How to Choose Muay Thai Boxing Gloves
Just like boxing gloves, Muay Thai boxing glove sizes are also measured in ounces (oz.). Choosing the right gloves size depends on the weight of the individual as well as the purpose of the gloves. Gloves that are for general training and bag work should be between 8 and 14 oz. While the larger gloves from 14 to 18 oz. are best suited for sparring. Yokkao’s Muay Thai boxing gloves come in 8 to 18 oz. sizes to suit every need.

What’s the Difference Between Leather and Microfiber Boxing Gloves?
When choosing the best boxing gloves, one of the most common questions is: should you buy leather or microfiber gloves? Both materials have their advantages, and the right choice depends on your training needs, budget, and personal preferences.
Leather Boxing Gloves
- Premium Quality: Genuine cowhide or buffalo leather gloves are considered the gold standard in boxing gear.
- Durability: Leather is highly resistant to wear and tear, making these gloves long-lasting even with heavy use.
- Comfort & Fit: Over time, leather molds to your hand shape, offering a customized fit.
- Breathability: Natural leather is more breathable, reducing sweat buildup inside the glove.
- Investment: Leather gloves are more expensive but ideal for fighters who want maximum performance and longevity.
Microfiber Boxing Gloves
- Modern Alternative: Microfiber is a high-tech synthetic material designed to mimic the softness and flexibility of leather.
- Low Maintenance: Unlike leather, microfiber is easy to clean, doesn’t absorb as much sweat, and resists cracking or peeling.
- Durability: Quality microfiber gloves are tough and built to handle intense training sessions.
- Cost-Effective: More affordable than leather, offering professional performance at a lower price point.
- Vegan Option: 100% animal-free, making them the best choice for those seeking vegan boxing gloves.
Which Gloves Should You Choose?
- If you’re looking for premium boxing gloves that last for years, go with leather.
- If you prefer easy-care gloves that are affordable and vegan-friendly, choose microfiber.
Are boxing gloves different from Muay Thai gloves?
Yes, there are key differences. While both types of gloves are designed to protect your hands and wrists, boxing gloves usually have a more rigid structure and firmer wrist support, optimized for straight punches and longer rounds of striking.
Muay Thai gloves, on the other hand, are designed with slightly softer padding and greater flexibility in the wrist area. This makes them better for blocking kicks, catching strikes, and controlling opponents in the clinch, essential elements of Muay Thai.
YOKKAO gloves are versatile enough to be used for both boxing and Muay Thai training, giving fighters the best of both worlds: strong wrist support for punching and the flexibility needed for Muay Thai techniques.
Which boxing gloves are best for beginners?
For beginners, 12 oz. or 14 oz. gloves are the most versatile choice. They provide a balance between protection and comfort, making them ideal for general training and sparring.
How often should I replace my boxing gloves?
The lifespan of boxing gloves depends on usage and care. On average, training gloves last 6–12 months with regular use. If you notice worn padding, reduced wrist support, or odor that doesn’t go away, it’s time to replace them.
What are boxing gloves made of?
High-quality boxing gloves are made from genuine leather or durable microfiber. YOKKAO gloves are handcrafted in Thailand with reinforced stitching and multi-layered foam padding for maximum durability and impact absorption.
Can I use the same boxing gloves for sparring and bag work?
It’s possible, but not ideal. Bag work wears down gloves faster due to repeated heavy impact, while sparring requires softer padding for safety. Many fighters prefer one pair for bags/pads and another for sparring.
How do I clean and maintain my boxing gloves?
After training, wipe your gloves with a dry cloth and let them air out in a cool, ventilated area. Use glove deodorizers or inserts to keep them fresh. Avoid leaving them in your gym bag where moisture and bacteria build up.
Are heavier boxing gloves better for training?
Heavier gloves (16–18 oz.) are often used for sparring because they provide extra padding, improving safety. However, lighter gloves (10–12 oz.) are preferred for bag and pad work to build speed and precision.
