Tiny hands, Glove Size Recommendation plz.

well you are a small guy huh? my advise would be to go with lonsdale gloves as I find the 12oz ones in my gym kinda comfy and well padded but id say go with an 8oz pair of gloves. Ask when you buy them if you can try them on first just in case tho

 

Yeah mate, theres a big difference. my hands are snug in a pair of 12oz's but were too loose in 14 oz's. i think id be able to move into a pair of 16 oz's and have enough room to charge rent

 

If you have small hands, go to ringside.com and buy the IMF tech gloves - trust me, you will not find a better pair of gloves.

 

Well i havent bought my own gloves yet but my cousin is into kickboxing and he bought a pair of 8oz that fit me suprisingly. they were white and green addidas ones and they didnt cost too much i dont think so try those. im getting a pair when i can too

 

You don't want to be using 8oz gloves for sparring and bagwork. There will be insufficient protection for your hands, you are asking for hand injuries! Very few boxing gyms, if any will allow you to spar with 8oz gloves as they do not offer much in the way of protection for your opponent.

Look at 14 or 16oz gloves for training purposes, and contrary to some of the above advice, you can get 16oz gloves that will fit small hands - like I mentioned above, have a look at IMF tech gloves. Another pair to try is the Everlast 'Sugar' gloves, these are 14oz and they are tiny; you can get these gloves from Sugarrays.

 

Are you suggesting 8 oz gloves for sparring? :blood

 

the weight of teh glove dosent make a difference in the size it is just the weight just buy a smaller fitting pair

 

depends what you like if you want more protection use a heavier glove

i have bad hands so i use a 14 or 16 oz glove but many people use an 8oz or 10oz or 12 oz

 

some gyms do some dont cant say if all gyms do most gyms i have went to only use 16 oz

but i once sparred aguy who wore 10 oz gloves
