Sting Armaplus Boxing Gloves - Matte Black - 16oz

Sting Armaplus Boxing Gloves - Matte Black Sting's signature training glove - light, cool and built to be worn every day. The Armaplus is the glove Sting sells more of than any other, and the reason is simple: it does the everyday work - bag, pads, classes, technical sparring - without the weight, heat or price of a leather sparring glove. The high-performance T3 outer is light and manages moisture and temperature, so your hands stay cooler and drier through a full session, and the matte black finish holds up to constant bag contact without showing every scuff. Inside, an anatomically designed square-shouldered mould sets the hand in a natural fist with the wrist aligned, the Hi-Flow Core system spreads the glove weight evenly for a balanced feel, and a shock-absorbent system takes the sting out of repeated impact. Sting's patented floating liner sits between hand and padding to cushion the fit and cut internal wear, and a 3-inch hook-and-loop wrist strap locks it all down. Who It Suits Beginners buying their first proper glove, boxing-fitness class members, and anyone who wants one light glove for bag work and pads. This colourway carries the full 10-16oz range, so it also covers gym-mandated 14oz and 16oz sparring weights. For regular hard sparring, step up to the Sting Viper X sparring gloves; for a slightly more protective training glove with SLV3 outer see the Sting Armalite.

Try them on over hand wraps, as that's how you'll train. Frequently Asked Questions Are these good for beginners? Yes - this is the glove we'd point most first-time buyers to. It's light, comfortable straight out of the box, easy to get on and off, and the square-shoulder mould helps you make a correct fist while you're still learning. Can I spar in these? In 14oz or 16oz, light-to-moderate sparring is fine and meets most gym weight rules. 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. The T3 outer is a lightweight synthetic - it's what keeps the glove light and cool and the price where it is. Sting's leather-outer gloves sit in the Viper range. 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.
