F.A.Q.
Question about Products
1. What are the differences between genuine leather gloves and Microfiber gloves?
The differences between genuine leather and microfiber boxing gloves lie in their materials, durability, and maintenance.
Material
- Genuine Leather Boxing Gloves: Made from the hide of animals, typically cowhide. Leather is a natural material known for its toughness and flexibility.
- Microfiber Boxing Gloves: Made from synthetic fibers designed to mimic the properties of leather. Microfiber is a man-made material that can vary in quality but is generally engineered for specific performance characteristics.
Durability
- Genuine Leather: Known for its long-lasting durability. Leather gloves tend to withstand extensive use and retain their quality over time if properly maintained.
- Microfiber: Generally durable, but not as long-lasting as leather. However, Fairtex Fairtex uses premium quality microfiber that is highly resilient and holds up well against wear and tear.
Maintenance
- Genuine Leather: Requires regular maintenance, including conditioning and cleaning, to prevent drying and cracking. Leather gloves can also absorb moisture, which may lead to odor if not properly dried.
- Microfiber: Easier to maintain than leather. Microfiber is typically more resistant to moisture and less prone to odor. Cleaning usually involves simple wiping and less frequent conditioning.
The choice between genuine leather and microfiber boxing gloves depends on individual preferences, budget, and intended use.
2. What model of gloves should I purchase?
First, you may need to identify the purposes of your training. Fairtex offers various types of boxing gloves that serve different training purposes.
- Training Gloves: For general training, including bag work and pad work. (ex. BGV1, BGV14)
- Sparring Gloves: Softer and designed for sparring with a partner to minimize injury. (ex. BGV5, BGV6, BGV18)
- Bag Gloves: Designed for heavy bag work, typically more durable with denser padding. (ex. TGO3, TGT7)
- Competition Gloves: Lighter and used in official matches. (ex. BGL6)
3. What size of gloves I should select?
Boxing gloves are measured in ounces (oz) and typically range from 8 oz to 20 oz. The right size depends on your weight, the type of training, and personal preference. Common guidelines are:
- 8-10 oz: Generally used for competition.
- 12 oz: Common for women and those with smaller hands.
- 14 oz: Often used for general training and sparring.
- 16 oz: Standard for sparring and general training for most adults.
- 18-20 oz: Used by larger individuals or for extra protection during sparring.
