The original boxing gloves from Thailand

Below you will find everything about the models, sizes, colors, and maintenance of Twins boxing gloves - the favorite choice of boxers and kickboxers worldwide for their quality, durability, and reliability.

Handcrafted leather from the birthplace of Muay Thai – what makes Twins boxing gloves unique

Twins boxing gloves have been the world's most popular kickboxing gloves for decades—and for good reason. Each pair is  handmade in Thailand from  100% genuine cowhide, with a thickness of more than 1 millimeter for exceptional durability and resilience.

The stitching is  double-stitched, the thumbs are always stitched to the fist, and the finishing is precise down to the smallest detail. The  antibacterial inner surface neutralizes odors and guarantees freshness—even after the toughest training sessions.

The padding consists of  polyurethane foam with a carefully selected density: soft enough for comfort during sparring, yet firm enough for maximum protection. The wide, long  hook-and-loop closure first wraps completely around the wrist for optimal wrist support.

Twins Special is one of the few manufacturers recognized by the  Nevada State Athletic Commission, the  AIBA , and the  IFMA. Top fighters worldwide—from recreationalists to champions—train and fight wearing Twins.

Choosing the Right Weight – From 8 oz to 20 oz Explained

The weight of a boxing glove determines the amount of padding and therefore the protection—for both yourself and your training partner. As a rule of thumb: the heavier the weight, the more padding.

8 oz - exclusively for the Twins BGN. Suitable for light sparring, pad work, or if you have a very small build. Also the official competition weight for Muay Thai gloves.

10 oz - lightweight model, suitable for training on the punching bag and pads. Less suitable for sparring.

12 oz - the most popular size for women and lighter athletes. Suitable for both training and sparring.

14 oz - the standard size for most adult athletes. Ideal for sparring, pad work, and punching bag training.

16 oz - extra padding, recommended for heavy sparring and larger/heavier athletes. Required for sparring at many gyms.

18 oz and 20 oz - available exclusively in the Twins BGN. For heavier athletes or those who want maximum protection during sparring.

Rule of thumb: if you are unsure between two sizes, choose the heavier one—more padding is always safer for you and your training partner. If in doubt, we will be happy to advise you personally in our showroom.

More than 20 colors, duo-tone and Fantasy editions – the color selection from Twins

Twins Special is known for one of the widest color selections in the kickboxing world. Whether you want to keep it classic or stand out, there is always a Twins color that suits you.

Solid colors (BGVL3) - more than 20 solid color options, including black, white, burgundy, army green, gray, gold, silver, navy blue, sky blue, fire red, and pastel colors (blush, lemon, mint). The most timeless choice.

Duo-tone and triple (BGVL4) - combinations of two or three colors on a single glove. Available in options including triple navy, triple gold, and triple neon. For those who want to stand out without overdoing it.

FBGVL Fantasy editions - the most exclusive Twins gloves. Unique designs inspired by mythological and cultural figures: Dia de Muertos (orange, pink, classic), YakshaBarong and Comics. Handmade in limited quantities—when they are gone, they are gone.

Pastel series - soft pastel colors (blush, lemon, mint) especially popular with women. Available in 12 oz.

Suitable for Muay Thai, kickboxing, and boxing – which model is right for which sport?

Twins boxing gloves are designed based on the tradition of Muay Thai but are certainly also suitable for a wide range of other martial arts:

Muay Thai and thai boxing - the home of Twins. The BGVL3 and BGVL4 are the classic choice for Muay Thai training and sparring. The perforated palm provides ventilation during intense sessions.

Kickboxing - the Twins BGN is specially developed for the European kickboxing market, where more boxing techniques are combined with kicking techniques. The extra palm padding makes catching kicks more comfortable.

Boxing - the Twins BGLL with a lace-up closure is the classic choice for boxers. The BGVL3 and BGN are also excellent for classic boxing.

Heavy bag training and pad work - all Twins models are suitable for training on the punching bag and with punching mitts. For punching bag training only, the Twins bag gloves (TBM) are a better choice because of their more compact padding. Please note: we always recommend using separate gloves for the punching bag!

Cardio boksen and fitness - the BGN with extra palm padding is ideal for cardio boksen and fitness training.

Twins boxing gloves are suitable for larger children, women and men - from complete beginner to professional champion.

Caring for leather boxing gloves – this is how your Twins will last through many hours of training

Twins boxing gloves are made of 100% genuine cowhide leather and will last through many intensive training sessions with proper care. The leather is more than 1 millimeter thick and retains its resilience even after intensive use—provided you care for them properly.

After every training session: Leave the gloves open and dry them in a well-ventilated place —never in a sports bag or enclosed space. Moisture is leather’s greatest enemy. Use a disinfectant spray and/or put a deodorizer inside the gloves (after training) to neutralize odors.

Regular maintenance: Treat the leather every few weeks with a good leather cream or leather grease to keep it supple and prevent it from drying out. Dry leather cracks more easily and loses its protective properties.

What to avoid: Never put them in the washing machine. Do not dry them in direct sunlight or near a heat source. Do not use harsh cleaning products on the leather.

Wearing handwraps: Always wear handwraps under your boxing gloves. This not only protects your hands and wrists, but also keeps the inside of the gloves cleaner and drier—significantly extending their lifespan.

Frequently asked questions — Twins boxing gloves

What type of padding do Twins boxing gloves have?

All Twins BGVL3/BGN models

  • Thick, multi-layered foam padding for optimal protection.

Twins gloves have more padding on the back and side of the hand than a regular boxing glove. They are designed for Thai boxing, but are also suitable for kickboxing and boxing.

This padding is necessary for blocking kicks and backfist strikes. A Twins glove offers slightly less knuckle protection than a “classic” boxing glove of comparable weight. This is because the weight is distributed across other parts of the glove.

Collections

Can I use Twins boxing gloves for classic boxing?

Yes.

Twins boxing gloves are suitable for (Western) boxing, kickboxing, and thai boxing (Muay Thai).

They are also used in Krav Maga and MMA (stand-up fighting).

Although the Twins Special brand has its roots in Muay Thai, classic boxers around the world use Twins boxing gloves with at least as much enthusiasm.

Collections

How do the Twins boxing gloves (BGVL3/4/8 and BGN) fit?

Twins boxing gloves generally have a roomy fit and are suitable for both wide and regular hands. Although Twins boxing gloves have a fairly wide fit, they are also suitable for people with "regular" hands. There is enough room to wrap your handwraps properly. 

They are known for their somewhat

larger padding size. Our experience is that Twins gloves feel tight at first (which is normal), but become considerably roomier (stretch out) with use.

Onze ervaring is dat in het begin Twins strak aanvoelen (wat normaal is), maar dat ze behoorlijk ruimer worden (uitlopen) met gebruik.

How can I best maintain my Twins Special boxing gloves?

Boxing gloves have a limited lifespan. After all, they are used for hitting, and boxing gloves often endure a lot of wear and tear.

Of course, you can influence their lifespan yourself by handling them carefully and boxing gloves properly care for them. Don't throw them in a corner; take them out of your sports bag and let them dry properly (not in direct sunlight).
