What is the difference between the S4 Youth Boxing Gloves and the S4 Youth Epic Boxing Gloves?

Both are built on the same S4 youth construction platform with identical protection and construction quality. The difference is the design aesthetic: the S4 Youth Boxing Gloves come in classic solid colourways (Black, Charcoal, Cyan, Pink, Purple, White) for practitioners who prefer a traditional look. The S4 Youth Epic Boxing Gloves feature fun character-themed designs (Blue Robot, Fairy, Flames, Pink Star) aimed at younger children who benefit from exciting gear to maintain training motivation. Choose based on your child’s preference for classic or character designs.

What weight should I choose — 6 oz or 8 oz?

6 oz gloves suit younger children and smaller youth athletes, typically in the 5–8 age range or under approximately 65 lbs. 8 oz gloves suit slightly older or larger youth athletes, typically 8–12 years old or 65–100 lbs. These are general guidelines — the right choice depends more on hand size and training context than strict age. Your child’s coach can confirm the appropriate weight based on how the gloves fit during pad and bag work. For youth sparring, 8 oz provides more protection than 6 oz.

Are these suitable for youth competition boxing?

For official youth competition boxing, glove weight requirements are set by the governing body — most youth boxing organizations specify minimum glove weights by age and weight class. Verify your competition’s specific requirements with your coach before competing. For gym training and informal inter-club events, the S4 Youth Boxing Gloves provide appropriate protection at both available weights.

How do I maintain youth boxing gloves?

Air out gloves immediately after every session — remove them promptly and never seal them in a bag while still damp. Wipe down the exterior with a slightly damp cloth. Use a child-safe deodorizer spray on the interior. Keep the velcro closure clean of hair and debris to maintain a secure fit. Inspect the padding periodically — once foam shows signs of permanent compression, the gloves should be replaced as they no longer provide adequate protection.
