Rival Boxing Gear gloves Impulse RS80V Green-Black Boxing gloves

Green-black is the color of the boxer who stands out without shouting. The Rival Impulse RS80V in green-black combines a bold color combination with the reliable Rival technology you expect from this brand.

Angled Ergo-Strap: Rival's patented diagonal closure

The RS80V is equipped with the Rival Angled Ergo-Strap-System — a patented diagonal hook-and-loop closure that pulls the cuff diagonally around the wrist. The strap runs over the wrist at a 15° angle, aligning precisely with the natural position of a clenched fist.

The result is an optimal, uniform fit you won't find with standard hook-and-loop closures.

Durable microfiber and mesh palms

The exterior is made from specially developed durable microfiber by Rival — lightweight and able to withstand intensive training. The palms feature breathable mesh material that promotes air circulation and helps the glove dry faster between training sessions.

Less heat, less moisture, more comfort — session after session.

Specific features

+ 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.
+ Layered foam padding

The layered foam padding consists of multiple layers of foam that work together for maximum shock absorption on impact. The hands and knuckles are optimally protected, while the padding distributes the force of punches evenly across the entire glove.
+ Thumb protector

An integrated thumb protector prevents the thumb from being forced into an unnatural position upon impact. This is one of the most common injuries in boxing—among both beginners and advanced athletes.
The protector is built into the glove’s construction and limits the thumb’s range of motion without affecting feel or grip. Essential for anyone who regularly trains on the heavy bag or with pads.

Ergo Strap System

The Ergo Strap System offers an ergonomic fit, firm support, and secure fastening with a wide hook-and-loop closure. The strap starts wide on the palm side—up to 10 cm (4 inches) —and gradually tapers as it wraps around the wrist.

The closure runs at a 15° angle across the wrist, precisely matching the natural position of a clenched fist for optimal support and protection.

What is the Angled Ergo-Strap System?

The key to the success of the Ergo Strap System lies in its simplicity: a conventional strap with a uniform width is replaced by a strap that is wider on the palm side of the wrist and measures 10 cm at its widest point, providing greater comfort, stability, and support for the wrist. It has since become an industry standard.

Innovation has always been at the forefront at Rival Boxing. In fact, our entry into the market was based on a revolutionary concept that set us apart from the rest of the industry.

Before Rival Boxing introduced the Ergo Strap System, most Velcro boxing gloves used a conventional 5- or 7.5-cm strap to secure the glove. This old type of closure did little more than that and provided no support or stability for the wrist. With a little ingenuity, a simple innovation; Rival Boxing redefined what “normal” is.
