Bag Mitts

Bag Mitts for Boxing Bag Work

Lightweight bag mitts and open-thumb mitts from Morgan and Onyx

Bag mitts are lighter, less padded alternatives to full boxing gloves. They protect the knuckles for technical bag work, speed drills and fitness circuits while giving you more feel for the target, and they're quicker to pull on and off between stations.

Because they carry much less padding than a boxing glove, bag mitts suit light to moderate bag work rather than hard heavy-bag rounds or sparring. For those, step up to 12oz to 16oz boxing gloves. Always wear hand wraps underneath.

How to Choose Bag Mitts

• Padding: more padding over the knuckles means more protection on heavier bags; thinner mitts give more feel and speed.
• Thumb: open-thumb mitts let you grip equipment between stations in circuit classes; closed-thumb mitts protect the thumb better on the bag.
• Wrist support: mitts give far less wrist support than a boxing glove, so wrap your hands and keep punches controlled.
• Fit: mitts should be snug over hand wraps without pinching the fingers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between bag mitts and boxing gloves?
Bag mitts have much less padding and wrist support. They're lighter and give more feel on the bag, while boxing gloves protect better for hard bag rounds and are required for sparring.

Can I spar in bag mitts?
No. Bag mitts don't have enough padding to protect a training partner. Use 16oz boxing gloves, or MMA sparring gloves for MMA.

Do I need hand wraps with bag mitts?
Yes. Wraps support the knuckles and wrist, which matters even more with mitts because they offer less support than a glove.

Are bag mitts good for boxing fitness classes?
Yes. They're light, quick to swap between stations and easy to wear for high-volume, lighter punching.
