Bag gloves Rival Intelli-Shock RB50 black

Most of our customers actually don't want to buy more than 1 pair of boxing gloves, although that is usually the best choice . If you regularly train on a punching bag (or on hand pads), it is really wiser to purchase separate bag gloves for that. Both pairs will also last much longer as a result.

Advantages of bag gloves on the punching bag:

• Bag gloves have a flatter striking surface and flatter padding, which transmits less impact to the wrists with correct technique
• Bag gloves are smaller and lighter. This allows you to punch much faster and more precisely.
• Your sparring boxing gloves will last much longer because the padding is not destroyed on the punching bag.
• Bag gloves usually last much longer on a punching bag

Bag gloves and boxing gloves are both used in (kick)boxing training but serve different purposes and have distinct features.

Bag gloves are specially designed for punching bag training and pad work. They have less padding and often less wrist support, providing more feedback and faster combination possibilities.

Boxing gloves, on the other hand, are used for sparring and possibly competitions, focusing on protection and safety with thicker padding and more wrist support.

Features of bag gloves:

• Purpose: specially designed for punching bags and pad training to enhance speed and precision.
• Padding: less padding compared to boxing gloves for more impact feedback. The materials are of much higher density to withstand repeated impact.
• Wrist support: less wrist support to promote proper punching technique. However, this is not always the case; many Rival bag gloves have excellent wrist support (Wrist-Lock 2).
• Fit: smaller and tighter fit for better wrist stabilization.
• Weight: lighter for faster punches and combinations. Usually 8 oz or 10 oz.
• Design: usually has a loose thumb and sometimes no Velcro or laces for quick on and off.

Bag gloves, which are used for training on a punching bag or pads, are usually much lighter than sparring gloves.

They are typically somewhere between 6 oz and 12 oz (170 to 340 grams).

Unlike regular boxing gloves, bag gloves are usually offered in standard sizes like S, M, L, and XL instead of ounces, because they are designed to fit the boxer’s hand well.

For comparison: Sparring gloves are usually between 12 oz and 18 oz (340 and 520 grams), with much more padding for protection during training with a partner.

Rival Boxing Gear was founded in Canada in the early 2000s and has since experienced steady growth in the world of martial arts, with a focus on classic boxing. The company was founded by Russ Anber, a prominent name in the boxing world.

Anber, a respected boxing trainer and coach, had deep knowledge of what fighters needed to improve their skills and excel in the ring. With this background and expertise, he aimed to produce high-quality gear that would meet the needs of fighters.

Intelli-Shock D3O™ is the best shock-absorbing padding in the world.

Rival Boxing Gear was the first, and is currently the only, company in the boxing or MMA world to use it.

How effective is Intelli-Shock? You get the same protection with about a quarter inch (6 mm) or an eighth inch (3 mm) of Intelli-Shock padding as with about one inch (25 mm) of other padding. This is because it uses Intelligent Shock Absorption™, a patented shock-absorbing material developed with Intelligent Molecules.

At low speeds, the molecules in D3O™ flow freely, making it soft and flexible, while at high speeds the molecules lock together to form an excellent shock absorber. D3O™ provides significantly more protection than conventional foams, making it the perfect solution to enhance the internal protection of equipment and accessories.

The Rival RB10 Intelli-shock bag gloves, which use this technology, harden on impact and reduce not only the amount of energy transferred to the body by 40%*. This means there is a drastic reduction in stress upon impact, but the glove is also about 38% lighter than regular bag gloves with gel technology available on the market.

D3O® is an innovative material with extreme shock absorption! Unlike other padding materials, D3O® maintains its durable performance throughout the lifespan of, for example, boxing gloves. It is also used in protective clothing for defense and extreme sports, such as ice hockey.

The key to the success of the Ergo Strap System lies in its simplicity: a conventional strap with a uniform width is replaced by a strap that is wider on the palm side of the wrist and measures 10 cm at its widest point, providing more comfort, stability, and support to the wrist. It has now become an industry standard.

Innovation has always been a priority at Rival Boxing. In fact, our entry into the market was based on a revolutionary concept that set us apart from the rest of the industry.

Before the introduction of the Ergo Strap System by Rival Boxing, most Velcro boxing gloves used a conventional strap of 5 or 7.5 cm to close the glove. This old type of closure did little more than that and offered no support or stability to the wrist. With a bit of thought, a simple innovationwas born; Rival Boxing redefined what "normal" is.
