The Cleto Reyes gloves are among the most well-known and appreciated in the world, and if you are on this site, it means you also recognize their value.

Like all beautiful and precious things, they often attract the attention of unscrupulous companies willing to market counterfeit products.

Buying counterfeit Cleto Reyes products not only damages a historic brand that has invested heavily in making quality gloves, but it also endangers your health. Low-quality gloves can lead to injuries to the joints and muscles of the arms. Additionally, these products may contain materials hazardous to health.

To verify the authenticity of a Cleto Reyes product, you can take some precautions before and after purchasing.

Things to check before buying

Are you buying from an authorized dealer?

The first thing to check is whether you are buying from an authorized seller. On the official website www.cletoreyes.com, you can find the list of distributors authorized by Cleto Reyes. Ksport SRL, our company, is among these distributors. Distributors can in turn use retailers. If you suspect that a retailer is selling you an original product, you can contact us and ask if they are on our list of retailers.

You should also be careful with products sold online through marketplaces, as marketplaces often do not verify the authenticity of the products sold through their sales channels. While purchasing, make sure that the seller marketing the product on the marketplace is authorized by Cleto Reyes or one of its distributors.

The price

As is well known, Cleto Reyes products are made with high production standards and quality materials. This means that the prices cannot be too low. If you find an offer that is too good to be true, it is advisable to be wary, as it is likely a counterfeit product.

What to check after purchase

Here we are. You have bought your new gloves and can't wait to try them! Before doing so, you can verify their authenticity with a few small checks.

Check the quality

As soon as you open the box of a pair of Cleto Reyes gloves, the first thing you will notice is the scent of the leather. Then you can test the softness and elasticity of the lining. When trying them on, you will feel them comfortably wrap around your hand. To recognize the quality of a pair of boxing gloves, you need to have some experience. If you don't have much experience, you can ask your trainer for advice, as they have surely handled Cleto Reyes gloves before.

Serial code

Cleto Reyes gloves have a code printed on the wrist. If the code is not present, the gloves you purchased are not original.

The logo

One of the characteristics of Cleto Reyes gloves is the logo printed on the back. The logo is embossed on the glove. To the touch, it should be slightly raised and to the eye, it is shiny, as you can see in the photos on the product sheets.
Counterfeit Cleto Reyes gloves we have come across have a faded logo.

Remember that the logo on the back of original Cleto Reyes gloves may peel off over time (even after a few workouts). This is absolutely normal and does not affect their quality/integrity.

Do the gloves have small imperfections? No worries.

If you notice that the gloves have small aesthetic imperfections, it is completely normal. Each glove is handcrafted, and some small flaws are entirely normal.
