Mijn tweede paar alweer, geweldige zakhandschoenen! Plaatsing van mijn stoten, snelheid, kracht in handen en polsen, alles is vooruit gegaan. En neemt niet zoveel ruimte in mijn tas, want ik neem ook vaak gewone bokshandschoenen mee.

Ik heb er nu een paar weken mee getraind, en het zijn echt hele fijne zakhandschoenen. Door een recente blessure kan ik noodgedwongen wat minder kracht gebruiken, dus nu ligt de focus op snelheid, techniek en precisie. Daarvoor zijn ze ideaal!

Ivar 5/5 Verified October 22, 2025

Perfect product and very quick delivery. The gloves are incredibly useful to work your technique and hand placement on the bag, I could only recommend !

Kyle 5/5 Verified May 30, 2023

Waarschijnlijk een van de beste zakhandschoenen die je kunt krijgen. Het zorgt ervoor dat uw techniek en uw handen sterker worden op een manier die de meeste grotere handschoenen niet doen. Het geeft dat blote gevoel aan uw zaktrainingen en biedt u voldoende bescherming tegen snijwonden en schaafwonden. Ik raad deze handschoenen in alle opzichten ten zeerste aan.Lees minder

Dan 4/5 Verified March 8, 2021

Echt onder de indruk. Ik heb altijd de voorkeur gegeven aan wanten in oude stijl en deze voelen geweldig aan.

Rob 5/5 Verified February 22, 2021

Als je de grote boksers uit het verleden bestudeert, gebruikten ze allemaal zakwanten. Met zakwanten kunt u de weerstand van de bokszak langzaam opbouwen. Door zakwanten op de juiste manier te gebruiken, worden uw knokkels en polsen versterkt en op de lange termijn vermijdt u handblessures die een lange onderbreking van zaktraining / padwerk / sparring kunnen veroorzaken. Ik gebruikte zakhandschoenen als amateur en nu als coach raad ik zakhandschoenen aan aan al onze amateurboksers. Je handen zijn het gereedschap van je vak. Zorg dus goed voor ze

Tariq 5/5 Verified January 26, 2021

Het zijn echt de beste zakhandschoenen die ik ooit heb gebruikt. De handschoenen zorgen ervoor dat je meer gefocust kunt zijn op het laatste accent bij het laden van de stoot.

Sergii 5/5 Verified January 16, 2021

Uitstekende wanten voor snelheid, nauwkeurigheid en conditie.

Bryan 5/5 Verified October 26, 2019

Goede kwaliteit wanten, ouderwets, waardoor je nauwkeurig en schoon op de knokkels kunt slaan.

Frequently Asked Questions — Bag gloves Rival RB5 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.
