Bag gloves Rival RFX-Guerrero Croco

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.

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.

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.

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.

Rival Boxing Gear was founded in Canada in the early 2000s and has since experienced steady growth in the world of martial arts, with an emphasis on classic boxing. The company was founded by Russ Anber, a prominent name in the boxing world.

Anber, a respected boxing trainer and coach, had an in-depth understanding of what fighters needed to improve their skills and excel in the ring. With this background and expertise, he aimed to produce high-quality equipment that would meet fighters’ needs.

Intelli-Shock D3O™ is the world's best shock-absorbing padding. ter wereld.

Rival Boxing Gear was the first, and is currently the only, company in the boxing or MMA world to use it.

How effective is Intelli-Shock? You get the same protection with approximately one-quarter inch (6 mm) or one-eighth inch (3 mm) of Intelli-Shock padding as with approximately one inch (25 mm) of other padding. This is because it uses Intelligent Shock Absorption™, a patented shock-absorbing material developed with Intelligent Molecules.

At low speeds, the molecules in D3O™ flow freely, making it soft and flexible, while at high speeds, the molecules come together to form an excellent shock absorber. D3O™ provides significantly more protection than conventional foams, making it the perfect solution for improving the internal protection of equipment and accessories.

The Rival RB10 Intelli-Shock bag gloves, which use this technology, become firmer on contact and not only reduce the amount of energy transferred to the body by 40%*. This means a drastic reduction in impact stress, while the glove is also approximately 38% lighter than regular gel-technology bag gloves available on the market.

D3O® is an innovative material with extreme shock absorption! Unlike other cushioning materials, D3O® retains its durable performance throughout the lifespan of, for example, boxing gloves. It is also used in protective clothing for defense and extreme sports, such as ice hockey.
