Leather boxing gloves are one of the best choices for gloves for use by boxers or for other martial arts. Though many other materials can be used for boxing, martial arts, and just bag workouts such as vinyl, this material has the tendency to fall apart a lot quicker than leather materials. This is a major drawback not only in terms of a financial investment, but also a personal investment. Boxers and other fighters work better when they are familiar and comfortable with their gloves, so it's a good idea to select a glove that will last for a long period time rather than one that saves you a couple of bucks in the short term.
Leather does have a small drawback in that it takes a little bit of time to break these gloves in. Nonetheless, leather breaks in well as it begins to transform to the shape of the hand. This leads to a more natural feel for the gloves that begins to fit better with continued use.
Leather also has the benefit of working well with moisture. As is easy to imaging, gloves can get very sweaty over time as both a person's hands sweat in the gloves, and if you are sparring or boxing, someone else's sweat gets on them from the outside. Leather can endure this moisture without falling apart, which is a further benefit to choosing this type of glove over another material.
Everlast is perhaps the most highly regarded brand and with good reason as they are often seen on professionals hands in major events.
