A closer look

Key features

  • Multi-Layer Foam Padding:

    Foam padding absorbs impact while keeping the natural feel of the punch, protecting your hands and your sparring partner.

  • Genuine Cowhide Leather:

    Handcrafted in Mexico from full-grain cowhide that breaks in to the shape of your hand and lasts through years of training.

  • Lace-Up Closure:

    Locks the glove to your hand with a custom fit hook-and-loop cannot replicate, giving better wrist alignment through every punch.

  • Made in Mexico Since 1945:

    Each pair is built by hand in the same Mexico City workshop that has supplied world champions for decades.

  • Sparring-Specific Build:

    Weight distribution and padding density are tuned for repeated rounds against a live partner, not pad work or bag sessions.

  • Four Weight Options:

    Available in 12oz, 14oz, 16oz and 18oz so you can match the glove to your bodyweight and your coach's requirements.

Product 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.
