Superare S40 vs S50 Boxing Gloves: Fit, Weight, Sizing and Price Compared (EU)

The Superare S40 and S50 are both handcrafted in Italy from full-grain Italian cowhide, but they are built around two different hand geometries. The S40 uses a compact fit that follows the natural curve of the fist — it is the technical boxer's glove, designed for precision, speed, and clean feedback on impact. The S50 uses a wide-fit interior that accommodates hand wraps and larger hand sizes, with a larger profile and softer multi-layer foam tuned for endurance and protection in long sessions. If you have standard or narrower hands and prioritise punch mechanics, the S40 is the correct choice. If you train with thick wraps, have broader hands, or want more cushioning for heavy sparring, the S50 is the correct choice.

Which Should You Choose?

Choose the S40 if you have compact or standard-width hands, train without thick wraps, and want a glove that gives precise feedback on impact. The firmer, streamlined shell reduces adjustment between punches and lowers hand fatigue over a full session. It is the correct choice for technical boxing, mitt work, and combination drilling.

Choose the S50 if you have wider hands, train with hand wraps, or want more cushioning for extended sparring and heavy bag rounds. The wide-fit interior and softer multi-layer foam absorb impact across longer sessions without compressing your hand. It is the correct choice for fighters who prioritise protection and endurance over a compact feel. Browse all S50 colourways →

Both gloves carry a €20 price difference (S40: €249 / S50: €269), are made in Italy from the same full-grain Italian cowhide, and carry the same 2-year warranty from Paragon Elite Fight Group as official EU distributor. The decision is entirely about fit geometry and foam tuning — not quality.

Are Ronin BJJ gis IBJJF legal for competition?

Yes, Ronin Brazilian Jiu Jitsu gis are IBJJF legal and competition ready. They are made from durable pearl weave cotton, around 400 to 450 GSM depending on the model, which meets IBJJF requirements for both training and tournaments. You can wear a Ronin gi straight onto the mat at an IBJJF event with no modification needed.

Where are Superare boxing gloves made, and what are they made of?

Superare boxing gloves are handcrafted in Italy from full grain Italian leather, the strongest and most durable layer of the hide. Each pair uses a multi density Italian foam system for impact protection, with a reinforced cuff for wrist support. Paragon Elite Fight Group is the official EU source for Superare, delivered with duties included.

How do I choose the right size?

For boxing gloves, pick your weight by purpose, lighter gloves for speed and bag work and heavier gloves such as 14 to 16 oz for sparring. For Ronin gis, use our size guide to match your height and weight to the right A size, such as A1, A2 or A3. If you are between sizes or unsure, message us through the contact form and we will help you choose exactly.
