Who This Glove Is For
The Sanabul CORE Series Gel Boxing Gloves are the brand's accessible everyday training glove with gel foam padding for solid impact absorption. The longitudinal arch design promotes a natural fist position, reducing hand fatigue during long sessions. The Core X hook-and-loop closure system wraps around the wrist for a secure fit. Mesh palm panels improve ventilation. Available in 8–16 oz across four colorways: White/Red, Black/Red, Blue/Silver, and Black/Gun Metal.
Who It's Not For
- Heavy sparring — padding not dense enough
- Fighters who prefer traditional lace-up fit
