Shop our range of authentic Fairtex Muay Thai shorts, designed in Thailand for training and fighting.
Choose from traditional, retro and modern Fairtex shorts in a wide range of colours and designs, with the freedom of movement needed for kicks, knees and everyday Muay Thai training.
Fairtex has been producing combat sports equipment in Thailand for decades, and its range goes well beyond boxing gloves and shin guards.
Fairtex Muay Thai shorts are designed specifically for Thai boxing, with cuts that provide plenty of room through the hips and legs for kicking, kneeing and general training.
The range includes everything from traditional Thai-inspired designs to more modern Fairtex styles, giving you plenty of choice without compromising on how the shorts perform in the gym.
Muay Thai shorts don't need to be complicated.
They should stay securely around your waist and give you enough freedom to move without material restricting your kicks.
Fairtex shorts are suitable for:
Once you've got the fit right, the design mostly comes down to personal preference.
Muay Thai shorts are intentionally different from standard gym shorts.
They generally have shorter, wider legs to provide more freedom around the hips and thighs when throwing kicks and knees.
Your shorts should sit securely around your waist without feeling restrictive.
You should be able to kick comfortably without the material pulling against your legs or limiting your movement.
Don't automatically order the same size you wear in everyday clothing.
Thai combat sports sizing can differ from standard UK sizing, and different Fairtex short designs may also have slightly different measurements.
Check the size information on the individual product before ordering and pay particular attention to the waistband measurements.
If you're between sizes, consider how tightly you prefer your shorts to fit rather than relying purely on the letter on the label.
The same pair of Fairtex shorts can generally be used across pads, bag work, sparring and fighting.
There's no need for separate training and competition shorts unless you simply want them.
If you're competing, check your promotion's rules first in case there are requirements around colours, logos or equipment.
For normal gym training, concentrate on fit and freedom of movement.
