Which sizes are suitable for children?
Ounces indicate the weight and therefore the size of the boxing gloves. The higher the weight, the thicker the padding. In relation to the ounces, the size of the boxing gloves is also referred to as the size of the weight. Depending on the size and age of the children, boxing gloves in sizes 6 to 10 OZ are used.
The 6 ounce size is suitable for children up to the age of 10. Children are only legally allowed to take part in boxing training from the age of 10. From the age of 12, children can take part in competitions, whereby gloves of 10 ounces can be used, but generally 6 to 8 OZ are worn. For children, the corresponding weight of 283.5 grams is comfortable to wear.

The ounces depend on the weight class of the boxer and the intended use. They become proportionally larger the higher the ounces.
These weight estimates are purely indicative and are intended to provide a theoretical point of reference.
The choice of glove size also depends on the desired use of the glove (intensity, frequency and type of training) or on the protection you require (the heavier the glove, the more foam layers protect the fist).
Do not hesitate to ask your coach for advice if you are unsure.
Cleaning and storage.
Protect the boxing gloves from moisture and wetness. Always wear with bandages and store in a dry place. After sport, open the fasteners wide and allow the gloves to air out well so that perspiration can evaporate. If gloves become very wet, stuff them with paper or similar. Clean by hand with lukewarm water or a mild detergent solution.
Thoroughly remove cleaning agent residues with a damp cloth and wipe dry with a soft cloth. Allow to dry at ambient temperature in a well-ventilated room. Never leave outdoors overnight. Avoid heat sources and extreme temperatures. Never use chemicals, paint thinner, petrol, alcohol or harsh cleaning agents for cleaning, as these can damage the surface. Treat leather with a suitable, colourless care product.
Can boxing gloves be washed in the washing machine?
You should avoid washing boxing gloves in the washing machine. The upper material (leather or nowadays mostly plastic) would become brittle and could even tear. For this reason, machine washing is not usually recommended by the manufacturers.
A damp cloth with a little soap is all you need to wash or clean the upper material. If you follow the tips and, above all, always dry your boxing gloves consistently after every training session, there will be no problems with odours so quickly.
