Sting Armalite Boxing Gloves - Black/Silver - 10oz

Sting Armalite Boxing Gloves - Black / Silver The tough one - SLV3 shell and SAS layering for gloves that take a beating and keep going. The Sting Armalite is built around durability. Where the Armaplus uses a light T3 skin for speed and breathability, the Armalite runs Sting's SLV3 outer - a tougher synthetic shell engineered to hold up to heavy bag rounds session after session - backed by an SAS shock-absorption layer between the outer and the core. If your gloves die on the bag before they die anywhere else, this is the Sting glove for you. Inside, the Hi-Flow Core distributes the glove weight evenly and absorbs impact, a round-shouldered construction adds knuckle and back-of-hand protection, and Sting's Comfortline 3D heat and moisture management liner keeps the hand cool and dry. A 3-inch hook-and-loop wrist strap gives a secure, adjustable fit you can manage one-handed. Who It Suits Beginners through intermediate boxers who train several times a week and want a glove that lasts, heavy-bag regulars, and boxing-fitness members who are hard on gear. It sits above the Sting Armaplus (lighter, cooler, less padding) and below the leather Sting Armapro and Orion. For regular hard sparring, see the Viper X.

Sting's body-weight guide is a starting point; if your gym mandates 16oz for sparring, that overrides it. Try them on over hand wraps, as that's how you'll train. Frequently Asked Questions Armalite or Armaplus - which should I buy? Durability versus weight. The Armalite's SLV3 shell and SAS layer make it the tougher, more padded glove for heavy bag work and frequent training; the Armaplus is lighter and cooler and suits speed work and classes. If you hit the bag hard three or more times a week, Armalite. Can I spar in these? Light-to-moderate sparring in 16oz, yes. For regular hard sparring a dedicated sparring glove with more padding and wrist support - the Viper X - is the better tool and kinder to your partner. Are they leather? No. SLV3 is a synthetic outer that Sting engineers for durability - it resists cracking and peeling on the bag better than most leather at this price. Sting's leather gloves are the Armapro and Orion. How do I care for them? Pull the strap open and let them air dry after every session - never leave them zipped in a bag. Wipe the outer with a damp cloth and use a glove deodoriser for the liner. Keep them out of direct sun and hot cars.
