The key differences between genuine leather and microfiber boxing gloves lie in the materials, durability, and maintenance:

Material

• Genuine Leather: Made from animal hide (usually cowhide), known for its toughness and flexibility.
• Microfiber: A synthetic material engineered to mimic leather, varying in quality but designed for performance.

Durability

• Genuine Leather: Long-lasting with proper care, retains quality over time.
• Microfiber: While standard microfiber is not as long-lasting as leather, Fairtex uses premium microfiber for enhanced durability to extend the life of your glove.

Maintenance

• Genuine Leather: Requires conditioning and cleaning to prevent drying, cracking, and odor.
• Microfiber: Easier to maintain, more moisture-resistant, and less prone to odor.

Choose based on your preferences, budget, and usage.

Gloves are measured in ounces (oz), typically ranging from 8 oz to 20 oz. Your ideal size depends on weight, training type, and preference:
