For over two decades, the Twins BGVL3 has reigned as the gold standard in Muay Thai gloves. Renowned for their exceptional hand protection and durability, these gloves have earned a loyal following across boxing, Muay Thai, and MMA communities worldwide. However, even classics can be improved.
The BGVL3 Legacy
The BGVL3 has long been celebrated for its multi-layered high-density foam padding that offers superior knuckle protection. The design features a natural hand position and a well-placed grip bar, making it an excellent all-purpose training glove for everything from heavy bag work to sparring.
But despite its popularity, the BGVL3 has consistently faced one particular criticism: the bulky padding on the back of the hand that creates a noticeable step down to the wrist. This chunky design, while excellent for protection against kicks and knees, has been known to hinder clinching techniques – a crucial element of Muay Thai.
Introducing the BGVL4
Twins has finally addressed this longstanding issue with their new BGVL4 model. This updated design maintains the same exceptional hand protection that made the BGVL3 famous but features a streamlined shape at the back of the hand.
The BGVL4 preserves all the quality hallmarks that Twins is known for:
- Handmade in Thailand
- 100% premium Thai leather construction
- Attached thumb design
- Durable Velcro wrist closure
- Multi-layered padding for maximum protection
The key difference is the more ergonomic profile that eliminates the chunky step-down padding that could interfere with clinching techniques. This modification makes the gloves more versatile for the complete range of Muay Thai techniques while maintaining the protection that fighters expect from Twins.
This evolution represents Twins Special’s commitment to listening to fighter feedback while preserving the core qualities that have made their gloves the standard in Muay Thai for generations. The company plans to implement this improved design across all their future product lines, ensuring that the BGVL4 will carry forward the Twins legacy for the next generation of fighters.
