Boxing Glove Sizing
SMAI boxing gloves, unless specified as ‘Kids’, are all intended for adult use. Unless you have an exceptionally large hand circumference (greater than 9.5”) you should be able to comfortably insert your hand with wrap into any SMAI boxing gloves.
The Gloves are labelled as 8oz, 10oz, 12oz, 14oz,16oz which is a reference to the actual weight of the boxing glove. So a heavier weight will result in a larger glove size (slightly). Conversion of the ounces to grams is as follows:
8oz – 226.8grams
10oz – 283.5grams
12oz – 340.2grams
14oz – 396.9grams
16oz – 453.6grams
How to choose the right boxing glove?
Generally we recommend heavier gloves for sparring and general training (16oz), a medium weight for bag training, drilling and pad work (14-12oz), and a lighter weight for competitions (10oz& 8oz).
You may also want to use Hand Wraps or Quick Wrap to help protect your hands and wrists from injuries.
If you’re still unsure, check out our blog How to Choose the Right Size Boxing Gloves.
COVID-19 UPDATE ON DISPATCH & DELIVERY - JAN 2022
WESTERN AUSTRALIA / PERTH UPDATE JAN 2022
Due to flooding in Western Australia, the rail line linking eastern Australia with WA / Perth has been damaged in multiple locations. Expect shipping delays to WA / Perth.
MELBOURNE UPDATE JAN 2022 - PLEASE BE ADVISED THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT DELAYS (APPROX 4 WEEKS) FOR DELIVERIES TO VICTORIA / MELBOURNE.
All orders are leaving our warehouse within 1-2 business days. However there are extreme delays of up to 4 weeks or more for freight that is arriving at Melbourne based depots. There are extreme backlogs of undelivered freight in Victoria due to COVID-19 absences at courier depots. Please keep this in mind if ordering for delivery to Melbourne that there will be delays.
Our team are doing everything in our control to have orders delivered. Our staff appreciate your kindness and understanding when making enquiries.
PLEASE NOTE: Due to extreme demand within Australian courier networks, some carriers are experiencing a delay of up to 10 days above their standard delivery times. Please check your tracking number directly with the shipping carrier.
Our dispatch times are approx 1-2 business days
We apologise for any inconvenience. Unfortunately these delays are outside of our control. After checking with the carrier if you have any concerns please reach out to our customer service team if you need further assistance.

SHIPPING UPDATE - SHIPPING CARRIERS DEFAULTING DELIVERIES TO AUTHORITY TO LEAVE
The safety of our partners, retailers and customers is our priority. As the cases of COVID-19 increase, to limit contact when delivering orders, all carriers are now defaulting deliveries to authority to leave (ATL) where possible and will not be requesting a physical signature from the customer/receiver.
How will delivery work during this period?
- The driver will knock or ring the bell, place the goods on the ground and step away.
- A driver may choose to note the full name of a customer instead of obtaining a physical signature.
- If the delivery address is unattended and the driver considers there to be a safe area to leave the goods, Authority To Leave will be followed and no name obtained.
- Once the goods are left in a safe area, delivery drivers will do their best to make a note of the location or take a picture as proof of delivery.
What if the goods are of a high value or Authority to Leave isn't possible?
- For a pallet load to residential address or for high volume orders we may send with Main Freight Express who will call prior to delivery to arrange a suitable time.
- For businesses: if your business is not open Monday to Friday 9am-5pm you can also add a neighbouring business that is open during this hours that may be able to receive delivery on your behalf. Alternatively, you can send to a residential address where there may be somewhere safer to leave unattended.
- For residential: please specify somewhere safe to leave delivery (e.g. front door, side gate), or alternatively a friend or family member's address who is home all day (WFH) or have a safer place to leave unattended.
