Gloves

[SHELL28]

Hi everyone, 

Im new to the forums   Absolutely love you Sylvie and Kevin! So inspiring to me. 

I’m just curious about gloves, I’ve been training about 4 years and I’m very obsessed with everything Muay Thai. What is everyone’s choice of gloves? 

Also what do you guys think of Leone Muay Thai gloves? I’m hearing good things but nervous about not buying Thai made. 

 

Thanks in afvance and nice to meet everyone.

Howdy  I use Boon lace up and bag gloves, then I also have some Fairtex F-Day that I use for sparring/padwork if I know I'm going to be taking gloves on and off (those are velcro). I haven't heard of Leone Muay Thai gloves, do you have a link? I picked up my Boon gloves because the leather is great quality, and I picked up the Fairtex gloves because I got a screaming deal on them (900 baht barely used).

Hey, thanks for the reply  

Here is a link to Leone, they are made in Italy (I’ve seen A few fighters wear them here in Australia)

Interesting, I've never tried gloves with gel in them. Those look pretty decent, and that's a great price.

Sylvie and Kevin are definitely legends in the Muay Thai community, so you're in great company

When it comes to gloves, it really depends on what you're looking for. Some folks like a lighter glove for better hand speed, while others prefer a heavier glove for more power in their strikes. As for brands, there are a ton of options out there. If you're curious about Leone gloves, I've heard good things about them too! Why don't you try a few different brands and weights until you find what works best for you?
If you're looking for a good place to start, you could check out these boxing gloves amazon as an option. They have a wide variety of options, and you can read customer reviews to get a better idea of what people like and dislike about different gloves.

I would say it depends more on purpose, rather than speed or power. For sparring gloves, you want ones which a) protect your hand and wrist well (like all gloves), and b) protect your partner (nice soft padding, etc.). 

I've also heard decent things about Leone. I have a pair of (Western-style) leather gloves from another Italian manufacturer, Montana: very good price, and seem good, at least after 6 months of use. Wouldn't mind some Thai ones, so will watch this space.
