Boxing gloves for children

Gloves boxing gloves for children on offer at SportanoWhen young boxing enthusiasts start out in the sport, it is crucial to provide them with the right equipment to guarantee both comfort and safety. Children's hands are sensitive and not fully developed, so standard adult boxing gloves may not offer adequate protection. In addition, well-fitting equipment increases a young boxer's confidence and allows them to concentrate fully on training. At Sportano, you will find high-quality boxing gloves for children from renowned brands such as RDX, Everlast, Overlord and LEONE 1947.Construction and design: how do children's gloves differ differ from adult models?Boxing gloves for children have been designed with the specific needs of young athletes in mind. In the first instance, size is the most noticeable differentiating factor. Children's hands are naturally smaller, which means that the gloves need to be adapted to these smaller sizes while still providing full protection. Compared to adult gloves, children's models have a shorter cuff area and are much lighter. Another key element is the thickness of the liner. Due to the lighter weight of children, their blows do not generate the same force as adults. Nevertheless, protection against shock and injury is absolutely key, which is why the padding in children's gloves is often thicker and softer, ensuring maximum comfort during training. The design and colours of children's boxing gloves also often differ from adult models. Manufacturers focus on attractive designs and bright colours that can attract the attention of younger users.Materials and safety: choosing the right materials for the little onesIn the world of boxing, especially when it comes to training children, choosing the right materials for boxing gloves is crucial. Children's hands are sensitive, delicate and still growing, making them particularly susceptible to injury. Therefore, it is extremely important that the gloves are made of materials that offer maximum protection while being comfortable and functional. Many boxing gloves for children are made of high-quality synthetic leather or natural leather. These materials are prized for their durability, shock-absorbing ability and wearing comfort. Leather, due to its natural properties, is often chosen as the outer material because it is resistant to abrasion while providing excellent ventilation. The inner lining of the gloves is equally important. It usually consists of a dense foam or gel, which is designed to absorb and dissipate impact energy. The dense foam or gel offers extra cushioning and protects the hands from injury. It is important that the inner padding is thick enough, but not so thick that it impedes hand movement. Some children's gloves may also have additional reinforcements in strategic areas, such as the knuckles or wrists, to provide even more protection. These reinforcements are crucial as they protect the weakest points of the hand from injury. Another aspect worth noting is the way the gloves are stitched. Robust stitching ensures that the gloves will not fall apart during intense training sessions. It is therefore worth paying attention to the quality of workmanship and choosing products from reputable manufacturers. Finally, when choosing boxing gloves for children, it is also worth considering materials that are easy to clean. Children often sweat during training and moisture can lead to bacterial growth. Moisture-resistant and easy-to-clean materials ensure that the gloves stay fresh and odour-free for a longer period of time.Fitting to hands: how to fit gloves to small hands?The key to choosing the right boxing gloves for children is to ensure that they fit perfectly. An inadequate fit can lead to injury and will not provide adequate protection. To fit the gloves correctly, the first thing to do is to measure the circumference of the child's hand. Many sports shops have special size charts that will help you determine the exact size needed. Once you have determined the right size, it is a good idea to try on several pairs of gloves, observing how well they fit the hand and whether the cuff of the glove wraps well around the wrist. It is important that the gloves are neither too loose nor too tight. The ideal gloves should fit snugly against the hand but still allow the fingers to flex freely. Velcro straps or lacing systems are commonly used in children's boxing gloves to ensure a proper fit. These systems allow the gloves to be easily adjusted and fitted to a child's growing hands. For extra safety, it's also worth looking at gloves with extra reinforcements in the wrist area to help stabilise during strikes.
