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
  • + Soft, foam-like inner lining
  • + Indestructible Super Rich Microfiber

    Of 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 intense daily training without losing its shape, color, or structure.

    The material combines two properties that are normally difficult to bring together: extremely strong and lightweight. Where traditional leather is heavier and stiffer, this microfibre offers a rich, premium look with a softness that feels comfortable right away—and stays that way, even after many hours of training.

    This is the material that defines the RS and Guerrero lines, and the reason Rival gloves still look as good as new after years of use.

Wrist Lock 2 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.

Rival strives, across as many product lines as possible, to guarantee an ergonomic and anatomical design that is as possible .

This principle forms the basis of the design philosophy and ensures that Rival Boxing Gear pays special attention to every aspect of every new idea – whether it concerns the correct anatomical fit for our RNFL groin protector or gloves such as the RB5 bag gloves that stay firmly secured, allowing you to form a perfect fist kunt maken.

Frequently Asked Questions — Bag gloves Rival RB11 Evolution Red

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.

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.
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.

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.
