Cleto Reyes-style gloves are famous for their classic tapered shape and compact, punchy padding. Boxers often call them a “puncher’s glove” because you feel every shot land. Here is what to know before you buy from our Cleto Reyes gloves collection.
What does “puncher’s glove” mean?
The padding is firmer and more compact than pillowy training gloves. That gives a crisp, direct feel on pads and the bag – loved by boxers who want feedback on every punch.
How do they fit?
The hand compartment is typically slim. If you have wide hands, choose a heavier weight or lace-up for more adjustment. More tips: how should boxing gloves fit.
Are they good for sparring?
For sparring, use 16oz and make sure your partner is comfortable with firmer padding. Many boxers keep a puncher’s glove for pads and a softer glove for sparring – see training vs sparring vs fight gloves.
Which colours are available?
Classic red, black, gold, white & gold, tricolour, snakeskin, graffiti and more – in lace-up and hook-and-loop.
