Boxing gloves Rival RS1 Pro Sparring 20A (laces)

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 (CEO and founder of Rival) 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 technology and design never seen before, which 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 of these designs are Rival inventions and have since become industry standards.

The RS100 sparring glove is one of Rival's highlights, thanks in part to the innovative and ingenious Ergonomic True Fist Construction system.

When you place your hand in this glove, you can comfortably close your fist for the most natural fist position possible, without uncomfortable pressure from the foam and without having to bend the glove before your hand is in the natural punching position.

The principles of Ergonomic True Fist Construction allow you to freely open and close your hand without disrupting the construction of the glove's hand compartment. Comfort, safety, and maximum performance are guaranteed!

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 equipment available. He began innovating, patenting, and building, permanently changing the boxing world with patented designs in gloves, punching mitts, and handwraps.
