Not all striking gloves are cut from the same cloth. For these 14oz gloves we have painstakingly sourced only the best materials to present to all our HS supporters the best gloves ever, and following your feedback we have made these new designs more roomier to allow the perfect fit even while wearing handwraps.
A sturdy and very durable premium leather has been molded to perfectly fit the contour of one's hand. Extra padding has been added all around to protect the hand also on the side; gone or the days of the cheap flat gloves that look more like one is wearing a ping pong paddle. During the development of these gloves we have amply tested them with both boxing and muay thai pros in order to get their seal of approval.
A strong velcro closure allows for a quick set up, but it's sturdy enough to keep everything in place also after hours of sparring.
Half Sumo style Irezumi inspired graphics are printed on the whole length of the gloves, check out the photos below for the many levels of intricate unique design.
NOTE: Gloves are 14oz standard Muay Thai gloves, when new they'll fit a bit snug, but they'll quickly break in and from fit after a few uses.
VERY IMPORTANT: Please note due to the nature of all contact sports, gloves may not provide 100% protection from injury even during proper use. Please always use any striking gear with extreme caution in a proper setting and under proper professional supervision to avoid sustaining any kind of injury. We shall not be liable for any damages that may result from the proper or improper use of this gear.

OUR DESIGN PROCESS
The Half Sumo design process begins with the simplest tool: a line on paper.
Before a dogi, rashguard, grappling short, T-shirt, hoodie, or accessory becomes part of a finished collection, it starts as hand-drawn artwork. For co-founder and designer Luigi Scarcella Perino, drawing has always been a natural form of expression. Half Sumo Collective grew from that instinct, shaped by childhood afternoons spent reading manga, years of martial arts training, and a visual world built from Japanese woodblock prints, ukiyo-e, irezumi-inspired tattoo art, graffiti, street art, and combat sports culture.
