The guide
Everything you need to choose right.
Training gloves vs sparring gloves
Training gloves (12–14 oz) are built for bag and pad work: firmer padding, faster hands. Sparring gloves (14–16 oz) carry softer, thicker padding to protect your partner. If you only buy one pair and you spar, go heavier. Most UAE gyms ask for 16 oz in sparring.
Why your weight matters
Heavier fighters hit harder and have bigger hands, so they need more padding to protect knuckles and wrists. Lighter fighters can choose a lighter glove without giving up protection on the bag.
Looking after gloves in UAE heat
Sweat and heat break gloves down fast. Air them open after every session, never leave them in a hot car, use glove deodorisers or dry them with paper, and wipe the outside with a damp cloth. Always train with hand wraps.
When to replace your gloves
Replace them when the padding feels flat over the knuckles, the lining tears, the wrist strap stops holding firm, or you feel impact in your hands. Training 3–4 times a week, most gloves last 12–18 months.
How it should feel
How to check the fit
- 1
Wrap your hands first. Always try gloves on with the wraps you train in.
- 2
Slide your hand in fully: your fingertips should just touch the end of the glove.
- 3
Make a fist. It should close comfortably, with your thumb resting against the side.
- 4
Strap the wrist tight. The glove should feel snug with no twisting or loose space.
- 5
Throw a few punches. Your wrist should stay straight and the glove should not slide.

Same protection. Your style.
Gold Elite and Red Series share the same build, padding and wrist support, in 12, 14 and 16 oz. The difference is the look you want to train in.
Questions
Size guide FAQ
What size boxing gloves should I get as a beginner?
Most beginners do best with 14 oz: enough padding for bag work and light sparring while you learn. If you are under 65 kg and only hit the bag and pads, 12 oz is fine. If you are over 80 kg or plan to spar, choose 16 oz.
Is 12 oz or 16 oz better for sparring?
16 oz is better for sparring. The extra padding protects your partner and your own hands, which is why most gyms ask for 16 oz in sparring. Lighter fighters (under 65 kg) sometimes spar in 14 oz.
Are 14 oz gloves good for the heavy bag?
Yes. 14 oz is a great all-round choice for heavy bag work, especially if you weigh 65–80 kg or want one pair for both the bag and light sparring.
What do the ounces (oz) on boxing gloves mean?
Ounces are the weight of the glove, and most of that weight is padding. A 16 oz glove has noticeably more padding than a 12 oz glove, so it protects more but feels slightly slower.
Do boxing gloves fit men and women the same?
Glove size is chosen by weight and training, not gender. Use the same chart. Lighter boxers usually pick 12 oz for bag work and 14 oz for sparring.
Can I exchange my gloves for a different size?
Yes. Unused Mizlet gloves can be exchanged for another size within 7 days of delivery anywhere in the UAE. Message us on WhatsApp and we will arrange it.
