Hey friends, it’s Lizzie! Black Friday is 27 November 2026. If you are considering Hayabusa gear, make a shortlist and compare the actual offers when they are published. I’m a Hayabusa ambassador, so here is how I’d check whether a deal fits my budget.
This is a planning guide, not a confirmed 2026 sale announcement. Check the official store for current dates, prices and exclusions.
Heads up: I’m a Hayabusa ambassador and I earn a small commission if you shop through my links or use my code. No extra cost to you, and it doesn’t change what’s below.
The honest bit about my code
Most people expect me to tell you to use my code. During a big sale, that’s usually the wrong advice, and I’d rather be useful than pushy.
My US code is LILO. Check the eligible discount at checkout and compare it with any sale price; do not assume discounts combine. The offer and exclusions can change.
So the rule for Black Friday is simple:
- Comparing a sale and a code? Check the final item and shipping total under the offer you can actually use.
- Using LILO? Confirm eligibility and the amount applied before paying.
Either way, here's the store. Check the total at checkout so the bigger discount is the one that applies.
What’s worth waiting for
Start with what you need and what you can afford. A discount on an unnecessary item is still money spent.
Bags and stands: check the full delivered price, space and installation requirements. A large percentage discount can be outweighed by shipping.
Gloves: compare the exact model, size and color. Fit and the right glove for your activity matter more than a sale banner.
Hand wraps: buy a suitable pair when you need one for training. Their future discount is unconfirmed, so do not plan around a guaranteed saving.
Which gloves I’d put on the list
I own several pairs and train in all of them, so these are genuine picks rather than a catalogue.
T3 — my favorite and the one I’d buy if I could only buy once. The wrist support is the reason, and it still lets me feel where my punches land. Long-term review here.
E1 — I have used it, and it is my least favorite of these gloves. T3 remains my favorite. My E1 review explains the differences that matter to me.
T360 — mine are 12 oz. Model and glove-weight choice should follow your activity, fit and coach's guidance. My T360 update.
Still deciding between them? T3 vs E1 and every model, ranked.
Do the boring part before the sale starts
This is the advice I’d give a friend. Black Friday is a bad time to figure out your size, because the pair you want sells out while you’re measuring, and cross-border returns in December are miserable.
Work out your size now, in October, while there’s no pressure. These run snug before break-in and the fit changes once you’re wrapped, so trying them on bare-handed tells you very little. My sizing guide walks through it, and if you have smaller hands like me, read this one.
Then when the sale lands, you’re just adding to cart.
A warning about “70% off Hayabusa” listings
Every November, sites appear offering Hayabusa gear at prices that don’t make sense. Some of it is counterfeit, some of it simply never ships. Buy from Hayabusa directly, or from a retailer you already know.
Outside the US
In the UK and Europe, my code is LIZZIE, not LILO — different store, different code. Shop Hayabusa Europe, and there’s a full explainer on the UK and Europe page.
In Australia, you can shop the storefront here.
How I shop the sale myself
When an offer appears, check the exact item, size, shipping charge and return terms. Early pricing does not prove a later discount will be larger, and stock can change.
I also don’t buy gloves impulsively that week just because there’s a sale banner up. If I already own what I need, a sale isn’t a reason to buy more of it — it’s a reason to finally get the thing I’ve been putting off, like a proper bag stand or a second set of wraps.
What changes at checkout during a sale
Check the offer terms and final total. An affiliate code may have exclusions or may not combine with a promotion.
What to compare on your shortlist
| Item | What to check | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Heavy bags, stands, floor equipment | Delivered price | Include shipping and any setup requirements |
| Gloves | Exact model and size | Compare fit, coach requirements and the final offer |
| Hand wraps | Training needs | No future wrap discount is confirmed here |
| Apparel | Sizing and returns | Check exact item exclusions and final-sale terms |
Build your shortlist before the week starts
The mistake I see most is opening the site on the day and browsing. That is how you end up with a second pair of gloves you did not need because the percentage looked good.
Decide now, in writing, what you would buy at what price. Mine is short: if a bag or a stand drops meaningfully, that is the buy. Gloves only if I need a replacement, which most years I do not.
What to check on the day
Record the current price of the exact item before the sale, including its region, color and size. Compare that with the final sale total. The crossed-out price alone does not establish what you would otherwise have paid.
Do not assume a code stacks with a promotion. Read the current terms and compare the final totals rather than choosing by the largest advertised percentage.
After the sale ends
If nothing worth buying came up, that is a fine outcome. Gear you did not need at 30% off is still money spent. If you use my code later, check that it is still eligible and compare the current offer.
Your Pre-Black Friday Checklist
- Size sorted. Done in October with my sizing guide, not on the day.
- Shortlist written down, with the price you’d pay for each item.
- Training essentials sorted. Buy suitable wraps when you need them; a future discount is not guaranteed.
- Right store, right code. US: LILO. UK and Europe: LIZZIE on the Europe store. Australia: my storefront. Check the regional offer and eligibility.
- Shipping checked: use the current threshold, destinations and total shown by your regional store. See my Europe shipping guide, then verify the current checkout terms.
Before you spend: is Hayabusa worth the money and how their rewards program really works.
