FAQs

What makes the BGVL6 different from other Twins Special models?
The BGVL6 features extended long cuffs and enhanced padding in both the knuckle and wrist areas. This makes them ideal for fighters who prioritise maximum protection, especially when blocking kicks in Muay Thai.

Are these suitable for beginners?
Yes, the excellent wrist support and comprehensive protection make them ideal for new fighters learning proper technique. The 12 oz or 14 oz sizes work best for most beginners.

How stiff are these gloves when new?
Twins Special gloves have firmer padding out of the box compared to some brands. Expect 3–4 training sessions for optimal break-in, after which they conform beautifully to your hands while maintaining protective qualities.

Do the extended cuffs restrict wrist movement?
No—the extended cuffs provide protection without limiting mobility. They're specifically designed to support natural wrist movement while offering superior coverage for blocking and defending.
