Choosing Fairtex Gear
Boxing Gloves
Start with how you will use them, then compare material, fit and cuff.
BGV1: Fairtex's best-selling all-round training glove. Genuine leather, a contoured tight-fit hand compartment and three-layer foam. Fairtex says it suits beginners and experienced fighters.
BGV14: the microfiber option, with a longer cuff. Fairtex lists pad work, bag work, general training and sparring as its uses.
BGV21 Legacy: a modified BGV1 in matte brown leather with the original 1971 Fairtex logo. Choose it for the finish and heritage look.
BGV9 Mexican Style: a longer Mexican-style cuff and double-layered foam. Fairtex describes it as made for heavy punchers.
Fairtex says leather gloves need conditioning and proper drying, and describes microfiber as easier to look after.
Glove Weight
Ounces (oz) are the glove's weight class, not how big your hand is. Your training purpose and your gym's rules matter most, especially for sparring, so ask your coach before ordering. Fairtex's size guide is here.
MMA and Grappling Gloves
FGV12: open-palm design with an open-thumb loop, in genuine leather.
FGV18: microfiber with thick knuckle padding and a tight fit.
Shorts
Fairtex sizes shorts by waist measurement, so check its size guide and measure where you actually wear them. Two examples to compare: BS1954 Matrix, a black pair with colour splashes, and BS1904 Fade, a faded maroon. Fairtex describes both as slim fit micro satin shorts, roomier than its kickboxing shorts. Browse the collection for the other designs.
Kick Pads
Our three Fairtex curved kick pads differ in size and weight:
KPLC2: the standard curved pad, genuine leather with multi-layer foam and adjustable straps.
KPLC3: described by Fairtex as the heaviest, most cushioned pad in its curved range, aimed at bigger or heavier strikers.
KPLC4: a longer striking surface for taller athletes and trainers, in a heavier build.
Shin Guards and Headguard
SP3 shin guards: contoured, with an extended in-step and elastic straps.
SP7 shin guards: a detachable in-step you can reposition, with extra side padding.
HG13+F headguard: full cover in genuine leather, with a diagonal-view shape.
Mitts and Belly Pad
FMV9 mitts have a contoured hand compartment.
FMV13 mitts are lightweight microfiber with a larger training area.
The BPV1 belly pad is leather and heavier by design, according to Fairtex.
