FAQs

What are these Lonsdale Contender Gloves best suited for?

These gloves are ideal for individuals getting into boxing, general fitness workouts, bag work, and pad work. They provide excellent comfort and protection for fitness-focused training.

Are these gloves suitable for sparring?

While they offer good padding for general use, these gloves are primarily designed for fitness work and light training. For competitive or heavy sparring, you might want to consider gloves specifically designed for that purpose, which typically offer more dense padding and enhanced wrist support.

How do I choose the correct size?

The Lonsdale Contender Gloves come in Junior, S/M, and L/XL. Typically, S/M suits smaller adult hands or teenagers, while L/XL is for larger adult hands. It's recommended to consult a sizing chart if available or try them on to ensure a snug, comfortable fit, especially if you plan to wear hand wraps.

How should I clean and care for my gloves?

After each use, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and ensure they are thoroughly air-dried in a well-ventilated space. Avoid storing them in a sealed bag when damp. For odors, consider using glove deodorizers. Do not submerge them in water or machine wash.

What material are these gloves made from?

The Lonsdale Contender Gloves feature a Micro Synthetic Leather (PVC) exterior for durability, heavily padded with premium rubber foam, and a soft polyester lining for comfort against the skin.

Do the gloves provide good ventilation?

Yes, a key feature is the vented inner thumb and mesh grip bars, which are specifically designed to allow heat to dissipate and promote airflow, keeping your hands cooler and drier during workouts.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight or too loose.

Ensure you have selected the correct size (Junior, S/M, L/XL). The elasticated wrist provides a secure fit, but if the main glove body is uncomfortable, a different size might be needed. Hand wraps can also affect fit; try adjusting your wrapping technique.

Gloves develop an odor after use.

This is common with sweat. Ensure you air dry your gloves completely after every single use in a well-ventilated area. Never store them in a gym bag wet. Using glove deodorizers or stuffing them with newspaper can also help absorb moisture and neutralize odors.

Hands feel too hot during workouts.

The gloves feature vented inner thumbs and mesh grip bars to help with heat dissipation. Ensure you're not wearing overly thick hand wraps, which can restrict airflow. Take short breaks to allow hands to cool if needed.

Discomfort or rubbing inside the gloves.

Ensure you're wearing appropriate hand wraps, even for fitness work, as they add a layer of comfort and protection. Check for any loose stitching or debris inside the glove. The soft polyester lining should minimize rubbing.

Care

Proper care will extend the life and hygiene of your gloves:

  • Air Dry After Use: Due to the vented inner thumb and mesh grip bars, these gloves are designed to dry quickly. After each use, ensure they are thoroughly air-dried in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or heat sources. This prevents odor and bacterial growth.
  • Wipe Clean: Use a damp cloth to wipe down the exterior of the gloves after each session to remove sweat and grime. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Deodorize (Optional): If odors persist, consider using a glove deodorizer or placing cedar balls inside when not in use.
