🥊 Which jacket for which season
The first sort is not the brand but the lining. An unlined boxing jacket blocks wind and nothing else; a lined jacket adds a layer of air; a padded jacket holds in the heat the body produces. Those are three different garments, often confused.
| What you are after | The model | Why |
|---|---|---|
| A spring and autumn jacket | Lonsdale zip blouson | Light unlined shell, stand collar, 6 colours |
| The warmth of a hoodie with a zip | Lonsdale fleece jacket | Cotton fleece, brushed inside, fitted cut |
| Holding off wind and light rain | Lined Lonsdale windbreaker | Drawcord hood, quilted lining, 3 zip pockets |
| A pattern rather than a solid | Lonsdale camouflage jacket | Four camouflages, black panel, large back logo |
| Arms free during the warm-up | Lonsdale gilet | Quilting, stand collar, 7 colours, zip pockets |
| The warmest jacket | Stand collar padded jacket | Wide quilting, black ribbing, up to 142 cm chest |
| A padded jacket with a hood | Hooded padded jacket | Fine quilting, lined grey marl drawcord hood |
| The widest choice of colours | Rocky Balboa windbreaker | 11 colours, gold or white back marking, S to 6XL |
| The varsity cut | Rocky Balboa teddy | White raglan sleeves, press studs, 8 colours |
| The bomber cut | UFC bomber | MA-1 cut, orange lining, zipped sleeve pocket, to 5XL |
📏 Real measurements, size by size
This is what sets this collection apart: on six product pages out of ten, we publish the manufacturer's chart rather than vague advice. Shoulders, chest, back length and sleeve length, for every size available.
The method is simple: measure your chest at the pectorals, over the layer you will wear under the jacket, and compare it to the table on the product page. That is more reliable than starting from your usual size, because ease varies enormously between models — the UFC bomber starts at 87 cm in S while the Esprit Boxe padded jacket already reads 112 cm in M.
On the four pages where the manufacturer publishes nothing, we say so in plain terms and give a usage marker instead. No measurement is invented.
One model needs reading carefully before you order. The Rocky Balboa windbreaker is labelled on a chart where two sizes separate the label from the European size. The S equals an XXS, the XL equals an M, the 6XL equals a 4XL. In other words: if you normally wear an M, order the XL. The full conversion table, published by the manufacturer, is on the product page with all four measurements for each line.
👕 What each jacket carries
Every jacket in the collection carries a marking, and several display it on the back — which is what the rest of the gym sees.
- The large LONSDALE LONDON logo on the fleece jacket, the camouflage jacket and the gilet.
- The UFC logo and the wording ULTIMATE FIGHTING CHAMPIONSHIP on the UFC bomber.
- The word ROCKY in cracked capitals on the ROCKY teddy.
- The composition BALBOA — PHILADELPHIA, PA — BOXING CLUB — 19 (USA) 47 on the Rocky Balboa windbreaker.
The two Esprit Boxe jackets carry their marking on the front, on the right chest: the pictogram of a boxer with arms raised, ESPRIT BOXE and FOR THE GLORY. Those are the padded jacket and the hooded padded jacket.
🧭 Where to start
If you are buying one jacket, start from the season. For spring and autumn, the Lonsdale zip blouson and the lined Lonsdale windbreaker. For real winter, the two Esprit Boxe padded jackets. For a garment that stands out from a distance, the ROCKY teddy and the UFC bomber.
If you need a large size, three models go high with published measurements: the Lonsdale windbreaker and the UFC bomber to 5XL, and the Balboa windbreaker to a labelled 6XL, which is a European 4XL.
🎯 The Rocky Balboa windbreaker: read the sizing first
One model deserves a careful look before you order: the Rocky Balboa windbreaker is labelled on a grid where two sizes separate the label from the European size. The S is an XXS, the XL is an M, the 6XL is a 4XL.
In practice: if you normally wear a medium, order the XL. The full conversion table published by the maker is on the product page, with all four measurements for every row.
❓ Frequently asked questions
How do I choose the size of a boxing jacket?
Measure your chest at the pectorals, over the layer you will wear underneath, and compare it to the table on the product page. Six of the ten pages publish the manufacturer's measurements size by size. Ease varies strongly between models: the UFC bomber starts at 87 cm in S while the Esprit Boxe padded jacket reads 112 cm in M.
Do Lonsdale jackets run small?
It depends on the model, which is why we publish the measurements. The fleece jacket is described by the manufacturer as a fitted cut, with a 98 cm chest in S. The Lonsdale zip blouson starts at 114 cm in M. Compare with the table rather than starting from your usual size.
Do you have boxing jackets in large sizes?
Yes. The lined Lonsdale windbreaker and the UFC bomber go up to 5XL, meaning 126 and 120 cm of chest. The Rocky Balboa windbreaker goes to a labelled 6XL, which corresponds to a European 4XL.
What is the difference between a windbreaker and a padded jacket?
The lining. A windbreaker blocks wind with no fill. A lined windbreaker adds a layer of air. A padded jacket holds in the heat the body produces, through stitched chambers that stop the fill sliding to the bottom.
Which jacket should I wear to the boxing gym?
The ones that close completely and cover the warm-up: the lined Lonsdale windbreaker for roadwork, the gilet to keep the trunk warm while leaving the arms free for skipping and shadow. boxing hoodies go underneath.
Are these genuine Lonsdale and UFC jackets?
Yes, these are distributed products of the brands concerned. Lonsdale is a London brand created in 1960 by former boxer Bernard Hart, with the permission of the seventh Earl of Lonsdale, and worn by Muhammad Ali from 1963 and by Mike Tyson in the 1980s.
