Who This Glove Is For
The Fairtex BGV20 Genuine Leather is modelled after Fairtex's Aura design in raw, butter-soft leather — a single-color, small-hand-focused glove with a 5/5 satisfaction rating from its reviewers. The raw leather requires no aggressive break-in period, the circular padded wrist cuff with extended velcro strap is one of the better solutions for slender wrists in the BGV price tier, and the extra foam near the pinky finger provides an asymmetric protection detail not found on other models in this range. The limitation is obvious: pastel blue only, compact design, and a soft knuckle foam that prioritises comfort over power training feedback. It is popular with women, smaller fighters, and those who appreciate the subtler aesthetic. For fighters matching that profile, the 5/5 community verdict is clear — it delivers on every expectation. For power trainers or those wanting color options, look at the BGV9 or BGV1 instead.
Who It's Not For
- Fighters wanting colour options
- Power bag training (softer knuckle foam)
- Large hands
Pros & Cons
Pros
- 5/5 stars (11 reviews) — perfect satisfaction across all reviewers
- Raw, butter-soft leather that requires no harsh break-in period
- Circular padded cuff with long velcro strap accommodates slender wrists that other gloves gap on
- Extra foam concentration at the pinky provides asymmetric protection unique to this model
- Thumb lock prevents thumb injuries during training
- Designed specifically for smaller hands — the palm opens naturally for clinching after a few sessions
- Distinctive pastel blue aesthetic unlike anything else in the Fairtex catalog
Cons
- Only available in pastel blue — zero color flexibility
- Narrower knuckle padding than BGV19 or BGV9 — not for power bag training
- Single aesthetic (compact + feminine aesthetic) won't appeal to all fighters
- Limited size range in some markets
- Soft leather needs conditioning to maintain finish
