FAQ

Why choose the Fairtex BGV1 model?

The BGV1 is an iconic glove in the world of muay thai. It offers the perfect mix of comfort, durability, and precise fit. It stays secure on the hand, has excellent padding, and works great for bag work and sparring. Plus, it’s handmade in Thailand – the birthplace of striking arts.

How do I choose the right size?

Select your size based on your body weight. For example, 10 oz is suitable for around 50–60 kg, 12 oz for 60–75 kg, and 16 oz for over 86 kg. For sparring, it’s better to go with a larger size for extra protection.

Is this glove suitable for beginners?

Yes. The BGV1 is an excellent choice for first-time buyers. It’s comfortable, easy to wear, and versatile enough for all kinds of training – from boxing to MMA.

Is it suitable for women or younger athletes?

Absolutely. Thanks to the tight fit design, it also works well for smaller hands. Women often choose 10 oz or 12 oz. For younger athletes, base your choice on weight or reach out to our support team for advice.

How do I take care of the gloves?

After each training session, open the gloves and allow them to dry completely. Avoid direct heat. We recommend using inner gloves or hand wraps to prolong the life of the leather and reduce odor.

What’s the difference between BGV1 and other Fairtex models?

BGV1 is a versatile glove with a more technical, snug fit. While some Fairtex models are designed for specific uses (e.g., sparring only), the BGV1 performs well across multiple training types.
