Fairtex

Fairtex is a Thai combat sports equipment brand rooted in Bangkok. The Fairtex trademark was registered in Thailand in 1958 and the Fairtex garment factory was established in 1971. The brand's first Muay Thai training camp opened in 1975, and Fairtex produced its first boxing gloves in 1994. Today the company employs more than 1,000 people, runs 25 retail stores in Thailand and works with official distributors in over 50 countries. Core fight gear is made and inspected in Thailand. Sport Zona carries 569 Fairtex products: boxing gloves, Muay Thai shorts, protective gear, pads, bags and hand wraps.

About Fairtex

Fairtex covers the full training cycle across Muay Thai, boxing, MMA and grappling. The Sport Zona range includes 135 boxing glove models, 114 Muay Thai shorts, 53 pads and mitts, 49 punching bags, 35 shin guards, 32 head guards, 33 further protectors, 30 bags and backpacks, plus hand wraps, mouthguards, jump ropes and rashguards. Product development happens inside an active training environment: concept, prototype, testing through real use, then refinement before production. Materials — leather, microfibre, foam systems, fabrics, closures and reinforcements — are selected for the job each product has to do rather than from a single universal formula. Fairtex is the official glove partner of ONE Championship and the official equipment partner of the Lumpinee and Rajadamnern stadiums in Bangkok. The brand won the 2008 World MMA Award for best MMA gloves and opened a dedicated European distribution centre in the Netherlands in 2025.

FAQ

Where does Fairtex come from and where is the gear made?

Fairtex is a Thai brand based in Bangkok. The trademark was registered in Thailand in 1958 and the factory has operated since 1971. Core fight equipment is made and inspected in Thailand by specialised teams experienced in combat gear manufacturing.

How do I choose the right Fairtex boxing glove size?

Glove size is given in ounces and depends on your body weight and the type of session. Sparring usually calls for heavier gloves (14 oz or 16 oz), while bag and pad work is commonly done in 10 oz or 12 oz. Check the size chart on the individual product page before ordering.

What is the difference between Muay Thai shorts and MMA shorts?

Muay Thai shorts are shorter and wider with a high side split that allows free high kicks and knees. MMA shorts sit closer to the body, are longer and use stretch panels for ground work and grappling. Sport Zona stocks 114 Muay Thai short models and 11 MMA models.

Which Fairtex categories are available at Sport Zona?

The catalogue holds 569 products: boxing gloves, MMA and grappling gloves, Muay Thai and MMA shorts, shin, head and mouth protection, pads and mitts, punching bags, hand wraps, bags and backpacks, jump ropes and rashguards.

How should I care for Fairtex leather gloves?

Wipe the outer surface with a dry or slightly damp cloth after training and let the gloves air dry away from direct sun and heaters. Never dry them on a radiator and do not store them sealed in a damp bag — the leather and stitching keep their shape far longer that way.
