The Good
- Constructed from genuine leather for superior durability and a broken-in feel over time.
- Enhanced padding in high-impact zones provides comprehensive hand and wrist protection.
- Breathable interior lining helps manage moisture and maintain comfort during extended sessions.
- Adjustable wrist strap ensures a secure and stable fit for various hand sizes.
- Includes a free glove bag, adding value and convenience for transport and storage.
Worth Knowing
- Genuine leather requires more care and conditioning than synthetic alternatives to maintain longevity.
- The adjustable strap, while secure, may not offer the same precise, locked-in feel as a lace-up design.
- Premium materials and construction place these at a higher price point than entry-level options.
- While suitable for all skill levels, the advanced protection might be overkill for very light, infrequent training.

In Our Range
The Buakaw Number 1 gloves sit at the higher end of our range, offering genuine leather and enhanced protection, similar to the Arwut The Ascent and OG Lace Up gloves in material quality and price point. They represent a significant step up in durability and protection compared to the more budget-friendly Kanong or OG Fightwear Supermax options, but are less specialized than the MTM Sport Pro X1 Velcro gloves.
Questions
What size glove should I choose?
8-10 oz is typically for bag/pad work or competition for lighter fighters. 12-14 oz is a versatile choice for general training, pads, and light sparring. 16 oz is standard for sparring and provides maximum protection and conditioning.
How do I care for genuine leather gloves?
After each use, wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth and allow them to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight or heat. Avoid storing them in a sealed bag when damp. Occasionally, a leather conditioner can be applied to maintain suppleness.
Are these gloves suitable for both Muay Thai and Western Boxing?
Yes, these gloves are designed with a versatile profile suitable for both Muay Thai and Western Boxing. The enhanced padding provides ample protection for striking in both disciplines.
What does 'Made in Thailand' signify for these gloves?
Being 'Made in Thailand' indicates these gloves are produced in the traditional home of Muay Thai, often reflecting authentic craftsmanship, durable construction, and a design philosophy proven in the sport.
Is the included glove bag breathable?
While convenient for transport, it's best practice to allow your gloves to fully air dry outside the bag after training before storing them to prevent odor and mildew buildup.
