FAQs
What activities are these gloves best suited for?
These gloves are ideal for fitness boxing, bag work, mitt training, and general recreational boxing workouts. They are designed for beginners and those focusing on cardiovascular fitness.
How do I choose the correct size for me?
The Lonsdale Contender Gloves are available in Junior, S/M, and L/XL sizes. We recommend trying them on if possible, or consulting a size chart that typically correlates hand circumference with glove size. Ensure a snug fit that allows for full range of motion without being too tight.
Can I use these gloves for sparring?
These gloves are primarily designed for fitness and light bag work due to their lightweight nature and padding. While they offer protection, they may not provide sufficient padding for heavy, competitive sparring against an opponent. For sparring, heavier gloves (e.g., 14oz, 16oz) are usually recommended.
How do I clean and maintain my gloves?
After each use, allow your gloves to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area. You can wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution if needed. Do not submerge them in water or machine wash them.
What material are these gloves made from?
The Lonsdale Contender Gloves feature a durable Micro Synthetic Leather (PVC) exterior, with a soft polyester lining and premium foam padding for comfort and protection.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel too loose or too tight.
Ensure you have selected the correct size (Junior, S/M, L/XL) based on your hand measurements. The elasticated wrist provides a snug fit, but if it's uncomfortable, re-check your size. Gloves should feel snug but not restrictive.
Hands feel excessively sweaty or hot during use.
The gloves feature a vented inner thumb and mesh grip bars to promote airflow. Ensure your hands are clean and dry before putting on the gloves. After your workout, allow the gloves to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area to prevent moisture buildup.
Gloves are developing an odor.
Odor is typically caused by trapped moisture and bacteria. Always air dry your gloves thoroughly after each use. You can also wipe the inside lining with a cloth dampened with a mild antibacterial solution, then allow to air dry completely.

They are designed for use with punching bags, focus mitts, and for general fitness boxing workouts. The Micro Synthetic Leather (PVC) material is compatible with standard boxing equipment.
Care
- Drying: After each use, allow the gloves to air dry completely. The vented grip bar and inner thumb are designed to help with quick drying. Do not store them in a sealed bag immediately after use, as this can trap moisture.
- Cleaning: Wipe down the exterior of the gloves with a damp cloth and mild soap (if necessary) to remove sweat and dirt. Do not submerge the gloves in water or machine wash them.
- Storage: Store your gloves in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to preserve their material and padding.
