Specific features

  • + Closed-cell foam and latex padding

    The padding in this product consists of a combination of closed-cell foam and latex - two materials that together provide maximum impact absorption during bag training. Closed-cell foam has a closed structure, retains its shape under repeated impact, and does not absorb moisture. Latex adds resilience and ensures quick rebound after every contact.

    The combination optimally absorbs the force of every punch, protecting the hands and joints—even during intensive, prolonged use on the punching bag.

  • + Rival's 15° angled cuff

    The 15° angled cuff is one of the most recognizable features of Rival Boxing Gear. The cuff is set at a 15-degree angle, keeping the wrist in a slightly bent, natural position.

    This reduces strain on the wrist joint on impact and ensures better power transfer with every punch.

  • + Rival AirFlow Regulation System

    The AirFlow ventilation system provides optimal ventilation during intense training sessions and keeps the gloves fresh and dry.

  • + Printed and embroidered Rival graphics

    Rival products feature printed and embroidered graphics that enhance the brand’s premium look. The combination of printing and embroidery provides a finish that stays sharp—even after intensive use, sweat, and repeated washing.

    While cheaper brands opt for simple stickers or surface prints that quickly fade, Rival invests in a durable graphic finish that keeps the product’s identity visible for the long term. A sign of quality that you truly appreciate after many hours of training.

  • + Breathable mesh material on the palms

    The breathable mesh material in the palms of Rival gloves ensures optimal airflow during training. Heat and moisture are wicked away, keeping your hands cooler and preventing the gloves from developing odors as quickly.

    The mesh is durable and retains its structure even after intensive use and regular airing—a detail that makes all the difference during long training sessions.

  • + Soft, foam-like inner lining

    The soft, foam-like lining of Rival gloves adapts to the shape of the hand and provides a comfortable fit without pressure points. The material absorbs minor vibrations and protects the hand even during prolonged use.

    The lining feels pleasant against the skin and retains its softness even after many training sessions—so putting them on feels comfortable every time.

  • + Indestructible Super Rich Microfiber

    Indestructible Super Rich Microfibre is the patented outer material that Rival specifically developed for its premium product line.

    It is not standard microfibre—it is a unique material developed by Rival itself that withstands the demanding conditions of intensive daily training without losing its shape, colour, or texture.

    The material combines two properties that are normally difficult to achieve together: exceptionally strong and lightweight. Whereas traditional leather is heavier and stiffer, this microfibre offers a rich, premium appearance with a supple feel that is instantly comfortable—and stays that way even after many hours of training.

Handschoenen heb een goede pasvorm en bieden veel steun aan de pols. Padding is goed en handschoenen voelen ontzettend licht aan je handen. Echt een aanrader!

Zakhandschoenen Rival RB11 Evolution Zwart

Geweldige handschoenen, ik heb ze pas twee keer gebruikt op een bokszak en ze voelen fantastisch aan. Het materiaal zorgt ervoor dat de stoten veel beter aanvoelen. Ik raad ze 100% aan, je krijgt precies waar je voor betaalt. Een topaankoop!

Zakhandschoenen Rival RB11 Evolution Zwart

Ik ben net begonnen met bokstraining. Ik had goede handschoenen nodig om te voorkomen dat ik mijn handen kapot sla op de bokszak. Dit paar is fantastisch. Licht genoeg zodat ik niet moe word, maar sterk genoeg zodat ik mijn knokkels niet bezeer. Ik ben erg blij dat ik deze gekocht heb.

Zakhandschoenen Rival RB11 Evolution Wit

Deze handschoenen zijn geweldig. Het duurt even voordat ze ingeslagen zijn, maar als dat eenmaal gebeurd is, zul je blij zijn dat je het geld eraan hebt uitgegeven. De Rival RB11 biedt uitstekende polsondersteuning en goede feedback. Je zult zeker een verschil merken in vergelijking met andere handschoenen. Ze zijn niet zo zacht en niet zo hard als andere merken. Dit geeft ze een uniek gevoel. Je voelt precies welk deel van je vuist je gebruikt. Het trainen op verschillende bokszakken en stootkussens wordt zo een meer verfijnde manier om je skills te verbeteren. Over het algemeen kan ik deze handschoenen aanbevelen en ik kijk ernaar uit om meer handschoenen van Rival te gebruiken.

Frequently Asked Questions — Bag gloves Rival RB11 Evolution Black

Why should I use bag gloves?

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

Benefits of bag gloves on the punching bag:

  • Bag gloves have a flatter striking surface and flatter padding, which means less impact is transferred to the wrists when using proper 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 isn't being beaten against the punching bag.
  • Bag gloves usually last much longer on a punching bag.

What is the difference between bag gloves and boxing gloves?

Bag gloves and boxing gloves are both used during (kick)boxing training, but they serve different purposes and have different features.

Bag gloves are specially designed for punching bag and pad training. They have less padding and often less wrist support. This provides more feedback and allows for faster combinations.

Boxing gloves, on the other hand, are used for sparring and potentially competitions, with an emphasis on protection and safety through thicker padding and more wrist support.

Bag glove features:

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

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

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

Unlike regular boxing gloves, bag gloves are usually offered in standard sizes such as S, M, L, and XL rather than ounces, because they are designed to fit the boxer’s hand properly.

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.

How does Wrist-Lock 2 work?

Rival designed the double-angle V-strap to improve their products even further.  

The Wrist Lock 2 is attached via a loop on both the thumb side and the other side of the glove, ensuring that both sides of a glove, from the thumb to the cuff, are pressed evenly when fastening the strap. This is similar to tape applied over the cuff of a professional competition glove.

This system in a hook-and-loop glove comes as close as possible to the comfort and stability of a full-lace boxing glove.
