Headgear Rival RHG2 Hybrid Blue

Specific features

• + Microfiber lining for comfort

  The microfiber lining is soft, breathable, and comfortable against the skin. The material absorbs moisture during training and dries quickly, keeping the gear fresh and preventing irritation—even during prolonged use. is zacht, ademend en aangenaam tegen de huid. Het materiaal absorbeert vocht tijdens de training en droogt snel, waardoor de gear fris blijft en irritatie wordt voorkomen - ook bij langdurig gebruik.

• + Multi-layer foam padding headgear

  The multi-layer foam padding in this headgear consists of multiple foam layers, each with its own function. The outer layer absorbs the initial impact, the middle layer distributes the force over a larger surface area, and the inner layer provides comfort and a secure fit around the head.

  This layered approach offers better protection than a single foam layer—the force of a punch is gradually reduced before it reaches the head. Essential for anyone who spars regularly and takes their brain health seriously.

• + Reversed double hook-and-loop straps

  The reverse double hook-and-loop straps provide secure and precisely adjustable fastening of the headgear. Due to the reversed placement of the hook-and-loop fastener, the straps lie flat against the head without protruding edges that could cause irritation or come loose on contact.

  The double construction distributes tension across two points, keeping the headgear securely in place—even when subjected to hard blows from the side or above. Quick to adjust, even while wearing boxing gloves.

• + Premium-quality leather

  Leather is the material that made the boxing world what it is—and for good reason. Premium-quality leather molds to the hand, becomes more supple with use, and with proper care lasts through many hours of training without losing its shape or firmness.

  While synthetic materials can peel or harden over time, high-quality leather retains its character. It feels different—fuller, more authentic—and you notice it in every training session. For athletes who refuse to compromise on their equipment.

• + Chin strap for a perfect fit

  A strap under the chin provides a secure and precisely adjustable attachment for the headgear.

  The strap prevents shifting during intense sessions and ensures that the headgear always remains in the correct position .

• + Lace-up closure for a custom fit

  A lace-up closure offers a fully adjustable fit that adapts to the individual user.

  By precisely adjusting the laces, boxing gloves, groinguards and headgear fit exactly as desired, enhancing comfort and stability during intense sessions.

• + 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.

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 equipment available. 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 Hybrid Design

The Rival Hybrid Design combines the best of both worlds: the maximum field of vision and light weight of a competition headgear, combined with the cheek protectors normally found only on traditional training headgear.

The result is headgear that gives you optimal vision while sparren, fully protects your face, and is so lightweight that you barely notice it. Ideal for boxers who want the protection of training headgear without feeling like they are sparren with a bucket on their head.
