Specification

What goes into custom MMA sparring gloves

MMA sparring gloves are built to protect a training partner. They carry much thicker foam over the knuckles than a fight glove, typically 7 to 8 oz, and keep the open palm and finger loops, so members can strike and grapple in the same round. We make them to your specification, padding, shell, finger loops, wrist strap, colours and logo, and you approve a sample before bulk.

Choosing and using

Getting custom MMA sparring gloves right

Why sparring and fight gloves are kept apart

A fight glove is typically 4 oz, with minimal padding made for a bout. In training, it lands much harder on a partner than a sparring glove, so gyms keep a separate set for sparring, with much thicker foam over the knuckles and the same open palm for grappling.

Sparring and fight gloves are different products, each with its own patterns and set-up, so each has its own minimum of 50 pairs per design. They can still be made in one colour scheme and ordered together.

Questions

Questions about custom MMA sparring gloves

7 answers buyers ask for most. Choose one to open it.

Still have a question?

Ask it the way you would ask a coach. A person replies within one working day.

What is the difference between MMA sparring and fight gloves?
Fight gloves are typically 4 oz, with minimal padding for bouts. Sparring gloves are typically 7 to 8 oz, with much thicker foam over the knuckles to protect a training partner, while keeping the open palm for grappling. MMA glove types and weights, explained
Can sparring and fight gloves be in one order?
Yes, in the same colour scheme. They are different products with their own patterns and set-up, so each needs its own 50 pairs per design, split across sizes S to XL in any mix.
Which shell suits gym sparring stock?
Microfibre and Maya hide last well under daily sparring and wipe clean, which suits gloves shared across a gym. Genuine cowhide suits a premium line, and PU an entry-level one. The shell is confirmed on your sample.
What do the mockup and sample cost?
Mockups are free, with as many changes as you need. The physical sample is priced on its specification and customisation, so its price depends on what you choose, and it is in your quote before we make it. The sample reaches you in 7–10 days, and when you go ahead with bulk, half of the sample price is credited against your bulk order. If the sample needs changes, the revised sample and its price are agreed with you before we make it. If a change is needed because we made a mistake, the revised sample is free.
Can you make MMA sparring gloves under our own brand?
Yes. Your logo, printed labels and packaging are part of the specification, and your artwork, mockups and approved specification stay yours. We never sell your design or make it for anyone else.
Will a reorder match the first batch?
Your approved sample stays in our workshop for at least two years after your last order and your specification is stored digitally, so a reorder doesn't need a new sample: it goes straight to production, from 25 per design. Your dispatch date is confirmed in writing when you place it. How reorders work
How long does an order take?
Production starts when you approve your sample, and bulk typically takes 4–6 weeks from approval, plus courier transit. Your exact dispatch date is confirmed in writing with your quote.
