The Cleto Reyes Glove Range Explained

Cleto Reyes Velcro Sparring Gloves

The most practical option for gym training. The hook-and-loop wrist strap means you can put them on and take them off without a training partner. Available in 12oz to 18oz. Use the sparring weight guidance below to choose for partner work. Best for: regular gym sparring, solo training sessions. Not ideal for: licensed competition.

Cleto Reyes Lace-Up Sparring Gloves

The traditional choice for serious fighters. Lace-up provides a more secure, fully locked-in fit that many professional fighters prefer for sparring. Requires a training partner or coach to tie. Available in 12oz to 18oz. Best for: fighters who train with a partner, competition preparation. Not ideal for: solo training.

Cleto Reyes Safetec Professional Fight Gloves

A leather, lace-up professional fight glove with moulded polyurethane foam rather than the Official Pro Fight model's horsehair-and-foam filling. It keeps a compact fight-glove profile and is available in 8oz and 10oz. For a professional bout, confirm the model with the promoter, who supplies the gloves. These weights are not for adult sparring.

Cleto Reyes Official Professional Fight Gloves

The traditional Cleto Reyes glove for professional boxing. Harder, more compact padding than the sparring range. Available in 8oz and 10oz. Best for: professional competition. The promoter supplies the bout gloves, so confirm the required model before buying. Not for: sparring or training.

Leather Construction

The gloves in this range are handcrafted from leather in Mexico. The leather softens with use, gradually moulding to the hand.

Padding varies by model. The sparring gloves use foam padding for regular gym use, with latex foam specified for the Velcro model, the Safetec professional fight gloves use Cleto Reyes' moulded Safetec foam system, and the Official Professional Fight Gloves use the traditional horsehair and foam construction associated with Reyes fight gloves. Across all models, the construction is deliberately firm and direct.

Cleto Reyes Sparring Glove Weight Guide

For adult sparring, aged 14 and over, 16oz is standard below 90kg and 18oz is standard at 90kg or above. Use 14oz only if you are under 65kg and your coach or gym permits it. Coach or gym rules still apply.

Adult bodyweight, age 14+ Recommended sparring weight
Under 65kg 16oz standard; 14oz only with coach or gym permission
65kg to under 90kg 16oz, subject to coach or gym rules
90kg and above 18oz standard, subject to coach or gym rules

Frequently asked questions

More about choosing and using your gear.

What is the difference between Cleto Reyes Velcro and Lace-Up sparring gloves?

Both are leather, foam-padded gloves for gym training and sparring. The Velcro version uses a hook-and-loop wrist strap, making it practical for solo training sessions. The Lace-Up version provides a more secure, fully locked-in fit preferred by fighters who have a training partner to tie their gloves. For most gym training, the Velcro version is the more practical choice.

Are Cleto Reyes gloves good for beginners?

Cleto Reyes gloves are premium equipment designed primarily for serious amateur and professional fighters. They are excellent quality but represent a significant investment. Beginners who are committed to training long-term will benefit from the durability and quality, but those just starting out may prefer to begin with a more affordable option and upgrade to Cleto Reyes once they are training regularly.

What oz are Cleto Reyes sparring gloves available in?

The stocked Cleto Reyes Velcro and Lace-Up Sparring gloves come in 12oz, 14oz, 16oz and 18oz. For adult sparring, aged 14 and over, 16oz is standard below 90kg and 18oz is standard at 90kg or above. Use 14oz only below 65kg with coach or gym permission. Coach or gym rules still apply.

How do Cleto Reyes gloves compare to Rival?

Cleto Reyes sparring gloves suit boxers who like a firm, direct feel and a traditional leather build. Rival offers different padding, materials and wrist systems across its models, so compare the exact gloves for your training. Read our full Cleto Reyes vs Rival comparison for a detailed breakdown.

What is the Cleto Reyes Safetec glove?

The Cleto Reyes Safetec is a leather, lace-up professional fight glove with moulded polyurethane foam. It offers a foam alternative to the Official Pro Fight model's horsehair-and-foam filling. The stocked 8oz and 10oz weights are not for adult sparring. Professional bout gloves are supplied by the promoter, so confirm the model before buying for that purpose.
