Materials & Construction

Brenzora training gloves use synthetic leather for easy care and PU foam layers for reliable shock absorption. Look for reinforced stitching and a wide wrist strap for stability.

  • PU leather: affordable, durable, low-maintenance
  • Multi-layer foam: balance of protection and feedback
  • Velcro wrist: fast on/off and adjustable fit

Trainer's tip

Start with 12–14 oz for bag work and progress to 14–16 oz for sparring once technique is consistent. Always pair gloves with hand wraps for added wrist support.
