Windy is one of the longstanding names associated with Thai combat sports equipment, producing gloves and training gear for Muay Thai and boxing.
Windy boxing gloves follow a traditional training-focused approach, with options suitable for everything from pads and heavy bag work to regular sparring.
If you're looking for Thai-style gloves without overcomplicating things, Windy is well worth considering alongside brands such as Twins Special, Fairtex and Top King.
Why Choose Windy Boxing Gloves?
The right gloves depend on how you train, but protection, fit and wrist support should always come before the logo on the back of your hand.
Windy gloves are suitable for:
- Muay Thai
- Boxing
- Pad work
- Heavy bag training
- Partner drills
- Sparring with an appropriate glove weight
Choose your model and weight based on what you'll actually use the gloves for.
What Size Windy Gloves Should You Buy?
Glove weight is primarily determined by your training.
As a general guide:
10oz to 12oz: Common choices for pads and bag work
14oz: General training and lighter sparring where permitted
16oz: Commonly used for adult sparring
These aren't universal rules.
If you're buying Windy gloves specifically for sparring, check with your coach first. Your gym may have its own requirements based on your weight and experience.
Windy Gloves for Muay Thai
Muay Thai gloves need to handle more than straightforward boxing rounds.
Your training can move between pads, bag work, partner drills and sparring, so an all-round training glove is often the best starting point.
Windy produces gloves suited to this type of everyday Thai boxing training.

Windy Gloves for Sparring
For regular sparring, we'd prioritise padding and protection.
Many gyms require 16oz gloves for adult sparring, although this varies between gyms and fighters.
If you're training frequently, we'd also recommend eventually keeping your sparring gloves separate from your heavy bag gloves. Repeated bag work gradually compresses padding, which isn't ideal when you're then hitting a training partner with the same pair.
Windy vs Other Thai Boxing Gloves
Windy isn't your only option.
We also stock gloves from several established Thai combat sports brands, each with slightly different fits, padding and designs.
