Headgear Rival RHG10 Intelli-Shock White

The Rival RHG10 Intelli-Shock is the result of 2 years of research and developmentin collaboration with professional boxers and athletes. The distinguishing feature is the Rival d3O™ Intelli-Shock technology— smart padding that adapts to impact and provides superior shock absorption. Made of high-quality leather with a microfiber lining,large cheekbone protectors and an ergonomic back-of-head protector for full head coverage.

Rival Boxing Gear was founded in Canada in the early 2000s and has since experienced steady growth in the world of martial arts, with a focus on classic boxing. The company was founded by Russ Anber, a prominent name in the boxing world.

Anber, a respected boxing trainer and coach, had deep knowledge of what fighters needed to improve their skills and excel in the ring. With this background and expertise, he aimed to produce high-quality gear that would meet the needs of fighters.

Intelli-Shock D3O™ is the best shock-absorbing padding in the world.

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 about a quarter inch (6 mm) or an eighth inch (3 mm) of Intelli-Shock padding as with about 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 lock together to form an excellent shock absorber. D3O™ provides significantly more protection than conventional foams, making it the perfect solution to enhance the internal protection of equipment and accessories.

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

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

Wipe the leather exterior after each training with a damp cloth and let the headgear air out in a dry place — never store it directly in a sports bag. The microfiber lining can be cleaned with a mild cleaner. Regularly treat the leather with a leather conditioner and keep the headgear out of direct sunlight.

The RHG10 has a two-part closure system: an adjustable lace closure at the top for the basic fit and a hook & loop (Velcro) closure for quick adjustment. Astrap under the chin ensures a stable, secure fit during sparren. The padding at the closure on the back of the head also protects this vulnerable area.
