The large cheekbone protectors provide extra coverage in one of the most vulnerable areas during sparren. They extend farther than standard headgear, helping absorb side and diagonal strikes more effectively.

By precisely adjusting the laces, boxing gloves, groinguards and headgear fit exactly as desired, enhancing comfort and stability during intense sessions.
+ Chin strap for a perfect fit

The Rival 100 Series Rubber Patch is the exclusive hallmark of the Rival 100 Series—the absolute top range of Rival Boxing Gear. The patch is made from high-quality rubber and features the Rival logo in relief, making this series’ premium positioning immediately visible.
The 100 Series includes the most advanced models produced by Rival—gloves and accessories developed for boxers who demand the very best. The rubber patch is not just a design element, but also a mark of quality: you know you’re holding a product from the exclusive top range.
+ Printed and embroidered Rival graphics

Rival products feature printed and embroidered graphics that enhance the brand’s premium look. The combination of printing and embroidery provides a finish that stays sharp—even after intensive use, sweat, and repeated washing.
While cheaper brands opt for simple stickers or surface prints that quickly fade, Rival invests in a durable graphic finish that keeps the product’s identity visible for the long term. A sign of quality that you truly appreciate after many hours of training.
+ Ergonomically shaped neoprene padding for the back of the head

Ergonomic neoprene padding at the back of the head provides a comfortable and stable fit during use.
The material conforms to the shape of the head and effectively absorbs impacts, enhancing overall protection and wearing comfort .

Why headgear is so important in martial arts

What size Rival headgear do I need?

Headgear usually comes in “standard” sizes, from XS to XL. This generally depends on your head circumference.

Each brand and model of headgear has a unique size chart (next to the size selection and at the bottom of the content). Here, we provide the best guideline we can on what we believe is the best choice for you for that specific model.

In borderline cases or if in doubt, we recommend choosing a larger size of headgear, as headgear that is too small will be very uncomfortable. However, do not choose a size that is too large, as you do not want it to shift around.
