Fairtex offers gloves in a range of different models. A wide selection of designs and features:

BGV1 - Fairtex's classic model. The Fairtex BGV1 Gloves are great for all aspects of training, from pads, bagwork to sparring. They are ergonomically engineered with a unique contoured and tight-fit hand compartment for a secure and comfortable fit.

BGV14 - Fairtex's Microfiber gloves are designed with a long cuff. Microfiber is durable, odouless as well as giving the gloves a soft and smooth finish. A non-leather and vegan-friendly material.

BGV9 - Mexican-styled gloves designed for heavy punchers using double layers of high-density latex foam padding. Built with high-quality Thai leather and nylon water-repellent lining to stop sweat from entering the padding.

• BGV6 - Angular sparring gloves with a triple-layered foam system around the knuckles for maximum shock absorption. The BGV6 model has an ergonomically contoured hand compartment for optimal first closure which minimizes wrist muscle tensions.

• BGL6 & BGL7 - Fairtex's very popular lace-up model. The padding system is evenly distributed from the cuff to the head of the gloves for maximum control and performance.

Muay Thai Gloves Sizing

We have a lot of glove sizes available, starting at 4oz then going all the way up to 20oz.

  • 4oz - 6oz: Junior sizes
  • 8oz - 12oz: Both juniors and adult sizes
  • 12oz - 20oz: Usually reserved just for adults

Which size do you need?

Gyms typically have their own policy on what size gloves they want you to wear for drills and sparring, a safe bet is to ask your coach first before purchasing.

A simple guideline for you to follow:

  • 8oz/10oz: Glove sizes for amateur & professional competitions
  • 8oz, 10oz & 12oz: Bag/pad work
  • 14oz: Light sparring
  • 16oz and above: Light and heavy sparring

For a lot of gyms, 16oz for sparring is a must but confirm with your coach if 14oz is permitted for light sparring.

There is also nothing wrong with getting one pair of 14oz (check with your trainer) or 16oz gloves that you can use for everything. We actually advise this if you are a beginner and don't want to spend too much money on your first purchase of equipment.

If you then feel like you'd prefer a lighter pair of gloves or you see another design that you like, you can then get a second pair that is 10oz/12oz just for pad/bagwork.
