Rival
4.6
(7)
"If you’re already looking into Rivals. I strongly suggest RS100’s they are cheaper then the Guerreros and don’t need breaking in like the Guerreros do."
"Rival Guerrero HDE-F are super protective. I prefer them for everything in the gym."
"I loved my RS11Vs."
"Rival RS11V."

Fairtex
3.8
(8)
"For premium gloves, My go to is Fairtex."
"Fairtex bgv1 or or fairtex bgv19 in 16oz for all round muaythai kickboxing gloves."
"Fairtex are really good. Trained for over 20 years and they are my go to."
"Oh, id recommend the BGV9 fairtex in 16s or maybe 14s if you have small hands or if your not a huge guy, if you want something a little better then rovals RFX Guerrero but the fairtex are around 100$ so they are very easy to find"
"Fairtex is a good starter brand."
"I’d recommend Fairfax Bgv1 gloves for a classic Thai style padding or a BGV9 longer cuff for the wristband extra padding on knuckles."
"The lining is also not comfortable, doesn’t feel like my hand is being hugged or padded, and the hand compartment on Fairtex gloves is horrible."
"Fairtex sucks"
#6
Showa
4.3
(7)
"Showa Fuckin Temres 282-02. Get a pair in your size, and another pair that's 1-2 sizes bigger, so you can layer more liners."
"The Showa temres 282-02 is honestly the best piece of gear I've bought in the last several seasons. Amazingly versatile and for the price you absolutely can't go wrong."
"Big pack of atlas showa gloves are my favorite."
"Showa Atlas 370. I’ve tried A LOT"
