What is the difference between 12oz and 14 oz do the gloves weight more or are they bigger?

Since ounces are a measure of weight, the immediate answer is that they weigh more. They weigh more because more padding has been added, which also makes them bigger. The additional padding reduces somewhat THE possibility of serious damage to an opponent and to your hands.

Hello from Verde River Products- the gloves are 1/4 inch thick and each glove weighs about 6 oz.

Hello...it's no difference in the size....trust me, the 3.3oz is a very good size that last a long time.

My gloves measure 16 1/2" from the middle finger. They are fairly thick, each glove weighing 6 3/4 oz. I don't know what kind of dexterity / safety your looking for. Good luck.

Sorry, I have no idea. I wouldn't purchase gloves from Amazon. They are using a company that ships directly from China and I feel they are unreliable....I ordered 1 pair, size M, just like the ones I'd lost. They were HUGE, and a brand I hadn't ordered. I gave them a bad review, and the company sent me a 2nd pair...just like the first, only they'd replaced the logo with "CoolChange"...very same glove, different logo. I went to the bike shop and bought a new pair!!

I will suggest the 14onz, you have to take in account that you have to wrap your hands before the gloves.

I would get 14 oz. 12 oz is better for fitness training and puts let's stress on your hands. If you are doing sparring 14oz is the lowest I would recommend to start with.

The handles are very substantial. although it would depend on your definition of large. I wear extra large gloves and they are fine for me. The only thing I notice is some exercises cause the handles to dig into your forearms. and due the the extra length of the handle over other models it takes some tinkering to get the right resistance. However they are nearly indestructibly.

They are plenty big. I usually wear an extra large glove and they fit me with room to spare but they won't be too big if you're a size large. My wife uses them as well and her hand is much smaller than mine.

My wife also has small hands and I bought her the 12oz gloves, she doesn't complain about the size being to big or small. My wife is also 4'11.

the 12 oz has a 2 1/4 diameter, the 16 oz has 2 1/2 diameter. In two years, I have only broken one by bashing it in the sink.

The biggest thing I noticed with the red gloves, was the sizing- which seems to be way off because they are much, much larger than any of the other size Mediums I've had. As far as the texture goes, it seems that there's the same amount of texture, but the overall red glove is more slippery/glossy- & doesn't wear in as well, making them harder to handle dishes. I've had True Blues (Med.) in just about every color & love them because of their durability! But if/when I order them again, I will not order red- just to be on the safe side.

The pair I purchased were ADULT XLs, but believe they sell youth sizes. These gloves would probably have saved my son a broken hand his Junior year in high school.

I only have small gloves, so cannot answer your question. I really like mine and I have tried several other brands. These are the best.

8 ounces = 0.5 Lbs. So, think about the type of exercise you plan to perform. If you are mostly looking for aerobic exercise, and you are a small person, 8 ounces are plenty weight for 10-15 min of high intensity shadow boxing/punching bag workout. If you are reasonably fit, and are looking to develop speed/arm-shoulder strength, then going for a heavier set is a good option. In my opinion, 8 and 12 once gloves work fine for any person below 150 lbs, depending on fitness and level of workout desired. I would leave 16 once gloves to individuals above 160 lbs.

Hey Kim, I know exactly what you are saying. If your hands are fragile or wrist are weak, maybe not. With me, 4 in one hand aren't an issue. But I was curious so I weighed them on my kitchen scale, they weighed 27.7 ounces. Hope this helps*
