Booster Boxing Gloves

In short: Booster boxing gloves are available in sizes from 4 oz to 16 oz and cover all applications from children's training to sparring. Prices start at €15.95, with the BFG Alpha and Bangkok series among the best-selling models. For sparring, most customers choose 14 oz or 16 oz, whilst 12 oz is suitable for bag work and lighter sparring partners.

Which Booster boxing gloves for which use

Booster offers various series for different requirements. The BFG Alpha series is aimed at advanced users and combines protection with mobility, whilst the Bangkok line represents classic Muay Thai gloves with firm padding. For children there are the Youth Elite Kids models in smaller sizes from 4 oz. The V3 series offers a balanced relationship between price and performance for regular training. If you mainly work on the heavy bag, 10 oz or 12 oz is sufficient, whilst for sparring at least 14 oz is recommended to protect your partner and your own hands.

Choosing sizes and weights correctly

The choice of the right oz number depends on your body weight, training goal and experience level. Children start with 4 oz to 8 oz, depending on age and size. Adult beginners usually opt for 12 oz for bag work or 14 oz for mixed training. At a body weight over 75 kg, 14 oz for heavy bag training and 16 oz for sparring are the standard choice. Heavier gloves offer more padding and force you to use clean technique, as you can't just work with speed. Competition gloves are usually 10 oz, but for daily training in the boxing gym 14 oz or 16 oz is the safest choice.

Materials and durability

Booster uses hard-wearing synthetic leather in many series, which is easy to clean and remains dimensionally stable even during intensive training. The padding consists of multi-layer foam that absorbs impacts whilst providing enough feedback to refine your striking technique. Higher-quality models like the BFG Alpha use denser foams for better wrist protection. Most Booster gloves have a hook-and-loop fastening, which enables quick putting on and taking off. For longer durability, a deodorant spray is worthwhile, which reduces bacterial growth and odours.

Frequently asked questions

Which Booster boxing gloves for beginners?

For beginners, the Booster V3 or Bangkok models in 12 oz or 14 oz are suitable, depending on body weight and training focus. These series offer sufficient padding for safe learning of basic techniques and are affordable. If you want to spar from the start, go straight for 14 oz or 16 oz, so you don't have to buy a second pair after a few weeks. Make sure the hook-and-loop fastening sits firmly and stabilises the wrist.

Can I also use Booster boxing gloves for MMA sparring?

Booster boxing gloves are designed for boxing, kickboxing and Muay Thai and cover the entire hand. For MMA sparring you need special sparring gloves with open fingers and less padding, which enable grasping and clinch work. Classic boxing gloves restrict finger mobility too much and don't suit the technique in MMA. If you train both sports, invest in separate gloves for each area.

How do I care for my Booster boxing gloves properly?

Let your gloves air out after each training session and don't stuff them straight into your bag. A deodorant spray like No Stink neutralises odours and inhibits bacterial growth in the inner lining. Wipe the outside regularly with a damp cloth to remove sweat and dirt. Avoid direct sunlight and radiators, as the material will otherwise become brittle. With this simple routine, your gloves will last significantly longer and remain hygienic.
