Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Fairtex boxing gloves unique?
Fairtex gloves are known for their signature three-layer foam system, which provides excellent shock absorption and protection for the knuckles. They also feature an ergonomic, contoured design that enhances grip and control during training.
How do I choose the right Fairtex glove size?
Glove sizes are measured in ounces. Choose based on your body weight and the type of training:
8–10oz for competition
12oz for pad work or smaller hands
14oz for general training
16oz for sparring
18–20oz for heavy sparring or larger users
What’s the difference between genuine leather and microfiber gloves?
Genuine leather gloves are highly durable, offer a natural feel, and age well over time. Microfiber gloves are lighter, more resistant to moisture and odour, and generally easier to maintain, while still providing reliable performance.
How should I clean and maintain Fairtex gloves?
After each training session, wipe the gloves inside and out with a damp cloth, then air-dry in a cool, well-ventilated area. Avoid direct heat or sunlight. Use glove deodorizer balls to reduce odours and regularly check seams for wear.
Which Fairtex glove model is best for sparring?
For sparring, choose Fairtex models designed with softer, impact-dispersing foam. Popular options include the BGV1, BGV9, and BGV18 series—each tailored to protect both you and your training partner.
Why is Fairtex so popular?
Fairtex is popular for its unmatched quality, durability, and authentic Thai craftsmanship. Fighters around the world trust Fairtex for gear that performs under pressure, whether in sparring, pad work, or competition. The brand's roots in Thailand and long-standing reputation in Muay Thai and combat sports make it a go-to choice for athletes at all levels.
Do any boxers use Fairtex?
Yes, many boxers use Fairtex gloves and gear, especially those who train in Muay Thai, kickboxing, or mixed martial arts. While Fairtex is not a traditional Western boxing brand, its gloves are widely respected for their protection, wrist support, and overall build quality. They're frequently used by strikers who cross-train in boxing as part of their overall fight prep.
Where is Fairtex made?
Fairtex products are made in Thailand. The brand operates its own factory to maintain strict quality control and uphold traditional manufacturing techniques. Every item is crafted with precision using high-grade materials, especially Fairtex’s famous premium leather and multi-layer foam systems.
Who owns Fairtex gloves?
Fairtex gloves are owned and produced by Fairtex Equipment Company Ltd., a family-run business based in Thailand. The company was founded by Mr. Philip Wong and continues to be operated by the Wong family, maintaining a strong legacy in the world of combat sports equipment.
Is Primo better than Fairtex?
Primo and Fairtex cater to slightly different preferences. Fairtex is a heritage Muay Thai brand known globally for performance and durability. Primo, while newer, focuses on stylish design with a modern fit. Some athletes prefer the sleek look and tailored cut of Primo shorts, while others trust the proven performance of Fairtex. It comes down to personal style and training needs.
