FAQs

What makes Thaismai gloves special?
Thaismai has been handcrafting gloves in Thailand since 1960, making them one of the oldest authentic Muay Thai equipment manufacturers. Their focus is on traditional construction methods and reliable performance at accessible prices.

Why choose lace-up gloves over velcro?
Lace-up gloves provide a custom, locked-in fit that cannot loosen during use. They're preferred by many pros for competition and serious training. The trade-off is convenience—you need someone to lace you in, and they take several minutes to put on.

Can I use these for competition?
These gloves are suitable for training and sparring. For official competition use, verify specific requirements with your federation, as competition regulations can vary by organisation and weight class.

How tight should lace-up gloves be?
They should be snug enough that your hand cannot shift inside the glove during punching, but not so tight that circulation is restricted. Proper lacing is crucial for both comfort and safety.
