Fairtex Muay Thai Boxing Gloves BGV9 - Heavy Bat Mexican Style - Small Change Training Sparring Gloves for Kickboxing MMA K1

This is an update to an earlier 4 star review of this product. As you can see I've changed it to 5 stars and I'll explain why.I've now had my BGV9s for over a year and they are virtually as new. I've been using them twice a week during this time, both for technical drills and bagwork. I'm by now means a big lad, but I'm of average height and build with a intermediate level of skill so I would say I can whack a bit. There's no reason to believe they won't last me another year by the look of them.Apart from durabilty and longevity, the functionality is superb. They're way too big for me (I should have gone for 12oz in retrospect), but the wrist support is brilliant, they've all but cured me of wrist problems I used to have owing to lesser gloves. The padding is hard as hell at first, but once they break in a bit they strike just the right balance between shock absorbtion and pop on the bag for me.You won't find a better bag glove for the price in my opinion.

Fairtex from Thailand is the best manufacturer for kickboxers, especially Muay Thai practitioners. The gloves are comfortable, and protect your hands really well. You can easily get used to them. The leather is good quality, the stitching is good, and the craftsmanship is impeccable. It also looks really good. 10/10.

Comfort and quality. And Long lasting…

Obviously more expensive than others but it gives more movement and protection -you paying for quality-thats what you get -son loves them

Good delivery time. High quality albeit quite stiff gloves initially. Been training in them for about a month and my hand still stings after hard punches so these do take a while to break in. Very solid with excellent wrist support though.Ideal for Muay Thai but some boxers / K1 kickboxers may lament the lack of a grip bar.

Love them, i'm a skinnier build and these really feel like they hug my hands well

Both my sons are learning muay thai and bought these a few months ago. Just the job.

Previously used Twins, but started getting a sharp pain when pulling them on. I think the shape of the glove was dragging a tendon over a knuckle. These fit my hand better, and since buying them the pain has completely gone
