Fairtex Ankle Support Size Guide

Fairtex AS1 Ankle Supports give compression and joint stability for Muay Thai, kickboxing, MMA and BJJ training. They're sold in a freesize (one-size-stretch) version and a sized version with S/M and L/XL bands. The sized variants give a closer, firmer fit — pick by ankle circumference.

Fairtex AS1 Ankle Support Size Chart (sized variants)

Measure your ankle circumference around the narrowest point just above the ankle bone, in centimetres.

Size Ankle Circumference (cm)
S / M 18 – 22
L / XL 22 – 26

How to measure

  • Sit or stand with your foot flat on the floor and your weight relaxed.
  • Wrap a soft tape measure around the narrowest part of your ankle, just above the ankle bone.
  • Record the measurement in centimetres. If you sit right at the boundary (e.g. 22 cm), size up for compression that builds with wear, or size down for an extra-firm support feel.

Fit notes

  • The freesize/one-size AS1 variants use a stretch cotton-spandex blend that fits ankles from approximately 18 cm to 26 cm. They're ideal if you want easy on/off or share the support between training partners.
  • The sized S/M and L/XL versions give a tighter compression band for fighters who want firmer joint support — the support stays in place better during high-intensity bag work and pad rounds.
  • Wear the support directly against the skin, not over a sock — that's where the cotton wicks sweat from.
