Fairtex shorts

Key facts:

• No dated Fairtex short price in the extract.
• BGV1 £114.99 and Sandee Cool-Tec (now £114.99 on sandeeboxing.com (checked 23 Oct 2026)) are gloves.
• Size them on Fairtex's own chart. We did not print a centimetre conversion.
• Authorised retailers only. No marketplace links.

What we know about the brand, from the glove page

Fairtex's Europe page, read 10 Oct 2026, describes BGV1 gloves as handmade in Thailand. The global BGV1 page describes premium genuine leather, three-layer foam, a tight fit and a short wrist, in 8oz to 16oz, and showed 139 US dollars for a listed colour and size. That dollar figure is not a UK shelf price and it is not a short. It is evidence the brand publishes specs, which is why a shorts page should wait for a shorts spec rather than borrow the glove.

How to buy

Buy Fairtex, Twins and Yokkao from the brand or an authorised retailer. We do not earn from links on this page. We do not link marketplaces, and we have not lab-tested any product.

Measure your waist where the short will sit. Write the number down. Open the chart for the model, not a forum row that says medium means 30 inches. We do not have that row in a source. Traditional, retro and other cuts are labels. We did not open a pattern with rise and hip measurements, so we do not claim one cut is roomier.

A first class does not require this brand. The gym's loaner kit, or any short you can kick in, is enough to find out if you will return. Shin guards and a groin guard come when partner work starts. The order is on the starter-kit page.

FAQs

How much are Fairtex shorts in the UK?

We do not have a dated catalogue price. The 8 Oct 2026 catalogue extract has glove and shin rows and no shorts row. Fairtex BGV1 gloves are £114.99 in that extract, and Sandee Cool-Tec 3-Tone, now £114.99 on sandeeboxing.com (checked 23 Oct 2026), is also a glove. Copying either figure onto a short would be a false citation. Read the price on fairtex.com or an authorised retailer on the day you buy.

How do Fairtex shorts fit?

Use the size chart on the Fairtex page or the authorised retailer for that model. We did not open a centimetre chart, so this page does not print one, and it does not say the shorts run small. Measure where the short will sit. If you are between sizes, follow that model's chart. A short that digs into the hip will ride up in the clinch.

Are marketplace Fairtex shorts acceptable?

We do not link marketplaces for Fairtex. We also did not open a hologram guide, so we will not describe a sticker test. The check we will stand behind is the seller: the brand, or an authorised retailer. A price far under the brand's own page is a reason to compare the two tabs, not a verdict we can make without the product in hand.

Do I need Fairtex shorts for a first class?

No. Shorts you can kick in are enough for a trial. A Muay Thai cut matters once you are throwing full kicks, because a long basketball short catches the thigh. Buy a branded pair when you know you are staying. Gloves and wraps are the earlier purchase if the gym does not lend them. The starter kit prices that pair at £58.98 catalogue price, dated 8 Oct 2026.
