Heritage & Innovation
Discover the fusion of tradition & innovation. Explore how premium leather, satin liner, NASA foam, & horsehair in our gloves offer unmatched durability & comfort.
Leather
This premium leather, crafted specifically for high-performance applications, is an ideal choice for high-end boxing gloves. Originating from dairy cow hides in the upper Midwest, including states like Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Iowa, and Illinois, it epitomizes the essence of American craftsmanship.
What sets this leather apart is its unique blend of attributes tailored for demanding environments like firefighting. It boasts a low water absorption rate, ensuring that the gloves remain lightweight and manageable even in sweaty conditions. This is further enhanced by protective oils embedded in the leather, offering resistance against sweat and acidic body fluids, thereby prolonging the lifespan of the gloves.In terms of durability, it excels with high tear strength, capable of withstanding the rigorous use in boxing. Elasticity is another key feature, allowing the leather to form snugly around the fingers, providing both comfort and a secure fit for the boxer.
The lightweight nature of this leather ensures that the gloves won’t be cumbersome, allowing for quick and agile movements. Additionally, being Berry Amendment compliant, it meets strict standards for military and defense-related use in the United States, further testifying to its quality and reliability.By incorporating this fireproof, durable, and flexible leather into our high-end boxing gloves, we are not just offering a superior product, but also a piece of American heritage and craftsmanship.
Horsehair
For many generations, horsehair served as a primary component in the production of boxing gloves. However, in the past three decades, this traditional material has gradually given way to more contemporary foams.
The utilization of horsehair offers several advantages. Firstly, it exhibits remarkable longevity, with far less propensity for deterioration over time. During the initial break-in period, horsehair has the capacity to adapt and conform to the unique contours of your hand, thereby providing a customized fit.
It is worth noting that we encase the horsehair within a quilted pocket to mitigate the risk of flat spots forming. The combination of NASA foam and horsehair culminates in the creation of exceptionally protective and gratifying gloves. These gloves not only feel like a natural extension of your arm but also offer a level of safeguarding that is appreciated by both your hands and your training partners.
NASA Foam
NASA foam represents a technological marvel initially developed by NASA to safeguard sensitive instruments from pressure-induced damage. Its exceptional shock absorption and energy dissipation properties make it a cornerstone of some of the most advanced protective materials available today.
Boasting 100% memory retention, it resists degradation over time and minimizes moisture absorbtion. In contrast, numerous glove manufacturers continue to utilize outdated padding materials like latex and injection-molded foams.
At our core, we uphold the time-honored traditions of boxing and lessons learned from correct anatomical design. However, we believe that preserving these traditions should not come at the expense of maintaining healthy hands. While delivering superior protection, the compressive characteristics of our NASA foam also provide an immensely gratifying tactile experience. Our foam inspires you to unleash your full force on the heavy bag, without enduring the subsequent hand discomfort often associated with high impacts.
Liner
Extensive research and rigorous testing occupied a significant portion of our development process. Our meticulous evaluation led us to choose heavy-duty nylon satin as the ideal liner material for our gloves.
This choice was driven by its exceptional characteristics, including its luxuriously soft texture, resistance to moisture without accumulating heat, effective odor resistance, and outstanding durability. It was essential to select a liner that not only provided these qualities but also maintained a thickness and structure that prevented it from becoming entangled with your fingers.
Our nylon satin strikes a perfect balance, offering sufficient rigidity to stay in place as intended, while remaining soft enough to deliver a comfortable and satisfying sensation when you insert your hand into our glove.
