Genuine Thai Construction
Same premium Thai leather as BGV1, proven to last 3+ years. The construction quality that made Fairtex famous, in a more precise fit.
Contoured Hand Fit
Slimmer hand chamber and shorter cuff - no wasted space, no slipping. Built for fighters who want total control. 15% more compact than BGV1 — ideal for fighters under 5'8" or those with smaller hands. If you wear size S/M shirts, these likely fit better than BGV1.
Multi-Layer Padding System
Same protective density as larger gloves, in a compact design. Perfect for technical combinations and faster hand speed without sacrificing safety.
Secure Velcro Closure
Strong wrist wrap and integrated grip bar for a confident fist, every round. Easy to adjust, stays tight throughout training. Shorter cuff design (3.5" vs BGV1's 4") allows greater wrist flexibility for boxing-heavy training.

I wasn’t sure if I needed 14oz or 16oz. Ended up going with 16 and it was the right call. Great for both sparring and bag work. The fit feels secure even with wraps on.
