Rival Boxing Gear gloves RB5 Red Bag gloves

The Rival RB5 Red is the bag glove for boxers who want to refine their technique. Whereas heavier bag gloves protect the hand during power training, the RB5 is designed for technical training and speed development. Made from 100% leather—the old-school choice for boxers who know what they want.

Old-school bag mitt - the feel of the bare fist

The RB5 is an old-school bag mitt with minimal obstruction. The ultra-thin EVA padding protects the knuckles and metacarpals without disturbing the natural fist position. You feel what you hit—essential for boxers working on jab technique, combinations, and timing on the punching bag.

Ergo-Lite-System - lightweight and ergonomic

The patented Rival Ergo-Lite-System combines an ergonomic fit with a lightweight construction. The RB5 fits like a second skin—the glove moves with your hand without shifting. The hook-and-loop closure provides a secure fit around the wrist. The breathable mesh material in the palm keeps your hand cool during intense sessions.

Specific features

+ Rival Ergo-Lite-System for a perfect fit

The Rival RB5 is equipped with the patented Ergo-Lite-System — an ergonomic design that makes the glove fit the hand like a second skin. This system minimizes obstruction and gives you the feeling of punching with your natural, bare fist.
+ 100% leather for maximum durability

The RB5 is made from 100% leather, the material top athletes choose for intensive bag work. The leather molds to the hand, becomes more supple with use, and retains its shape after many hours of training.
+ Ultra-thin EVA padding for improving technique

The ultra-thin EVA padding of the RB5 protects the knuckles and metacarpals without restricting the fist. The old-school design encourages proper punching techniques and improves accuracy - ideal for boxers who want to refine their technique. van de RB5 beschermt knokkels en middenhandsbeentjes zonder de vuist te beperken. Het old-school design stimuleert correcte stoot-technieken en verbetert accuratesse — ideaal voor boksers die hun techniek willen aanscherpen.
+ Breathable mesh for dry hands during training

The palm of the RB5 is made of breathable mesh material that wicks away heat and moisture. The soft, foam-like lining provides comfort during extended bag-training sessions, while the hook-and-loop closure ensures a quick and secure fit.
+ Printed and embroidered Rival graphics

Rival products feature printed and embroidered graphics that enhance the brand's premium appearance. The combination of printing and embroidery provides a finish that stays sharp - even after intensive use, sweat, and repeated washing.
Where cheaper brands opt for simple stickers or superficial prints that fade quickly, Rival invests in a durable graphic finish that keeps the product's identity visible for a long time. A sign of quality that you truly appreciate after many hours of training.

Rival - Designed in Canada

In 2003, Russ Anber Rival Boxing Gear founded it - not as a businessman, but as someone who had spent decades in the gym and knew exactly what was lacking in the available equipment. He began innovating, patenting, and building, permanently changing the boxing world with patented designs in gloves, punching mitts, and handwraps.

“My gift was the ability to coach, break things down, analyze and make people understand how things work.” — Russ Anber

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 !

geweldige zakhandschoenen, zijn zeer comfortabel!

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 Red

Why should I use bag gloves?

With a separate pair for bag and pad training, you don't have to keep using your sparring gloves for heavy bag work. That helps preserve the padding and fit of your sparring pair for training with a partner.

Choose a bag glove based on hand space, closure, feel on impact, and intended use. Bag gloves aren't necessarily lighter, smaller, or flatter than every boxing glove. Don't use them for sparren unless the exact model is designed for it.

Heavy bag training is really good

What is the difference between bag gloves and boxing gloves?

Bag gloves are intended for punching bag and pad training. Sparring gloves are designed for training with a partner. Padding, hand space and closure vary by model; a bag glove does not necessarily offer less wrist support.

Do not use a bag glove for sparren just because its weight is similar to that of a sparring glove. Check the model's stated use. Separate bag and sparring gloves can help prevent your sparring pair from taking constant wear on the punching bag.

The difference between boxing gloves and bag gloves

How heavy are bag gloves?

That varies by model and size. There are lightweight bag mitts and heavier-duty bag gloves; there is no fixed weight range that applies to all models.

Some models use letter sizes, while others have an oz designation. A stated oz weight class is not the same as an independently measured product weight in grams. Also consider hand space and training goals.

Should I condition or grease the leather?

Keep leather sports equipment clean and let it air-dry after training. Gently wipe off dirt with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Not all leather needs conditioning: use a suitable leather care product only when the type of leather and its finish allow it, and apply a thin layer. Do not use leather grease on microfiber or other synthetic coverings.
