How do I choose boxing gloves for sparring?

[Loqian]

I’m about to start regular sparring sessions, and suddenly choosing gloves feels way more complicated than when I just hit the bag. Padding type, weight, fit — everyone seems to have an opinion. My coach mentioned that the right pair can help both my technique and my partner’s safety. I’d rather get it right the first time than buy multiple pairs. What criteria helped you pick gloves that worked well in actual sparring?

As workouts became more demanding, I realised that comfort plays a bigger role in performance than most beginners expect. Searching through community experiences helped me understand why some gear simply feels better over time. Right in the centre of https://developer.optimove.com/discu...293a66b19f8d4f the discussion about user experience and reliability connected with my own journey of upgrading boxing equipment. When gear works with you rather than against you, training becomes smoother and far more rewarding.
