- These Muay Thai Gloves 500 were developed with the Decathlon Thailand teams in order to perfectly meet the needs of Thai boxing. They were tested and approved by intermediate Muay Thai boxers in France and Thailand.
- Muay Thai is a unique style of boxing: clinches and throws are allowed during fights. So it is common for boxers to grab each others' torsos or neck. To make clinches easier, gloves should be soft and flexible; thanks to the glove's foam layer construction, it is easier to open and close the hand. The cuff is also very short, which allows the wrist to bend more easily.
- To limit odours and moisture in your gloves, consider using straps (ref: 8558269) or glove liners (ref: 8766117). Easy to remove and wash, they extend the life span of your gloves by limiting unpleasant odours. You can also use glove driers (ref: 8600604) to fully dry out your gloves between workouts. By airing out your gloves, you reduce unpleasant odours due to moisture.
- Boxing gloves come in different sizes so you can find the right fit. They are sized based on your body size rather than your hand size. Women: 45 to 55 kg -> 10 oz. 55 to 65 kg -> 12 oz. 65 to 75 kg -> 14 oz. > 75 kg -> 16 oz. Men's: 55 to 65 kg -> 10 oz. 65 to 80 kg -> 12 oz. 80 to 95 kg -> 14 oz. > 95 kg -> 16 oz.
