BOON Compact vs BOON Classic
BOON has two styles of Velcro gloves, both of which are hand made in Thailand from top grain cowhide. The Compact gloves have a shorter cuff, with a more snug fit due to the smaller hand compartment. Compacts are ideal for athletes with smaller hands or those who prefer a tighter fit.
Classic gloves are renowned for their wrist protection due to the longer cuff, although smaller athletes might find this too long. The hand compartment offers a more spacious, traditional fit.
In short, while both gloves are suitable for all sparring and all types of training, Compact are more suited to smaller athletes, while Classic are preferred by larger people. To disinfect the inside of the gloves, lightly spray a 50/50 mix of water and white vinegar or rubbing alcohol, then place in a warm area to dry. To prevent cracking in dry climates, use a leather conditioner. For a deeper clean use a glove deodorizer or baking soda to absorb moisture and order.
Lace up Gloves vs Velcro Gloves
For beginners or general training, use the following chart as a guideline based on your body weight:
Boon gloves are crafted from 100% premium quality leather crafted in Thailand.
It’s common to have different sized gloves for different training purposes. For heavy bag and pad work, 10 – 12oz are typically used, while for sparring 14-16oz are used. Having more padding can reduce impact and help absorb blows when blocking punches, while the extra weight slows punches.
Smaller people may spar lightly in 12oz gloves, while for others these are too small. Some gyms nominate what sized gloves can be used for sparring, so this is something you may want to check.
For amateur competition 10oz gloves are used for Light Flyweight to Light Welterweight and Welterweight through to Heavyweight uses 12oz gloves. For professional competition the lace up 8oz are used up to 147lbs (67kg) and 10oz for sizes above that.
It’s important to wear hand wraps when training and this needs to be taken into account when trying on gloves.
