In this blog post, we discuss the most important pieces of equipment that every boxer, whether beginner or advanced, needs. We'll show you what you should look out for when buying and which products are particularly recommended in the Vikingstore.

Why is the right boxing equipment important?
The right equipment not only protects your health, but also helps you to realise your full potential in boxing. Whether you're sparring, competing or in the gym - good boxing equipment ensures that you can train efficiently, safely and injury-free.
Essential items of equipment
Boxing gloves
Boxing gloves are the be-all and end-all of boxing equipment. They provide the necessary protection for your hands and those of your training partner.
What you should look out for:
- Size and weight: gloves come in different sizes (oz), which should be adjusted according to body weight and training intensity.

Bandages
Bandages are important for stabilising wrists and ankles and preventing injuries. They are an essential accessory that you should wear under your boxing gloves.
What you should look out for:
- Length and material: the longer the supports, the more protection they offer. A soft, breathable material is ideal.
- Recommended products: Again, you'll find various options in the Vikingstore, including elasticated and traditional cotton bandages.
Head protection
Good head protection is essential, especially for sparring and beginners. It protects your head from injuries and impacts.
What you should look out for:
Fit: The head protection must fit well without restricting your field of vision.
Ventilation: Make sure it is breathable so that you don't overheat during training.

The right clothing can have a significant impact on your training. Lightweight, breathable fabrics are ideal so that you can move freely.
As a beginner, it is sufficient to wear normal sportswear. You don't need special boxing shorts and the like to start with.
What you should look out for:
Comfort: Make sure that the clothing is not restrictive and offers you enough freedom of movement.
Recommended products: You can find a selection of high-quality training clothing in the Vikingstore and in our branches in Bern and St. Gallen.
