Every material choice was selected for durability, knuckle safety, and wrist lockdown.
Combines Pearl Foam, High-Density EVA, and soft Latex to absorb heavy impacts while preserving hand alignment during intense rounds. Safe for sparring and heavy bagwork.
Dual hook-and-loop Velcro straps anchor the wrist from opposing angles, preventing dangerous backward bending during heavy bag sessions and sparring.
Premium real cowhide leather finished in a rich multi-tonal Oxblood maroon hue. Built to mold to your fists and withstand years of daily gym punishment.
Read feedback from active boxers, coaches, and striking athletes who put these gloves through everyday hard rounds.
"I've been boxing for 7 years and usually only trust lace-up gloves because normal velcro bends backward on heavy hooks. The twin-strap on this 16oz glove locks the wrist bone down like plaster. The full-grain leather is thick and feels like real artisan craft. Incredible value at £79.99."
"A lot of 16oz gloves are either rock-hard foam that injures sparring partners, or spongy pillows that compress into your knuckles on bag rounds. The tri-layer foam in KingGear gets it right. My gym members have been asking where they can get a pair."
"Ordered on Tuesday morning and they were delivered to my door in Birmingham on Wednesday. The thumb contour prevents thumb jams when catching hooks or throwing into elbows. The oxblood maroon color looks even better in person under gym lighting."

Clear, honest answers about our cowhide leather, fighter construction, sizing, and guarantees.
Yes, 100% genuine 0.9mm full-grain cowhide leather. We never use synthetic PU, bonded leather, or cheap microfibers that crack, peel, and smell after a few months of sweat. Full-grain cowhide conforms to your fist with each training round and develops a rich natural patina over years of hard gym training.
Traditional single-strap velcro gloves easily twist or pop loose on hard impacts. Lace-up gloves offer elite wrist support, but you need someone in the gym to tie and untie you every time you want a sip of water. Our Twin-Strap Counter-Lock System gives you lace-up level wrist rigidity from two independent anchor points—while allowing you to take them on and off by yourself in 5 seconds.
Yes, 16 oz is the standard UK sparring weight mandated across virtually all amateur and professional boxing gyms for safety. Our multi-layer foam core (Pearl Foam + High-Density EVA + Latex) is engineered to protect your sparring partner’s face while absorbing maximum shock when landing heavy power shots on heavy bags.
Lighter weights (8oz, 10oz, 12oz, 14oz) in Royal Blue and Crimson Red, as well as our Oxblood Headguard and No-Foul Groin Guard, are currently in live gym testing with UK fighters. We only release equipment after it passes our durability benchmarks. You can join the Priority Testing Waitlist above to receive early access 24 hours before public drop.
All orders are dispatched directly within the UK via fast, tracked courier delivery. We back every pair with a 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee. If they don't fit or don't meet your training standards, send them back in clean condition for a prompt replacement or refund.
After every training session, wipe off external moisture with a damp microfiber cloth and let them air-dry naturally in a cool, well-ventilated room (never dry on radiators or leave trapped in a gym bag). To keep the cowhide supple and water-repellent, apply a thin coat of leather conditioner every 2–3 months.
