The Hayabusa gloves are far superior quality, so I bought them. After wearing them a few weeks I bought more and more pairs in all sizes because I absolutely love them.

As a lifelong martial artist, coach & gym owner, finding quality gear that protects yourself and training partners are essential. Hayabusa has the quality that will last.
- Joe Valtellini
Using the T3 gloves has been a game-changer for me! The wrist and knuckle support is better than any other glove I've used, and let's be honest, the design of these gloves is amazing!

What does boxing glove “oz” mean?

What does boxing glove “oz” mean?

When it comes to boxing gloves, “oz” means ounces or the total weight of the glove. The higher the oz, the more padding it has, allowing it to absorb more force. Are you focusing on bag work and pads or sparring? In addition to your training focus, your height and weight will affect which glove oz to choose. Explore our size chart to find your ideal boxing glove oz.

What type of boxing training are you focusing on?

The type of training you focus on will play a significant role in which style and size of glove you should use. For example, if you do mostly heavy bag work, you should choose lower oz gloves with plenty of support to protect your wrists, whereas if you intend to spar, you should choose higher oz gloves to help soften a blow for you and your training partner.

Which boxing glove size should I get?

10-14oz

Heavy Bag & Pad Work

14-18oz

Sparring

Laces or Straps?

Laces or Straps?

Which closure type works best for you, laces, single, or dual strap?

Dual Strap offers the most secure and supportive fit.

Single Strap is the quickest to put on and take off but sacrifices wrist support.

Laced delivers a custom fit but requires extra time and a partner to help lace-up.

Fine tune your selection

Fine tune your selection

If you're taller or heavier, you may punch harder than someone smaller, meaning you'll need a higher oz glove to absorb the more powerful impact. Although this is the general rule of thumb, it's not always the case. Many small fighters use heavier gloves and vice versa.

Choosing smaller gloves (lower oz) than recommended can make it easier to throw quicker punches, hone your technique, and help deliver more feedback from your strikes.

Choosing heavier gloves (higher oz) than recommended helps build your training endurance, overall power and offers even more protection to you and your partner while sparring.
