What Materials Are Best for Boxing Gloves?

Microfiber Boxing Gloves

Advantages: Top microfiber leather has the advantages of abrasion resistance, aging resistance, softness and breathability, and the performance is even better than that of genuine leather. Ordinary microfiber skin is not breathable, but the top-of-the-line ones will be breathable.
Disadvantages: Ordinary microfiber skin is not breathable, and high-end products need to be selected for better breathability.

PU Boxing Gloves

Advantages: The high-quality PU material has high strength, is not easy to crack, and effectively prolongs the service life. In addition, high-quality PU material also has good tear and wear resistance.
Disadvantages: Inferior PU materials have poor tear and tensile wear resistance, and will break after a little time.

PVC Boxing Gloves

PVC gloves are generally of high quality and durability. In addition, the relatively low price of PVC material makes the production cost lower, which reduces the purchase cost for consumers.

PVC gloves are also relatively simple to clean and maintain. Since the PVC material is easy to clean, it is more convenient for users to keep their gloves hygienic and tidy.

The lining and padding of some PVC gloves may appear loose or not tight enough, which may affect the overall performance and protection of the glove.

All things considered, high-quality PU materials and top-of-the-line microfiber leather are considered the best boxing glove materials due to their durability, breathability and comfort. Leather gloves, although more expensive, are also very breathable and comfortable, making them suitable for boxing enthusiasts who train regularly. Vinyl gloves are suitable for beginners or those on a budget.
