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. Keep a dedicated sparring pair in the weight your coach or gym requires.
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, keep a separate pair in the weight your coach or gym requires.

The lace-up product page and hook-and-loop model both list full grain leather and Pro Balance multi-density foam. The main buying 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.
Both versions list the same leather and Pro Balance foam specification. Choose based on how you actually train.

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. Choose the weight for your training purpose and check the fit with your usual wraps.
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.
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 sparring pair in the weight your coach or gym requires.
Heavy-bag performance
On paper, the ALL DAY should be a comfortable bag glove when the weight and fit suit the boxer. 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. Choose the weight for your experience, hand fit and comfort.
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
Ask your coach to check the weight, fit and condition of the ALL DAY Pro Balance before using it for sparring. Adults should not use 12oz for sparring. Below 65kg, 14oz is an option only where the coach or gym permits it; 16oz remains the standard below 90kg, while 18oz is standard at 90kg and above, subject to coach or gym rules.
For regular sparring, keep a dedicated pair alongside your bag and pad gloves. The ALL DAY versions listed here offer 12oz, 14oz and 16oz, so boxers who need 18oz will need another model. Our best sparring gloves guide covers the options.
Break-in
Full grain leather can need time to soften. 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. 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 with compressed or damaged padding is not the glove you want on your hand in sparring. Here is the setup we recommend:
| Purpose | Recommended pair | Weight |
|---|---|---|
| Daily bag and pad work | ALL DAY Pro Balance | Choose for experience, hand fit and comfort |
| Coach-led sparring | Dedicated sparring pair selected with your coach | Use the adult sparring guidance below and your coach's rules |
| Competition or specialist work | Discuss with coach | As per rules |
For adult sparring, 16oz is standard below 90kg, with coach or gym rules taking priority. Below 65kg, 14oz is an option only where the coach or gym permits it. At 90kg and above, 18oz is standard, subject to coach or gym rules. Do not use 8oz, 10oz or 12oz for adult sparring. The ALL DAY versions here are listed in 12oz, 14oz and 16oz; if you need 18oz, compare other models in the sparring gloves collection. 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.
- Both versions list Pro Balance foam, so closure preference is the main buying difference.
- 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.
- For regular sparring, keep a dedicated pair in the weight your coach or gym requires.
- 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 Pro Balance foam in both closure options 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. For regular sparring, keep a dedicated pair in the weight your coach or gym requires. If you need 18oz, choose another model: the ALL DAY versions listed here are 12oz, 14oz and 16oz.

Should I pick 12oz, 14oz or 16oz?
For bags and pads, adult beginners below 65kg should start at 14oz; above 65kg, 14oz to 16oz, with hand size and comfort considered. Experienced adults may prefer 12oz from this range, depending on preference and hand condition. For adult sparring, 16oz is standard below 90kg, with coach or gym rules taking priority. Below 65kg, 14oz is an option only where the coach or gym permits it. At 90kg and above, 18oz is standard, subject to coach or gym rules. Do not use 8oz, 10oz or 12oz for adult sparring. If you need 18oz, choose another model because the ALL DAY versions listed here are 12oz, 14oz and 16oz.
What padding do the ALL DAY gloves use?
They use Hit N Move's Pro Balance multi-density foam system, which layers foams of different firmness through the knuckle and back-of-hand area. The manufacturer positions it as a medium-firm feel suited to bag, pads and controlled sparring at the correct weight.
