What sets Caged equipment apart

Caged offers a wide range of combat sports equipment for boxing, kickboxing and Muay Thai. The product range extends from boxing gloves to shin guards and Muay Thai shorts through to hand wraps and skipping ropes. Production takes place on a small scale in Thailand, Italy and the Netherlands, with strict quality control at every stage. The range is aimed at advanced athletes and competitors who value durability and performance.

Product types and areas of use

The Caged boxing gloves are available in the classic weights 10 oz, 12 oz, 14 oz and 16 oz. Lighter weights (10-12 oz) are suitable for competitions and fast sparring, whilst 14 oz and 16 oz offer more protection during intensive training. The shin guards come in sizes S (35-39), M (40-43) and L (44-49), measured by shin length. Muay Thai shorts are available in S to XXL and offer maximum freedom of movement for kicks thanks to the wide leg opening. Hand wraps come in lengths of 250 cm, 350 cm and 450 cm – longer wraps provide more stability for wrist and knuckles.

Size selection for Caged products

For boxing gloves, the choice depends on body weight and intended use. For athletes under 70 kg, 12 oz or 14 oz are ideal, whilst heavier athletes should opt for 14 oz or 16 oz. For competitions, specific weight classes with prescribed ounce weights often apply. You choose shin guards according to the length of your shin: measure from the ankle to just below the knee and compare with the size information. Muay Thai shorts generally fit true to size; if you're unsure between two sizes, the larger one is recommended for more comfort.

Frequently asked questions

Which Caged equipment is the best choice?

For serious training and competition, the Caged Shadow Boxing Gloves or the 'X' Series are the best choice, both from €64.95 in weights from 10 oz to 16 oz. For shin guards, both the Shadow and 'X' Series models from €69.95 offer optimal protection and fit. The Premium Skipping Rope from €7.95 is the best-selling product and is suitable for all levels. Choose the size according to your body weight and intended use.

What size Caged boxing gloves for training?

For regular training, 14 oz or 16 oz are recommended, as they provide more padding and protection for you and your training partner. Athletes under 70 kg can work with 12 oz or 14 oz, whilst heavier athletes should opt for 14 oz or 16 oz. Lighter weights such as 10 oz or 12 oz are mainly intended for competitions, where speed is more important than maximum protection. Sales data shows that 16 oz and 14 oz are the most popular training weights.

How do I care for my Caged equipment properly?

Allow boxing gloves and shin guards to air-dry after every training session, ideally with the Velcro fastener open. Use antibacterial sprays if needed to prevent odour formation. You should wash hand wraps after each use – the Caged Essential wraps conveniently come with a wash bag. You can machine-wash Muay Thai shorts at a low temperature. Avoid direct sunlight and extreme heat, as these can damage the materials.
