Sting Viper X Sparring Gloves | Superior Wrist Support & Precision Fit
The gold standard for precision fit. The Sting Viper X Lace-Up Sparring Gloves combine old-school craftsmanship with modern impact technology. Designed for professional preparation, these gloves offer a "cast-like" fit that secures the hand and wrist better than any other closure system.
The Viper X Lace-Up is engineered for the technical striker who prioritizes wrist structural integrity and absolute security during high-intensity sparring rounds.
Why Choose the Viper X Lace-Up?
1) Premium “Lifespan” Durability Constructed from Full Grain Natural Leather Hide, the Viper X is built to withstand the rigors of a full fight camp. The premium leather outer layer resists tearing and abrasion, breaking in over time to mold perfectly to your knuckles for a truly custom feel.
2) Intelligent Impact Distribution Sting utilizes a Hi-Flow Mould Construction. This core absorbs the kinetic energy of heavy strikes and disperses it throughout the glove. This protects your hands from impact shock and reduces the force felt by your sparring partner, making these an excellent choice for controlled, technical work.
3) Anatomical "Square Shoulder" Fit The Viper X features an Anatomically Designed Square Shouldered Mould. This provides ample room for a proper fist formation without squeezing the fingers. When combined with the lace-up closure, this design pulls the glove tight against the hand for a streamlined, extension-of-your-arm feel.
4) Unmatched Wrist Stability The definitive advantage of this glove is the Extra Long Wrist Cuff paired with the lace-up system. Once tightened, this creates a rigid splint effect from the forearm to the knuckles. This locking mechanism significantly reduces the risk of wrist hyper-flexion during awkward impacts or heavy blocking.

Sambo Store Pro-Tip
Lace-up gloves offer the smoothest surface area for your sparring partner (no Velcro scratches in the clinch). However, they require help to put on. If you train alone but want the superior wrist support of laces, we recommend purchasing a Lace-Converter or "Lace N Loop" system.
