Essential Bag Gloves for Heavy Bag and Pad Work

When it comes to boxing training, one of the most essential pieces of equipment in any fighter’s gym bag is a solid pair of bag gloves. Whether you're a beginner learning the fundamentals or a seasoned fighter sharpening your technique, having the right gloves makes all the difference in performance, protection, and longevity—for both you and your gear.

At MMA Fight Store, our curated selection of bag gloves is tailored to meet the demands of all levels of fighters. From heavy hitters to cardio-focused boxers, the range includes premium designs that offer superior wrist support, comfort, and durability.

What Are Bag Gloves?

Bag gloves are specially designed for hitting heavy bags, speed bags, and pad work. Unlike traditional sparring gloves, which prioritise protection for both you and your opponent, bag gloves are built primarily for impact resistance and wrist support during high-volume training sessions.

They often feature:

• Dense foam padding to protect your knuckles
• Reinforced wrist straps for stability
• Breathable materials for comfort during long workouts
• Streamlined shapes for precision and speed

These gloves allow you to go all-out on the bag while reducing the risk of injury and fatigue.

Choosing the Right Bag Gloves

When picking your gloves, consider the following:

• Fit & Feel: A snug, secure fit helps maintain proper form and minimises the risk of sprains.
• Weight: Bag gloves typically range from 8oz to 12oz. Lighter gloves are great for speed work, while heavier ones offer more resistance training.
