Caged Boxing Gloves

In short: Caged boxing gloves are a Dutch premium line for serious training and competition, available in sizes from 4 oz to 16 oz from €19.95. The Caged boxing gloves Shadow - Matt Black (from €64.95) are the first choice for intensive sparring and heavy bag training, while the Caged Lockstrap Converter Straps (from €19.95) transform lace-up gloves into hook-and-loop models.

Which Caged boxing gloves for which purpose

Caged boxing gloves cover the entire spectrum from children's training to competition. The 'X' Series and Shadow models are fully-fledged training gloves with hook-and-loop closure, suitable for boxing, kickboxing and Muay Thai. For sparring, the heavier weights from 14 oz are recommended, which offer more padding and protect your training partner. The Lockstrap Converter Straps are a special accessory: they transform lace-up boxing gloves into hook-and-loop gloves by pulling over the lacing – practical for athletes who appreciate the fit of lace-up gloves but want the flexibility of hook-and-loop.

Choosing the right sizes and weights

The choice of ounce depends on body weight, training goal and sport. For children and juniors, 4 oz, 6 oz and 8 oz are available. Adult beginners usually start with 12 oz for light bag work or 14 oz for versatile training. 14 oz offer a good balance between protection and mobility and are suitable for sparring for athletes up to about 75 kg body weight. 16 oz are the standard for heavy sparring and for athletes over 75 kg, as they offer maximum padding for both partners. 10 oz are mainly used for competition and advanced bag work. The Lockstrap Converter Straps are available in one size and fit most lace-up gloves.

Materials and construction

Caged uses high-quality materials in its boxing gloves for long-lasting training. The outer shell is made of durable synthetic leather that withstands sweat and intensive use. The padding is constructed in multiple layers to absorb impacts effectively whilst maintaining its shape over many training sessions. The hook-and-loop closure is cut wide for stable wrist support. The Lockstrap Converter Straps are made of elastic material with hook-and-loop closure and are designed to cover the lacing securely whilst enabling quick on and off.
