When you're ready to step through the ropes and test your mettle in the ring, you need great protective gear that can stand up to the test. We developed our Matadora sparring gear to give you the safety you need and the style you deserve!

Our Matadora sparring gloves are a nice upgrade from our former sparring gloves. These gloves will feel nicely balanced like our training gloves, yet with considerably thicker padding. These are definitely not the clunky 16 ounce sparring gloves you’ve used before. It’s going to feel like you have an extra edge over your opponent with these.

The Matadora 16s are available with either a thick velcro strap or long laces to give that extra level of support and stability for sparring contests.

FITTING FOR BOXING GLOVES

There is no exact system of measurement for fitting boxing gloves. A good fit is somewhat up to the wearer. We recommend measuring your hand, first from the tip of the middle finger to the base of your hand, then from front to back, across the knuckles.

If you're going to be making contact during your training you should ALWAYS wear hand wraps. Therefore if you’re trying on gloves be sure to wrap your hands or at least allow for some extra space.

Keep in mind that genuine leather gloves, just like shoes, will stretch somewhat over time, so a snug fit is not a bad thing. At the same time, a glove that is too tight can become uncomfortable during training and potentially cause unnecessary fatigue.

CARE FOR BOXING GLOVES

1. It is a good idea to store your gloves in a way that they can air out to keep the exterior dry in between workouts.
   

2. Clean the interior periodically with anti-bacterial wipes or gentle cleanser.
   

3. Leather can crack over time so it is a good idea to treat gear with leather lotion or oil to preserve suppleness and extend its life.
   

4. Your foam padding will begin to break down eventually so replace your protective gear as necessary. Exposure to heat and moisture can cause the padding to crumble so keep the gloves as dry as possible when not in use.
