro) |
| Best For | Heavy bag, pad work |
| Brand | The Noble Art |
Frequently Asked Questions
What is The Noble Art brand? +
The Noble Art is a British boxing brand making premium gear in the UK. The Night Train sits at the higher end of the bag mitt market and reflects the materials and build that come with it.
Are these suitable for beginners? +
They will work for a beginner, but the price reflects a premium product aimed at boxers who train regularly. If you are new to boxing and unsure how often you will train, a cheaper bag mitt may make more sense to start with.
How do these compare to standard bag gloves? +
Standard bag mitts are usually synthetic or lower grade leather with basic foam. The Night Train uses full grain leather and multi-layer foam, so you get better durability and a more refined feel on impact.

Cleto Reyes Velcro Sparring Gloves bring the handcrafted Mexican construction the brand is known for to a hook-and-loop closure, built for experienced boxers who want Reyes quality without needing a partner to lace them up.
Key Features
- • Handcrafted Cowhide Leather: Made in Mexico from genuine cowhide, the same construction standard as the lace-up version.

- • Hook and Loop Closure: Get them on and off solo, with a secure wrist wrap that stays put through hard rounds.

- • Four Weight Options: Available in 12oz, 14oz, 16oz and 18oz to match your bodyweight and your gym's sparring rules.
- • Wrist Support: The cuff and strap hold the wrist in a punching position, reducing roll on heavier shots.

How long do Cleto Reyes gloves last? +
With regular sparring two or three times a week, expect several years of use if you look after them. Air them out after every session, never leave them in your bag wet, and wipe the leather down. The cowhide leather is built to last through years of hard training.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do professional boxers prefer Cleto Reyes? +
The padding gives a punchers feel without sacrificing protection, which is why they have been used in title fights for decades. The build quality and consistency from pair to pair is what keeps fighters loyal.
What is the difference between horsehair and foam padding? +
Horsehair compresses and rebounds quickly, giving a firmer, more traditional feel and better feedback through the hand. Foam absorbs more impact on contact. Combining the two gives you protection for sparring with the punching feel pros want.
Are Cleto Reyes gloves worth the price? +
If you spar regularly and want a glove that lasts, yes. The leather, padding and stitching are built to handle years of use, and the fit improves as the gloves break in. They are an investment glove, not a starter pair.
What weight should I choose for sparring? +
As a guide: under 65kg go 14oz (coach dependent), 65 to 85kg go 16oz, and 85kg and above go 16oz minimum. Always follow your coach or gym's sparring rules first.

Key Features
- • Premium Multi-Layer Foam: The deepest padding volume in the Rival sparring range, engineered to absorb impact and protect your training partner round after round.
- • Super Rich Microfibre Shell: Rival's indestructible Super Rich Microfibre with a soft foamy cloth lining, built to hold its shape through years of high-volume sparring.
- • Angled Lace Track System: Rival's lace-up closure wraps the wrist in a locked, competition-style fit that hook-and-loop cannot replicate, giving a tighter, more secure feel tuned for serious sparring.
- • Sparring-Specific Build: Designed exclusively for partner work, with a padding profile tuned to spread impact rather than concentrate it.
- • Professional-Grade Finish: Hand-stitched panels and clean attention to detail throughout, reflecting Rival's flagship sparring spec.
- • Weight Options for Sparring Only: Available in 14oz and 16oz, the weights serious coaches actually want their fighters sparring in.
Specifications
| Material | Super Rich Microfibre |
| Padding | Rival's premium multi-layer foam system |
| Closure | Lace-up (Angled Lace Track System) |
| Best For | Professional sparring, elite training |
| Available Weights | 14oz, 16oz |
| Brand | Rival Boxing |
Which Weight Should I Choose?
Glove weight for sparring is set by your body weight and your coach's rules. 16oz is the UK standard for adults.
| Bodyweight | Experience | Sparring |
|---|---|---|
| Under 65kg | All levels | 16oz (14oz at some gyms, gym and coach dependent) |
| Over 65kg | All levels | 16oz |
Always check your gym's sparring rules before training.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the RS100 differ from the RS80V? +
The RS100 sits above the RS80V in Rival's sparring range. It uses Rival's Super Rich Microfibre shell and a deeper, more refined multi-layer foam system, giving you more padding volume and a higher level of finish. The RS80V is still an excellent sparring glove; the RS100 is the top-tier option.
Why is the RS100 only available in 14oz and 16oz? +
This glove is built purely for sparring, not bag work or general training. Lighter weights do not provide enough padding for safe partner work, so Rival only produces it in the weights that make sense for its intended use.
Are these gloves suitable for daily sparring? +
Yes. The Super Rich Microfibre and premium foam system are built to hold up under regular high-volume sparring. As a weight guide: under 65kg can use 14oz depending on your coach, and over 65kg should be in 16oz.

Lace-Up vs Velcro Boxing Gloves
Velcro (hook-and-loop) boxing gloves are the practical choice for most training sessions. You can put them on and remove them independently between rounds — ideal for bag work, pad sessions, and boxing classes. Most beginners start with Velcro for this reason.
Lace-up boxing gloves offer a tighter, more locked-in fit around the wrist. They are preferred by many fighters for sparring and competition, but require a training partner or coach to fasten them. If your primary focus is partner work, browse our full range of sparring gloves — many are available in both closure types.
Premium Brands and Construction
Rival Boxing Gloves are engineered in Canada with a focus on ergonomic wrist support and advanced synthetic materials built to withstand heavy daily use. Cleto Reyes Boxing Gloves offer traditional Mexican craftsmanship — premium cowhide or goatskin leather with layered latex padding that delivers exceptional feedback on impact.
Sting Boxing Gloves are World Boxing-approved, built to the same standard as the gloves used at amateur level. Hit N Move Boxing Gloves bring modern innovation to the gym, with proprietary padding structures designed for balanced weight distribution and extended comfort across long training sessions.
