Boxing Gloves are padded sparring gloves made for the ring. In play they are bulky hand wear that gives a little warmth and some scratch cover. They come in two colours with the same stats, Red and Blue.
Their main strength is modest protection for the hands against scratches. Their main cost is clumsiness. Bulky gloves slow down moving items in the inventory, stop crafting while walking and make climbing harder. That makes them a poor pick for daily wear.
Boxing Gloves are found mostly in boxing gyms, changing room lockers and sports stores. The Tailor is the best occupation for protective gear. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
Boxing Gloves keep the hands a little warm and block some wind. They suit a cool day but not deep winter. They stop about three in ten scratches on the hands.
Leather Gloves are a far better choice for the same slot. They are much warmer, stop the same share of scratches and also stop some bites, without the bulky penalty. Fingerless Gloves give the same warmth as Boxing Gloves and stop half as many scratches, with free fingers.
Boxing Gloves take the Hands slot. They cannot be worn with other gloves, anything in the hand or arm slots, or a full suit with a hood.
Variations
Boxing Gloves comes in 2 versions with the same stats. Only the look changes.

Boxing gym display cases hold a pair about a third of the time. Changing room lockers hold them in about one of four. Sports stores carry them now and then. Closets, pawn shops, attics and survivor safehouses give a small chance.
