Specific features

+ Leather & microfibres - 15 mm foam padding

Made of leather and microfiber with a 15 mm thick foam padding for effective protection of the groin and kidneys during boxing training.
+ Velcro closure

The hook-and-loop closure is the most widely used closure in martial arts - and for good reason. It is quick to put on, easy to adjust, and provides a secure, reliable fit without anyone else's help.
The closure keeps the wrist stable during training and sparren, and remains just as effective after many sessions as it was on day one. Suitable for beginners and advanced practitioners who value convenience without compromising on support.
+ Lightweight

A lightweight construction means less fatigue during training - without compromising protection or durability. Less weight on the hands or head allows for faster movements, less muscle fatigue, and better technique over longer sessions.
Especially for boxers and kickboxers working on speed and endurance, weight is a factor that matters. Lightweight equipment lets you train harder and longer without the gear holding you back.

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

Rival Boxing Gear: Russ Anber, innovations and international growth

Is a groinguard mandatory?

That depends on the sport, type of practice, and competition rules. A groinguard may be recommended or required during training, but there is no universal rule that applies equally to every martial art, every exam, and every participant.

Check the equipment requirements for your training session or event and choose a model designed for that purpose. A proper fit and secure fastening remain important, even when the groinguard is required.

Can groinguards and cups be washed?

Clean the parts separately. Remove a removable cup from the fabric shorts before washing them. Wipe the cup clean after use with a soft, slightly damp cloth and let it dry thoroughly. Clean larger padded no-foul protectors by wiping them down, not by putting them whole in the washing machine. Don’t forget the belts, fastenings and lining.

What size groinguard should I get?

Use the size chart for your model: choose XPRT Basic men's by weight, and Shock Doctor and Rival by waist size. For XPRT Basic men's, size M is 51–70 kg; for Shock Doctor, M is a waist size of 81–86 cm, and for Rival RNFL Pro, 76–86 cm. Women's models have their own size charts. Then lift your knees and twist to check that the protector stays in place without pinching.

Is Rival's Super Rich Microfiber just as strong as genuine leather?

Super Rich is Rival's synthetic microfiber covering, designed as an alternative to leather. The material is practical for regular training and does not need to be treated with leather grease. The lifespan of the entire glove also depends on the stitching, padding, how it is used, and proper drying. The material name alone therefore does not tell you which glove will last the longest.
