Boxing Set Size Guide: Gloves, Headgear and Protector

Black and metallic red boxing fight set

When you buy a set, every piece needs to fit. Use this quick reference before you choose your options.

Gloves: choose by use and body weight

Weight Typical use
10–12 oz Pads, bag work, lighter boxers
14 oz All-round training
16 oz Sparring for most adults
18 oz Heavyweights, heavy sparring

Headgear: measure your head

Measure around your head just above the eyebrows and ears, then match it to the size guide on the product page. The headgear should not slide when you shake your head.

Groin guard: use your waist size

The top should sit around your navel and the guard should cover your hip bones. If you are between sizes, go up and tighten the straps.
