I purchased the Fairtex F DAY Army Green gloves and found that they are imitation!! The inner lining, material and quality overall is cheap and not that of original Fairtex (see my attached pic comparisons). From just looking at it, it looks pretty legit but once you touch and check the inner lining, you can see and feel the difference when compared to the real thing. You are warned and I am pissed. DO NOT BUY FROM THEM!

Im a small female and purchased the 12oz gloves .These gloves are synthetic, as advertised, and quickly showed signs of wear. I also found that my knuckles got quite sore despite wearing gel inserts. Because of the discomfort to my hands my trainer urged me to buy leather Fairtex gloves. The difference is quite marked . My hands are now well protected which has encouraged me to punch with increased confidence. The finish of the leather product is superior too. I'd advise spending a little extra for the leather Fairtex gloves to enjoy a much more comfortable boxing experience.

These gloves are great, however, a few weeks after using them I developed a horrible rash on my left arm. I stopped wearing them for a few weeks and the rash went away. Wore them yesterday and now the rash is back in full force. It is now past the time I can return them, and feel it’s a flaw with these particular gloves. I would be willing to exchange for a new pair, but can’t. Buyers beware.

Just got them today and used it in intense pad work abd sparring. I have always wanted to use 16oz. I didnt want a huge glove either. This size is perfect, its not huge, even smaller than my 14oz topking. But i think my hands are a bit small for 16oz. There were some space but once i wrapped my hands it was good to go.The weight distribution is top notch. i can actually feel the difference when i throw kicks. I have been using top king super air gold star, i can feel my hands flailing out and down because most of the weight is in the front of the gloves. With fairtex bgv11 i can keep my hand up much easier when i throw kicks. i dont like bring my kicking side hand all the way down when I kick. I keep it straight. These gloves makes it a lot easier.Even though its synthetic leather, the pop and hit feel the same as real leather. Love that sound and i can also feel the hit despite i was using 16oz.I personally like gloves with longer cuffs to protect my wrist, bgv11 got a really long cuff but your wrists can still move pretty comfortably around, great for clinching. And the velcro is so perfect, you can make it tight and the velcro tab still wont stick out and scratch people. Very sturdy too, Great design.I got the optical art, looks freaking awesome, gotten quite a few compilments and my gloves stand out from the crowd.Shipping was fast. Three business days straight outta thailand. Thanks imaggie. Came with the box too, i almost cried when I saw that it came with the box... didnt expect it and super stoked.I had two real leather gloves and they fall apart pretty fast. But i have had some cheap everlast gloves with synthetic leather that lasted me for at least three years with almost no damage except the palm mesh was balling up a bit. I decided to give this a try, seems beefy. Will update months down the line. I train everyday spar everyday

This is my third pair of Fairtex gloves. The first two are the BGV5 models which I want to comment on first.The 16oz Red BGV5 was purchased in Sept 2015The 16oz Black BGV5 was purchased in Oct 2016.The 16oz Black and Yellow BGV14Y were purchased Feb 2017.-The first pair was used for sparring, pads and bag work for a year, 5 times a week on average. I used some miso bags to help keep them from getting gross inside over this time. Another year with these gloves and they now started showing some cracking/opening around the wrist. The wrist support was/is great and the hand room has enough space to not feel restricted and not enough to feel it floating around.-The second pair was purchased to replace the first for sparring. They seemed lighter/smaller but hand to hand, I could never tell. I figured the padding just expanded over time on the first one. 6 months later, they're still great sparring. Similar to the first pair, the wrist support is solid, seems to be a bit more hand room in this one but again, not enough for it to swim around.I'll break here and say the most recent pair is what caused me to do the side by side and weigh using a food scale.The BGV1s, despite the size difference, weight exactly the same, just a little over 18oz. I wish I weighed this at time of purchase to see if it changed over time. Yes, they were weighed while dry not been used for almost two days.The BGV14Y, the apparent longest of the three, weighed a little over 14oz, despite being having 16oz printed on the wrist strap. I bought these for sparring but given the lighter weight, I'm just decommissioning the red BGV1s and using these for pads and bags.-The most recent pair, are very simliar as far as wrist support, maybe just a bit more. However, the hand room is much smaller. Ironically for me, these would be great for clinch work if they actually weighed what they say. I still need to break them in more but so far they have been great for the bag.I would give the BGV14Y 5 stars if they at least weighed what they're advertised as.

I love the weight of these gloves, they're so much lighter than the Title gloves I've been training with... I've had two Title pairs that have both exploded inside - hands wrapped and all - and were way too heavy. These are nothing like them, they're PERFECT! I also have to say i LOVE the color of them! I'm one of 2 women who box at my gym, always fun discussions there.. I feel like I can train a lot better with these since the weight is much better and, of course, velcro, well, that's always a must. They fit to my hands perfectly too, wrapped or just to throw on for a quick bit on the bag for some HIT work... If you've been thinking about them, GET THEM! they're SO worth it!
