Muay Thai Gloves

Muay Thai gloves are a key component of any training bag. Their cuff length, shape and outer hand protective bar typically distinguish them from boxing gloves. Ideally, you will have several pairs for different types of training. For example, 10oz or 12oz for hitting bags & pads and 14oz or 16oz for sparring.

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.
