Fairtex SP5 size chart

Pick your glove size and shin guard size separately. Most gyms ask for 16oz gloves for sparring, while 8oz–12oz is commonly used for bag and pad work. You can also check our glove size guide for more help.

Fairtex SP5 shin guards are sized by shin length. Measure from the top of your ankle bone to just below your kneecap, then match your measurement to the Fairtex SP5 chart below.

Care & Maintenance

Caring for your gear

Gloves
Air your gloves and shin guards out after every session and never leave them zipped in your gym bag. Wear hand wraps under your gloves to keep them fresher for longer. See our glove cleaning guide.

Shin Guards
Open the straps fully and hang your shin guards somewhere airy after every session. Never leave them zipped in your gym bag, because that's where the smell starts. For a deeper clean, read our guide to cleaning Muay Thai gear.

Is a sparring set good for beginners?

Is a sparring set good for beginners?

Yes. It's the easiest way to get properly kitted out from day one. You won't need to research each piece separately, and you'll have quality gear that will last well beyond your first year of training.

You get everything you need to spar in one go, and it costs less than buying each piece separately. Your gloves and shin guards are matched in colour and style, so you'll look sharp and fresh walking into the gym. They're also the same brand and quality throughout, so you're not mixing a great pair of gloves with a budget pair of shins.

Size & Fit

Sizing & fit

Shin guards are sized by shin length first. Measure from the top of your ankle bone to just below your kneecap, then match it to our shin guard size chart.

If you're between sizes, go by shin length and use the straps to fine-tune the fit. Each Thai brand cuts slightly differently, so if you're unsure, message us with your height and shin measurement and we'll tell you exactly what to order.

How should they fit?

The top should sit just below your kneecap without digging in, and the foot pad should cover your instep. The straps should lie flat against your calf.

A quick test is to stand in your stance and throw a few light checks. The guard shouldn't twist or slide. If it does, it's usually a size too big or the straps need tightening.

Leather or synthetic

Leather or synthetic?

Genuine leather lasts longer, holds its shape under heavy use and moulds to your leg over time. Good synthetics are lighter and easier on a budget, and they're a great choice for beginners or lighter pad work.

Is it authentic?

Is it authentic?

Yes, 100% genuine, every time. Over our years in Muay Thai, we've built close, long-standing relationships with the brands and suppliers in Bangkok and around Thailand. We buy direct from them and send it straight to your door, with no middlemen, no resellers and no copies. It's the same gear trusted in Thai gyms and stadiums.
