The coaching/sparring gloves have a similar design to traditional boxing gloves. They allow the trainer to throw effective jabs and counters during pad work drills. Engineered with an open palm design, Fairtex BGV13 gloves are similar to traditional style focus mitts. The extra padding across the striking surface helps to absorb impact, minimizing strain on the pad holder. The white circles on the palms of the gloves are effective for accuracy drills.
