Speed Meets Protection with the 14oz Premium Glove
The 14oz glove is the most versatile tool in a boxer’s gym bag. It sits right in the middle of the weight classes. It is lighter than a 16 oz glove which makes it faster for bag work, but it has more padding than a fight glove. We built the Hit N Move 14oz glove as the best choice for fighters who do a little bit of everything in their training sessions.
Why is it in the “Do-It-All” Weight Class?
This is the perfect weight for hitting the heavy bag because it does not tire your shoulders out as fast as a heavy sparring glove. However, it is still safe enough to use for partner drills and light technical sparring, depending on your gym. You can move from the bag to the mitts and not have to change your speed of your practice. This is great for practicing new moves and combinations.
Usually, going lighter means losing protection. We fixed this by using high-density padding that absorbs shock effectively. This means you can trust these 14 oz gloves to protect your knuckles during a long session on the heavy bag, just like a heavier glove would.
Features That Let You Perform
-
Faster Hands: The lighter weight allows you to throw faster combinations. You can work on your hand speed and snap on the mitts better without heavy gloves dragging you down. It is great for training your fast-twitch muscles.
-
Compact Design: Unlike a puffy 16oz glove, our 14 oz profile is slimmer and more compact. This helps you see your shots better. It also allows you to slip punches through a tight guard during technical drills.
-
Leather Construction: Even though it is lighter, we do not use cheap materials. We use 100% genuine leather that can handle the sweat and impact of daily training. It will not crack or peel after a few months of hard use.
-
Your Choice of Closure: You can choose the style that fits your training. Pick Lace-Up for a secure and custom fit that supports your wrist. Or, you can choose Hook-and-Loop (Velcro) if you need to switch quickly between bag work and callisthenics exercises.
Train Faster and Hit Harder!
If you only buy one pair of gloves for general training, the 14oz boxing gloves are a great choice. They offer the speed you want for the bag and the safety you need for drills. They are the right middle ground for most athletes. Check out the range today!

You will be able to feel the difference between a 12 oz and a 14 oz glove, but it is not a huge jump. The 14 oz glove will have a little bit more padding especially over the knuckles. This can give you a little extra protection when you are hitting a heavy bag.
