boxing sparring gear

Most items use leather or leather-like outer materials: many gloves list genuine cowhide leather, while larger striking shields commonly use faux or vegan leather shells.

Many training gloves include an ergo strap system or a wide wrist strap to improve comfort, stabilize the wrist, and reduce rollover during punches.

Bag gloves are intended for bag and punch-mitt work and often carry explicit warnings not to use them for sparring or hitting another person; contact pads and shields are designed to absorb strikes and are used by trainers to catch and control blows.

Glove listings specify right- or left-hand orientation and are labeled for adult use.
