HAND WRAPS IN BLACK
The SMAI Boxing hand wraps are a must have for anyone participating in the timeless sport of boxing - whether you're a professional or just starting out. The importance of wearing hand wraps is to keep the wrist and hand secure to avoid any unnecessary injury. The tight compression that the wraps provide helps to soften the feeling of impact for the puncher and to maintain the alignment of the small bones/tendons within that area of the body. Also able to be used as Muay Thai Wraps.

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.
