the project

Strengthened by its unparalleled experience, LEONE is proud to offer this exclusive glove, the result of careful technical study and countless tests, to offer boxers the best possible product in terms of quality of materials, comfort and hand protection.

Designed exclusively for professional matches, the PUNCHER is made of an external, elastic and durable buffalo leather coating, while inside the horsehair alternates with two layers of polyurethane foam and sponge. This particular "multi-layer" structure of the padding has the purpose of absorbing the vibrations of each stroke to the maximum, thus safeguarding the athlete's hand, without however compromising the "hardness" and therefore the effectiveness of his techniques.

Precisely because they are made exclusively for meetings, PUNCHER gloves are currently available only in the 8 and 10 oz version. with laces closure.

THE BENEFITS OF HORSEHAIR PADDING

Horsehair gloves have always been preferred by the greatest champions all over the world because they allow you to hit with maximum effectiveness, allowing the athlete to fully discharge the power of his shots. Because of their technical peculiarity, they are gloves designed for professionals, who know how to hit but who also know how to defend themselves and are perfectly trained to fight in the best psycho-physical conditions.

By "horsehair padding" we mean a padding created from horsehair obtained from the horse's tail and mane. The particular processing inside the glove makes it very elastic and resilient over time, while ensuring a significant air exchange. Horsehair is also hygroscopic, i.e. it is able to absorb the natural perspiration of the hand without becoming wet.

Another feature that has always been appreciated is its durability and robustness. Finally, let's not forget that, together with the other layers inserted in the padding of the glove, it contributes decisively to creating an optimal fit by adapting perfectly with its filaments to the athlete's hand.
