Windy Fight Gear:

Founded in 1951, Windy Fight Gear is one of Thailand’s oldest and most respected boxing equipment manufacturers. As old school as it gets. Unlike other Muay Thai brands which are constantly innovating, Windy perfected their kit in the heat of the Thai fight game, decades ago and stuck with it. From the, ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’ school of thought. Old, faithful and reliable. For many experienced, professional Nak Muay, Windy boxing gloves are a go to favourite. After 70 years in the hardest game in the world, Windy Fight Gear is still holding it’s own.

Twins Special:

Twins was founded in Thailand in 1992, branching off from the Windy brand. The mother and father who own Windy set up Twins Special, for their sons. Simultaneously making boxing equipment and sponsoring big promotions in Thailand. Twins took the domestic fight game by storm. Otherwise paying little attention to the global market. Foreign fighters making their Muay Thai pilgrimage to Thailand quickly became fans of Twins equipment. Those foreign Nak Muay sent Twins Special fight gear back home, inadvertently making Twins a globally recognized brand. Such was Twins popularity, Twins boxing gloves have even become popular as a reliable alternative for Western boxers. Now considered one of the three best Muay Thai equipment manufacturers in the world today.

Twins Special Thailand continues to make changes to their branding and logos. Read more about their latest changes in 2022 here.

Fairtex gyms were some of the first gyms in Thailand to welcome foreigners. In Thailand, Nak Muay often take on the gym name as their surname. Monstrous fighters such as Yodsanklai Fairtex and Stamp Fairtex carry the Fairtex name for a reason!

Fairtex sold their equipment domestically until the 90s, then they took the brand to the international market. Subsequently branching out into the wider fight game. Today they are constantly innovating. Making everything from Muay Thai equipment like their flagship BGV1 Fairtex boxing gloves to their BGL7 Mexican style puncher’s gloves.
