FAQs

What's the difference between the Arwut BG1 and BG5?

The BG5 "The Ascent" is Arwut's premium line. It uses higher-grade leather, denser multi-layer foam, improved ergonomics, and reinforced wrist support. If the BG1 is their reliable workhorse, the BG5 is the upgrade for fighters who want more from their gloves.

Who is Arwut?

Arwut is a Thai-based brand producing quality handmade leather fight gear. They've built a growing reputation internationally for offering genuine Thai craftsmanship at prices that undercut the bigger names — without cutting corners on materials.

Will the white leather mark easily? W

hite leather can show scuffs and colour transfer more readily. Wipe them down with a damp cloth after each session and store them away from coloured surfaces to keep them looking fresh.

Can I spar in these?

Yes. In 14 oz or 16 oz the high-density padding provides solid protection for both you and your sparring partner. The reinforced wrist support also adds stability during exchanges.
