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.

Wrist Lock 2

True to the philosophy of Rival Boxing, we continually strive for evolution, improvement, and innovation. Hence the development of the Wrist Lock 2 system.

Rather than adhering to a one-dimensional adjustment, Rival invented the double V-shaped strap With a loop on both the thumb side and the opposite side, the Wrist Lock 2 ensures that both sides of the glove are compressed evenly—similar to applying tape over the cuff of a professional boxing glove.

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 is definitely 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 transfers less impact 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 is not being beaten against the punching bag.
Bag gloves usually last much longer when used on a punching bag.

Heavy bag training is really good

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 specifically 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 greater wrist support.

Bag glove features:

Purpose: specifically designed for punching bags and pad training, to promote 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, to promote 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 an unattached thumb and sometimes no hook-and-loop closure or laces for quick putting on and removal.

The difference between boxing gloves and bag gloves

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 usually 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.

The (Short) History of Rival Boxing Gear

How does Wrist-Lock 2 work?

Rival developed 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 fully lace-up boxing glove.
