In Our Range

The Fairtex BGV1 stands as a benchmark for all-around training gloves. Compared to the more budget-friendly Kanong options, the BGV1 offers superior leather quality and advanced foam protection. While the OG Fightwear Supermax gloves are also a strong contender, the BGV1 is renowned for its unique tight-fit and contoured hand compartment.

Questions

What is the best way to clean and care for these gloves?

Wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth after each use. Allow the gloves to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight or heat. You can use glove deodorizers or cedar inserts to help absorb moisture and prevent odor inside.

What size gloves should I choose?

Glove size (oz) typically correlates with body weight and intended use. Lighter gloves (8-10oz) are often for pad work or competition for lighter fighters. 12-14oz are common for general training and bag work, while 16oz is standard for sparring and heavier fighters. Consult a sizing chart or your coach for personalized advice.

Are these gloves suitable for sparring?

While the BGV1 offers good protection, 16oz is generally the minimum recommended size for sparring to protect both you and your partner. Always check with your gym or coach for their specific sparring glove requirements.

Are these gloves genuine Fairtex?

Yes, all Fairtex products sold on MuayThunder.com are authentic, sourced directly from the manufacturer in Thailand.

What is the difference between the BGV1 and other Fairtex models?

The BGV1 is Fairtex's foundational 'universal tight-fit' glove, known for its ergonomic design and all-around performance. Other models may feature different padding, fit profiles (e.g., larger hand compartments), or specialized designs for specific training needs.
