The (Short) History of Rival Boxing Gear

What does Intelli-Shock D3O™ mean?

Intelli-Shock D3O™ is the world’s best shock-absorbing padding. ter wereld.

Rival Boxing Gear was the first, and is currently the only, company in the boxing or MMA world to use it.

How effective is Intelli-Shock? You get the same protection with approximately one-quarter inch (6 mm) or one-eighth inch (3 mm) of Intelli-Shock padding as with approximately one inch (25 mm) of other padding. This is because it uses Intelligent Shock Absorption™, a patented shock-absorbing material developed with Intelligent Molecules.

At low speeds, the molecules in D3O™ flow freely, making it soft and flexible, while at high speeds, the molecules come together to form an excellent shock absorber. D3O™ provides significantly more protection than conventional foams, making it the perfect solution for improving the internal protection of equipment and accessories.

The Rival RB10 Intelli-Shock bag gloves, which use this technology, become harder on contact and not only reduce the amount of energy transferred to the body by 40%*. This means there is a drastic reduction in impact stress, while the glove is also approximately 38% lighter than regular gel-technology bag gloves available on the market.

D3O® is an innovative material with extreme shock absorption! Unlike other cushioning materials, D3O® maintains its durable performance throughout the lifetime of, for example, boxing gloves. It is also used in protective clothing for defense and extreme sports, such as ice hockey.
