    Fairtex Gloves Made for Muay Thai and Boxing

    Fairtex has been producing combat sports equipment in Thailand for decades and its gloves are used everywhere from local Muay Thai gyms to professional training camps.

    Unlike some of the bulkier Thai-style gloves, many Fairtex boxing gloves have a relatively compact profile. This makes them a popular choice for fighters who want good protection without feeling like they have oversized gloves on their hands.

    They're suitable for Muay Thai, kickboxing and traditional boxing, with different Fairtex models available depending on how you train.

    Which Fairtex Gloves Should You Choose?

    Fairtex produces several glove styles depending on how and where you train.

    • Fairtex BGV1 Boxing Gloves: The classic all-rounder with a compact fit, suitable for pads, bag work and general Muay Thai training.
    • Fairtex BGV9 Mexican Style Gloves: A different shape to the traditional Thai-style Fairtex gloves, with a longer cuff and Mexican-inspired design. A good option for boxing-focused training.
    • Fairtex MMA Gloves: Open-finger gloves designed specifically for MMA rather than traditional boxing or Muay Thai glove training.

    Choosing Fairtex Gloves for Sparring

    For regular sparring, protection matters more than having the lightest glove possible.

    Most adult fighters will use 14oz or 16oz gloves for sparring, although your gym or coach should always have the final say. For heavier sparring, 16oz is the standard choice in many gyms.

    If you're mainly hitting pads and bags, 10oz or 12oz Fairtex gloves can give you a lighter, quicker feel.

    Fairtex or Twins?

    Both are established Thai brands, but they don't feel identical.

    Fairtex gloves generally have a more compact profile, while Twins Special gloves tend to feel more padded and substantial. Neither is automatically better. It comes down to fit, the type of training you're doing and what you prefer on your hands.
