Leather vs Microfiber
The key differences between genuine leather and microfiber boxing gloves lie in the materials, durability, and maintenance:
Material
Genuine Leather: Made from animal hide (usually cowhide), known for its toughness and flexibility.
Microfiber: A synthetic material engineered to mimic leather, varying in quality but designed for performance.
Durability
Genuine Leather: Long-lasting with proper care, retains quality over time.
Microfiber: While standard microfiber is not as long-lasting as leather, Fairtex uses premium microfiber for enhanced durability to extend the life of your glove.
Maintenance
Genuine Leather: Requires conditioning and cleaning to prevent drying, cracking, and odor.
Microfiber: Easier to maintain, more moisture-resistant, and less prone to odor.
Choose based on your preferences, budget, and usage.
What size glove should I get?
Gloves are measured in ounces (oz), typically ranging from 8 oz to 20 oz. Your ideal size depends on weight, training type, and preference:
8-10 oz: Best for competition.
12 oz: Common for women and those with smaller hands.
14 oz: Suitable for general training and sparring.
16 oz: Standard for sparring and general training for most adults.
18-20 oz: Ideal for larger individuals or for extra protection during sparring.
Choose the size that matches your needs for comfort and protection.
What type of glove should I get?
Choosing the right gloves depends on your training goals. Fairtex offers gloves for various purposes:
Training Gloves: Versatile for general training, including bag and pad work.
Sparring Gloves: Softer, designed for sparring to reduce injury risk.
Bag Gloves: Built for heavy bag work, featuring denser padding for durability.
Competition Gloves: Lighter gloves used for official matches.

Glad to hear you’re loving the Fairtex BGV5 Gloves! They offer excellent protection, solid wrist support, and are durable, making them a top choice for training.
Quality is amazing, these gloves are made with highly durable leathery material. The gloves absorbs impact well and disperses it away from the knuckle line so your punches even for heavy hitters won’t hurt your knuckles. The wrist support is great and the Velcro wraps around the wrist nicely. I would like the bar to be just a tad bigger to give the finger more room to open up to catch punches better but the glove is a solid 5/5. Great for sparring!!!

Awesome Sparring and Bag gloves, the gloves conforms to your hand and gives you a solid fist and you’re able to disperse the power of your punches due to the way the gloves assist your hand while you punch. The gloves protects your hand while assisting with shock absorption so you won’t hurt your knuckles or wrist while you train or spar. I love the Syntek Leather feels like the real thing and are such an affordable price. Solid value for just under $100 !!! Fairtex is the Truth!!!
I bought this gloves in 16oz for sparing. They are very good quality, the stitching are perfect, and the construction of the glove is very good. One mention will be the thumb area that is not that long.The grip bar is also very good.I’ve had a lot of gloves from more premium brands, but this one is above a lot of them and the price is very reasonable.
The atention to details is unbelievable
If the fairtex will do something with the thumb area, this will be a perfect glove
These are my absolute favorite sparring gloves. I’ve had multiple colors based off of availability at the different times of purchase and all are of top quality. Great durable product.
