Cleto Reyes Sparring Sets

Cleto Reyes Sparring Sets – Gloves, Headgear & Groin Guard

Every set in this collection includes three colour-matched pieces: lace-up boxing gloves, full-face headgear, and a groin protector. Nothing else is included — no wraps, no rope. Just the three pieces you actually need to spar, matched so they look like they belong together.

The Puncher's Glove

Cleto Reyes-style gloves have been called "the puncher's glove" since 1945, and the nickname is technical, not marketing. The padding is thinner and denser than a typical training glove, and the knuckle area is contoured rather than flat. Less material between your fist and the target means more force transmits through — and more feedback comes back. Fighters who like knowing exactly where a punch landed prefer this build. Fighters who want maximum cushioning for high-volume bag work usually don't.

Extra-Long Cuff

The defining external feature is the long cuff, which extends further up the forearm than most gloves and gives the lace-up closure more surface to anchor against. Combined with lacing, this produces a wrist lock that velcro can't replicate.

Sizing

Gloves: 8oz, 10oz, 12oz, 14oz, 16oz. Headgear and groin guard: S, M, L, XL. Most gyms require 16oz for sparring. If you're between glove sizes, size up — hand wraps take up more room than people expect. Message us before ordering if you want help matching sizes across the three pieces.

Care

Wipe down after every session and air dry away from direct heat. Leather that dries too fast cracks at the flex points. Loosen the laces fully before pulling gloves off, or the cuff stitching wears out early.
