Why choose lace-up training gloves over hook-and-loop?

Lace-up gloves provide a tighter, more custom fit around the wrist than hook-and-loop closures. Many serious sparring athletes prefer lace-up for the additional wrist lockdown during hard rounds. The trade-off is that you need a training partner or coach to lace them up — so these are best for gym sessions rather than solo bag work.

What sizes are the APEX A4 available in?

The APEX A4 is available in 10, 12, 14, and 16 oz in both red and blue. For sparring, 14–16 oz is recommended for most adult fighters.

What is the difference between the APEX A4 (training) and APEX A2/A3 (competition) gloves?

The APEX A4 is a training and sparring glove with heavier padding (10–16 oz) designed for daily training use. The APEX A2 and A3 are competition fight gloves in 8–10 oz with minimal padding optimised for fight-day performance only. Never use competition fight gloves for sparring — always use appropriately padded training gloves.

Can these gloves be used on the heavy bag?

Yes — the APEX A4's LumeX padding handles heavy bag, pad work, and sparring equally well. The lace-up closure provides excellent wrist support across all training applications.
