Selecting the right glove can seem complex, but it comes down to three key factors:

Glove size is measured in ounces (oz), which indicates the level of padding. For general training and heavy bag work, 12oz or 14oz is a great choice. For sparring in Australia, 16oz is the standard to ensure safety for both you and your training partner. Your body weight can also be a factor, with heavier individuals opting for heavier gloves.
Genuine leather gloves are considered the premium choice for their superior durability, breathability, and ability to conform to your hand over time. However, high-quality synthetic (PU) gloves offer excellent performance and are a more affordable, vegan-friendly option, making them perfect for beginners or those on a budget.
It's highly recommended to have separate gloves. Using your sparring gloves (e.g., 16oz) on a heavy bag will compress and harden the padding, making them less safe for sparring. Bag gloves have denser foam designed for impact, which is not suitable for use against a training partner.
For beginners in Australia, we recommend a 12oz or 14oz 'all-purpose' or 'training' glove made from a durable synthetic leather. This provides a fantastic balance of protection, versatility, and affordability as you begin your training on pads and bags.
After every session, wipe your gloves inside and out with a cloth and let them air dry completely. Never leave them in a closed gym bag. Using glove deodorisers or stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and prevent the growth of odour-causing bacteria.
