The Twins Special Kabuki boxing gloves feature a striking Japanese-inspired Kabuki mask design printed over the classic BGVL-3 platform. Made from 100% genuine cowskin leather with premium multi-layer foam padding, these gloves deliver reliable hand and wrist protection for training and sparring alike. A Velcro strap and attached thumb provide a secure, comfortable fit straight out of the box. Handcrafted in Thailand, the Kabuki brings Twins Special's legendary build quality together with one of their boldest graphic designs.

Why You'll Love Them

  • Proven Platform: Built on the iconic Twins BGVL-3 shape — one of the most widely used and trusted glove designs in Muay Thai worldwide.
  • 100% Cowskin Leather: Genuine cowhide outer shell built for durability, standing up to heavy daily use and ageing beautifully over time.
  • Multi-Layer Foam Padding: High-quality layered foam absorbs impact effectively, protecting your hands and your training partners every session.
  • Secure Velcro Closure: Wide hook-and-loop wrist strap delivers a quick, secure fit with solid wrist support and easy on-and-off convenience.
  • Attached Thumb Design: Keeps the thumb tucked safely against the glove body to prevent sprains and hyperextension injuries.
  • Kabuki Mask Artwork: A bold, Japanese theatre-inspired graphic across the back of the hand — one of Twins' most visually distinctive designs.
