Developed by boxers. For boxers. Choose your Rival headgear
Rival offers a headgear for every level and training goal — from the affordable entry-level RHG60F to the professional RHG100 and the fully handmade Guerrero.
Below you will find everything about the brand, the technologies, and each model. This way, you can choose the headgear that fits your training.
Rival Boxing Gear was founded with one goal: to make the very best boxing gear in the world. From day one, Rival has focused on the high-end segment of the (semi)professional boxing market — not on volume, but on quality.
The motto "By Boxing People For The Boxing World" is not a marketing slogan. Rival is run by people who box themselves, train, and understand what gear needs to do at the highest level.
The headgear line — the RHG series — is proof of that: each model is specifically developed for a different type of boxer and training purpose, from entry-level to competition model. From the affordable RHG60F to the professional RHG100 and the handmade Guerrero.

What makes Rival headgear unique?
Rival headgear is not just protectors with some foam. Each model is designed from the ground up for a specific purpose — from lightweight competition models to maximum protection during heavy sparren. Rival combines innovative materials with thoughtful ergonomic design.
What sets Rival apart: the RHG10 uses D3O™ technology — a smart material that is soft and flexible during normal use but instantly hardens upon impact for maximum shock absorption.
The RHG100 is built on the "Feather Lite" design — extremely light yet fully protective.
The Guerrero is completely handmade from full-grain leather with unique contouring around the face for superior visibility.
Each model has its own character — below you’ll find which model suits your training.
D3O® is an innovative material with extreme shock absorption! Unlike other cushioning materials, D3O® maintains its durable performance throughout the lifespan of, for example, bag gloves and headgear.
