Hit N Move ALL DAY Pro Balance Boxing Gloves Review

The Hit N Move ALL DAY Pro Balance is a premium full grain leather glove built around a multi-density foam system the brand calls Pro Balance, aimed at boxers who want one pair capable of handling bag work, pad rounds and coach-led sparring. Available in hook-and-loop or lace-up at £198.99, in 12oz, 14oz and 16oz. Best paired with a dedicated 16oz for regular sparring.

Quick verdict: A serious, well-made training glove with a versatile brief. The Pro Balance foam feels medium-firm on paper, the full grain leather is built to last, and the open palm should keep hand climate manageable across longer sessions. Choose Velcro for convenience, lace-up for the tightest wrap. For regular sparring, buy a separate 16oz pair rather than wearing one glove out across every purpose.

Exact specifications

Hit N Move confirm on their lace-up product page that the padding, leather and Pro Balance foam system are identical between the two versions. The only real difference is the closure.

Hook-and-loop versus lace-up

The hook-and-loop version is the practical choice for solo training and general club use. You can strap up on your own, and the wrist adjustment is quick to fine-tune between rounds.

The lace-up version gives a more precise, custom wrist wrap and a cleaner profile. It needs a coach, partner or corner to lace and tie properly, and it cannot be removed quickly, so it suits fighters with a training partner or a fixed pad round schedule.

Padding, leather and internal construction are the same. Choose based on how you actually train.

How FightGear tested the gloves

Full physical testing on the ALL DAY Pro Balance is pending. This review is based on verified product data from Hit N Move, our experience with the wider Hit N Move collection, and comparative knowledge of gloves at this price point.

Once our full test protocol is complete, we will assess:

• Fit across common UK hand sizes with 4m and 4.5m wraps.
• Knuckle padding density and how it settles across sessions.
• Balance and closed-fist feel on bag and pads.
• Wrist stability under sustained wrap tension.
• Leather break-in behaviour and stitching under load.
• Suitability for controlled, coach-led sparring at 16oz.

Where we quote Hit N Move's own descriptions below, we mark them clearly as manufacturer claims and separate them from FightGear observations.

Fit and fist position

Hit N Move describe the ALL DAY as engineered around natural punch mechanics with a shaped hand compartment. That is a manufacturer claim, not a promise the glove will correct technique or produce a specific hand position automatically.

From the specification, the open palm and full grain leather upper suggest a firm, structured fit once wrapped. Sizing should follow standard Hit N Move guidance: if you are between weights, size up rather than down. Our full fit notes will follow once physical testing is complete.

If you are unsure which weight suits your training, our glove size guide covers the fundamentals.

Balance and weight distribution

The Pro Balance name refers to Hit N Move's multi-density foam system, which they claim distributes weight for a lighter feel in the hand at a given ounce. Note this as a manufacturer claim. Every glove feels heavier or lighter than its weight rating depending on foam layout and stitching.

Our physical assessment will focus on whether a 14oz ALL DAY feels closer to a typical 14oz or a typical 12oz once wrapped, and how that impacts hand-speed on pads.

Padding and impact feel

The Pro Balance multi-density foam system layers foams of different firmness through the knuckle and back-of-hand area. Hit N Move position it as a medium-firm feel suited to bag, pads and controlled sparring at the correct weight.

No foam maintains its properties indefinitely. Even a well-made premium glove will soften with heavy bag use, which is one of the reasons we recommend a separate 16oz for sparring rather than rotating one worn pair through everything.

Heavy-bag performance

On paper, the ALL DAY at 14oz or 16oz should be a comfortable bag glove. Full grain leather resists abrasion better than synthetics, and a firmer knuckle foam typically feels more secure on hard bags than a soft, plush build.

Boxers who do heavy daily bag work sometimes prefer a dedicated bag glove to preserve their sparring pair. If that is your situation, see our best boxing bag gloves guide.

Pad performance

For pads, the ALL DAY's target profile is a clean, honest feel with enough padding to protect the coach's mitts and enough structure for the boxer to feel the shot. A 12oz or 14oz will suit most technical pad work; heavier hitters may still prefer 16oz.

The open palm should help hand climate stay tolerable across multiple pad rounds, which is where the "all day" positioning is most reasonable.

Sparring suitability

The ALL DAY Pro Balance can be used for controlled, coach-led sparring once broken in and approved by your coach. It is not marketed as a specialist sparring glove, and we would not recommend it for hard sparring at 12oz or 14oz.

For regular sparring, use 16oz and have your coach check the glove condition. If sparring is a weekly fixture for you, a dedicated sparring pair alongside the ALL DAY is the sensible setup. Our best sparring gloves guide covers the options.

Break-in

Full grain leather always needs a break-in period. Hit N Move recommend breaking the ALL DAY in on bags and pads before using it for sparring. We would not put a fixed number of rounds on that: some boxers find leather softens in a week of daily training, others take much longer.

Signs the glove is ready for controlled sparring include: leather that no longer feels stiff around the thumb and wrist, foam that has taken the shape of your fist, and a closure that seats cleanly without pinching.

Wrist and closure

The hook-and-loop cuff on the Velcro version offers a wide adjustment range. The lace-up version gives a tighter, more contoured wrap when properly laced.

Neither closure removes the need for good hand wraps and correct wrapping technique. Boxing gloves support the wrist, they do not guarantee alignment or prevent injury. A qualified coach should check your wrap and closure before hard training.

Construction and finish

Full grain leather, reinforced stitching, an open palm and a moulded thumb. Hit N Move's build standards on the wider range have been consistent, and the ALL DAY sits above the entry tier of the market at £198.99.

The finish is understated rather than flashy, which suits the "training glove" positioning. For a broader look at how it fits within the UK premium market, see our best boxing gloves in the UK guide.

Two-pair use strategy

The ALL DAY is versatile, but "one glove covers everything" only works up to a point. Bag foam softens, sweat accumulates, and a glove that has done six months of daily bag work is not the glove you want on your hand in sparring. Here is the setup we recommend:

Weight guidance should follow your training purpose and your coach's rules first. 16oz is the common starting point for adult sparring in most UK gyms, but coach policy takes priority. Our 14oz vs 16oz guide goes deeper.

Comparison with Süvari and dedicated alternatives

The Süvari is Hit N Move's horsehair-padded glove, positioned around a traditional feel with a firmer, more direct impact. The ALL DAY, by contrast, sits on the Pro Balance multi-density foam platform, which is closer to a modern layered-foam feel. Read our Süvari review if you want the direct comparison.

Pros and drawbacks

Pros:

• Full grain leather construction with reinforced stitching.
• Pro Balance multi-density foam suits bag, pads and coach-led sparring.
• Same padding across Velcro and lace-up, so choice is closure preference only.
• Available in 12oz, 14oz and 16oz, covering most training needs.
• Open palm supports better hand climate on longer sessions.

Drawbacks:

• £198.99 puts them firmly in the premium bracket.
• Not a specialist sparring glove; a dedicated 16oz pair is still the smart setup for regular sparring.
• Lace-up needs a partner to tie and cannot be removed quickly.
• Break-in is required, and timelines vary between users.

Who should buy them?

The ALL DAY Pro Balance suits boxers who train several times a week across bag, pads and occasional sparring, and who want one high-quality glove to anchor most of that work. It is well suited to intermediate and advanced club boxers, dedicated hobbyists, and anyone who values leather quality and a firmer, more responsive feel.

If you already own a decent sparring pair and need a serious bag and pad glove, this is a strong choice.

Who should avoid them?

Beginners on a tight budget should not be spending £198.99 on their first pair. Start with something in the entry to mid tier, learn to wrap properly, and upgrade once you know how you actually train. Browse the full boxing gloves collection for options.

Boxers who spar hard and often should not rely on a single pair of ALL DAYs for everything. Buy a dedicated sparring pair from the sparring gloves collection and rotate.

Boxers who want a plush, soft sparring feel may prefer a softer, foam-heavy option instead. The ALL DAY is medium-firm by design.

Final verdict

The Hit N Move ALL DAY Pro Balance is a well-specified premium training glove. Full grain leather, a multi-density foam system, a clean open palm design and identical padding across Velcro and lace-up make it a considered piece of kit rather than a gimmick.

Buy the hook-and-loop version for solo training or the lace-up version for a tighter wrist wrap, add a dedicated 16oz for regular sparring, and you have a setup that will handle serious training week in, week out. We will update this review with our full physical test findings once complete.
