Ergo Lace Track System Ergo Lace Track System

After tying gloves thousands of times over his 40 years in the sport, Russ began to realize that there was not only a pattern, but also a reason and logic behind the way gloves were laced.

When Rival developed the very first sparring glove, Russ (Rival's CEO and founder) wanted to implement several very important features. He wanted to create a glove that:

  1. would perform just as well as, or even better than, any other sparring glove on the market.
  2. could be used by top professionals round after round with complete confidence.
  3. would last longer than anything they had ever used before.
  4. would feature never-before-seen technology and design that Russ had envisioned for at least 15 years.

Thus, the "ERGO LACE TRACK SYSTEM" was born. By using a deep, crisscrossing pattern around the wrist and a ergonomically correct 15-degree angle at the wrist, we created the perfect fit—while keeping the laces hidden at the same time.

This paved the way for Rival's very first sparring glove, the RS1. This concept was so successful that the entire high-end line was built around this design. All these designs are Rival inventions and have since become industry standards.

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

Tips for Rival RFX Guerrero Sparring HDE-F boxing gloves

It is always advisable to use handwraps with your RFX Guerrero's. Besides supporting your hands, they also absorb a lot of sweat. You can then handwraps after use wash in the washing machine. So it certainly doesn't hurt to have several sets of handwraps.

A disinfectant spray and a deodorizer- to help your gloves dry faster - are also highly recommended to keep your boxing gloves fresh.

Wipe down your Rival gear after training with a clean, dry cloth and let it air out of your gym bag in a cool, shady, well-ventilated place. Use only a mild cleaner or sports spray suitable for the material. Do not use petroleum jelly, oil, leather grease or heavy creams, even on leather. Avoid washing machines, tumble dryers, direct heat and sunlight.

Overall rating: 5.0 / 5 from 12 reviews.

Wat een super fijne pasvorm heeft deze handschoen. Geweldige uitvoering en uitstraling. Ben niet heel snel enthousiast over Bokshandschoenen, maar deze staan wat mij betreft op nr 1. Zowel de prijs, the looks, als de functionaliteit voldoen aan een hoge standaard.

Bokshandschoenen Rival RFX Guerrero Sparring SF-H Wit (veters)

ik ben erg blij met mijn aankoop. De handschoenen voelen geweldig aan en hebben me goed gediend tijdens het sparren, heel erg bedankt Rival Boxing! Deze waren hard nodig. Supersnel verzonden, ze zijn een paar rondjes zachter geworden op de heavy bag. De beste bokshandschoenen die ik ooit heb gedragen.

Bokshandschoenen Rival RFX Guerrero Sparring HDE-F White (veters)

Deze handschoenen zijn geweldig! De leerkwaliteit is indrukwekkend en ze passen geweldig. Houd er rekening mee dat de HDE-F steviger is en een langere inlooptijd vereist, maar dat gezegd hebbende, zouden ze langer mee moeten gaan. Ik ben opgewonden om de duurzaamheid hiervan te zien! Bedankt Rival!

Frequently Asked Questions — Boxing gloves Rival RFX Guerrero Sparring HDE-F Red (laces)

How do I care for Rival gloves, pads and headgear?

Take your Rival gear out of your gym bag right after training. Wipe it down with a clean, dry cloth and let everything air-dry in a cool, shady, well-ventilated place.

For cleaning, use only mild cleaning products or sprays made specifically for sports gear and suitable for the material. A deodorizer, such as a glove dog, and a suitable sports spray help keep your gloves fresh.

Do not use a washing machine or dryer, and avoid direct sunlight, heaters and hot cars. Do not apply petroleum jelly, oil, leather grease or heavy creams, even to leather gear. Store your gear in a dry place.

Is there a difference between women’s and men’s boxing gloves?

Many boxing gloves can be worn by both men and women. The best choice depends on the hand compartment, wrist closure and intended use of the specific model.

Don't automatically choose a lower oz rating because you're a woman or a smaller athlete. Try on the gloves with handwraps and use the model-specific size chart. For a small hand, a more compact hand compartment may matter more than a lower glove weight.

Also check out our women's boxing gloves. Choose from this collection based on hand compartment size, fit and training goals.

Are these boxing gloves made of genuine leather?

Yes.

These boxing gloves are made of 100% genuine cowhide leather.

Collections

What does “oz” mean?

Oz is short for ounce, a unit of weight. One ounce is approximately 28.35 grams. For boxing gloves, the oz designation indicates a glove’s nominal weight class.

Oz is not a standardized hand size and does not tell you exactly how much padding a glove has. Gloves of the same weight can differ in hand space, padding distribution and intended use. For MMA gloves, you often choose the hand size separately, for example S, M or L.

Is there a difference between kickboxing gloves and boxing gloves?

Many boxing gloves can also be used for kickboxing. So the collection name alone does not determine whether a model is right for you. Focus on comparing the hand space, padding and wrist closure.

Boxing focuses on punching and keeping your guard up. In kickboxing and Muay Thai, blocking kicks and possibly clinching also come into play. Choose the design that feels comfortable for your training.

What size Rival RS11V boxing glove do I need?

Choose the weight class using the size chart and instructions for the specific model. Also consider your hand size, the room needed for handwraps, and the type of training you want to use the gloves for.

The oz rating is not a standardized hand size. A higher number does not automatically mean more room for your hand or a safer glove for every type of training. Don't choose based on gender or age alone. For sparren, the model's intended use and the agreed training rules are important.

Is a lace-up closure better for boxing gloves?

Not for every use. Laces let you adjust the closure across more of the cuff. Velcro is usually more practical if you want to put on your gloves quickly by yourself or need to take them off during training.

The overall fit also depends on the cuff, the hand compartment and the model's construction. A lace-up closure does not automatically make two different gloves equivalent. Tuck away laces and Velcro carefully so they cannot scratch your training partner.

How do Rival boxing gloves fit?

The fit varies by Rival model and version. Compare the hand compartment and wrist closure of the specific model and use its size chart.

Try on gloves with the handwraps you wear during training. You should be able to make a fist without pain, tingling, or uncomfortable pressure. Don't assume that breaking in a glove will fix a hand compartment that doesn't fit.
