Fairtex is a name that means something in Muay Thai. The BGV1 is one of the most recognizable gloves in the sport, worn in gyms across Thailand and around the world. The Fairtex collection at Knockiva brings this trusted glove to fighters who train Muay Thai, boxing, and kickboxing, and want gear with a real pedigree.

The Fairtex Reputation

Fairtex has spent decades at the heart of Muay Thai, and its gloves have become a standard in gyms both in Thailand and internationally. The brand's reputation is built on consistent, handmade quality and a design that suits the varied demands of Muay Thai training. When you choose Fairtex, you are choosing a glove trusted by practitioners of one of the most demanding striking arts in the world.

The Fairtex BGV1

This collection features the BGV1 Muay Thai Boxing Gloves in Solid Blue, Red, White, and Black. Each pair is handmade in Thailand using genuine leather and a three-layer foam system that absorbs impact evenly across the glove. That even distribution is part of why the BGV1 feels balanced during both striking and clinch work, and why it has stayed a staple for so long. See how it compares in our Boxing Gloves collection.

Built for All-Purpose Training

One of the BGV1's biggest strengths is versatility. The design suits all-purpose training, including bag work, pad work, and light sparring, which is why it appears in both beginner and advanced programs. Rather than being a specialist glove, the BGV1 handles the full range of a typical Muay Thai session well, making it a reliable single pair for fighters who do a bit of everything in training.

Why Fighters Choose Fairtex

Fairtex earns loyalty through consistency. The handmade construction, genuine leather, and proven foam system add up to a glove that performs the same way session after session. For Muay Thai fighters in particular, that dependability matters, since the glove has to handle striking, clinch work, and pad rounds without feeling out of place in any of them. The BGV1 does exactly that, which is why it remains a long-term choice for so many.

Choosing and Caring for Your BGV1

Match your glove weight to your training, with lighter gloves suiting bag and pad work and heavier gloves adding padding for sparring. Always wear hand wraps underneath for protection and to keep the inner lining fresh. To make a genuine leather glove last, air it out after sessions, wipe it down, and store it somewhere dry so the leather and foam keep their shape over time.
