Muay Thai Gloves

Muay Thai gloves are a key component of any gym bag. Their cuff length, shape and outer hand protective bar typically distinguish them from boxing gloves, while making them uniquely designed for the sport of Muay Thai. Ideally, you will have several pairs for different types of training. For example, 10oz or 12oz bag gloves are ideal for hitting heavy bags and Thai pads, as they are light enough for you to maximise speed, yet still include enough dense padding to withstand the heaviest of training sessions. 14oz or 16oz training/sparring gloves are recommended for sparring, as they feature more padding which helps reduce injury risk for you and your training partners.

The shape and distribution of padding differs between brands, even when they are the same weight. For example, Fairtex  gloves usually have a short cuff and very compact padding. While Primo Fightwear gloves have a longer cuff and a wider dispersion of padding (like a hybrid Muay Thai/ Boxing glove). This is important to keep in mind as you may come to prefer a particular type of glove for bag & pad work, and another for sparring.

Whichever you choose, regular cleaning and maintenance is key for longevity. Our guide on cleaning your gloves can help you keep your Muay Thai gloves fresh and durable for longer.
