FAQs

What's the difference between Mexican-style and Muay Thai gloves?
Mexican-style gloves like the BGL7 feature longer wrist coverage, more compact padding distribution, and design focused on boxing punches. They're built specifically for international boxing competition rather than Muay Thai's clinch work and elbow strikes.

Are these suitable for Muay Thai?
These gloves are specifically designed for international boxing competition, not Muay Thai or sparring. For Muay Thai, consider Fairtex's BGV series which are designed for that sport's unique demands.

Why choose lace-up over velcro for competition?
Lace-up gloves provide superior wrist support and a completely customised fit that stays locked throughout the fight. Most professional boxing competitions require lace-up gloves.

How does the water-repellent lining work?
The nylon lining prevents sweat from soaking into the padding, which keeps the gloves hygienic, prevents odour, and significantly extends their lifespan.
