The Rival RS80V Impulse Sparring Gloves are built around one purpose: safer, more consistent sparring. Rival's reputation for technical glove construction is reflected throughout the RS80V — from the low-density foam padding designed to absorb impact without excessive force transfer, to the angled Ergo Strap system that locks the wrist in position round after round. If you train regularly and take sparring seriously, the Rival Impulse sparring gloves are a considered choice backed by genuine craft.
Construction & Materials
The RS80V is constructed from durable microfibre, offering the structure of leather with improved resistance to surface wear over heavy training cycles. The padding uses low-density, high-volume foam — a configuration that prioritises partner safety by spreading and absorbing impact across a wider surface area. Rival's angled hook-and-loop Ergo Strap System is engineered to support the wrist at a natural angle, reducing movement and providing stable alignment on contact. Breathable mesh palm panels manage moisture and accelerate drying between sessions, while the soft internal lining adds comfort during extended wear.
Who Is This For?
The RS80V suits intermediate to advanced boxers who spar regularly and want a glove built specifically for that purpose rather than a general-use training option. It performs well across weight classes and fits boxers who prioritise wrist security and partner protection in technical sparring. Fighters who have read RS80V Impulse sparring gloves reviews consistently highlight the Ergo Strap and the quality of the padding as key reasons for choosing this glove. Available in multiple colourways including black, navy, aqua, and grey, there is an option to suit most gym preferences.

The Rival RS11V Evolution Sparring Gloves are one of Rival's most established sparring options, built for boxers who train hard and expect their equipment to keep up. Constructed from super-rich microfibre PU, the RS11V Evolution delivers exceptional durability alongside genuine hand and partner protection. With extra-thick 50mm multi-layered foam padding and Rival's AirFlow Control System, these gloves are engineered for regular, demanding sparring sessions rather than occasional pad work.
Construction & Materials
The RS11V Evolution uses a super-rich microfibre PU shell, a material chosen for its resistance to surface wear and its close-to-leather feel over extended use. The padding system runs to an extra-thick 50mm of multi-layered foam, providing the kind of impact absorption that protects both your hands and your sparring partner across extended rounds. Rival's AirFlow Control System is integrated into the design to manage heat and moisture, keeping hands cooler and more comfortable during long sessions. The hook-and-loop velcro closure delivers a firm, adjustable wrist fit.
Who Is This For?
The RS11V Evolution suits intermediate to advanced boxers who spar regularly and need a glove that prioritises protection without sacrificing feel. Available in 14oz and 16oz, it covers most weight classes and training contexts — 14oz works well for lighter boxers in technical sparring, while 16oz is the standard choice for heavier fighters and most gym sparring protocols. If you train at a dedicated boxing club and put in multiple sparring sessions per week, the RS11V Evolution is built for that workload. It is also a strong choice for coaches looking to recommend a durable, reputable sparring glove to club members.

The Rival RJR11 Alu Grip Speed Rope is one of the most capable boxing skipping ropes in Rival's training equipment range. The 10-foot PVC-covered steel cable turns with minimal resistance, giving you the kind of consistent, fast rotation that serious skipping demands. Whether you are building rhythm, conditioning, or working on double-unders, the RJR11 handles it without the drag or snag of a basic rope.
Construction & Materials
The cable is steel, wrapped in a PVC coating that protects it from floor contact and extends its working life. At the core of the aluminium handles sit internal bearings that allow the rope to rotate independently of your grip — this is what separates a proper speed rope from a standard skipping rope. Length adjustment is handled by pushing in at the mouth of the handle to release and reposition the cable, making it quick to set the right length for your height without tools or fuss.
Who Is This For?
The RJR11 suits boxers of any level who want a speed rope that performs without maintenance headaches. It works equally well for the intermediate club boxer building their warm-up routine and the experienced fighter drilling high-cadence skipping sessions. The adjustable cable means it suits a wide range of heights, making it a practical option for coaches equipping a gym with versatile boxing skipping ropes. If you currently use a basic PVC rope and want a genuine upgrade in speed and smoothness, this is the natural next step.

The Rival RB5 Bag Mitts are designed for one purpose: fast, powerful bag work that feels as close to bare-knuckle as training allows. Built from premium cowhide leather with just 5mm of EVA padding, the RB5 strips away the bulk of conventional bag gloves to give you zero resistance and maximum feedback on every strike. If you are serious about developing speed and power on the heavy bag, the RB5 is the mitt Rival built for that job.
Construction & Materials
The RB5 is constructed from premium cowhide leather, chosen for its durability and natural resistance to wear from repeated bag contact. The 5mm EVA foam padding is deliberately ultra-thin — enough to protect the knuckles during heavy sessions without dampening the tactile feedback that serious bag work demands. A ventilated palm keeps airflow moving through extended rounds, reducing heat and moisture build-up. The overall build is lightweight and close-fitting, designed to trigger fast-twitch muscle response rather than absorb impact like a traditional training glove.
Who Is This For?
The Rival RB5 suits intermediate to advanced boxers who prioritise speed and punching mechanics over cushioning. It is the right choice for fighters who do structured heavy bag rounds and want gear that reinforces proper technique rather than masking poor form. Available in S, M, L, and XL, the sizing accommodates a wide range of hand sizes — check the Rival RB5 bag mitts size chart before ordering if you are between sizes. These mitts are strictly for bag and pad work and must never be used for sparring. They are a strong pick for conditioning work, fast combination drilling, and fighters who want that bare-fist feel in training.

The Rival RGB20 Gym Bag is Rival's compact carryall for fighters who want a reliable, lightweight bag without unnecessary bulk. Built from RipStop polyester with reinforced carry handles and an adjustable padded shoulder strap, it handles the daily commute to training without breaking down. At 60 x 30 x 30 cm, the RGB20 sits neatly between a basic kit bag and a full-sized sports bag — enough room for your fight gear without the weight of a larger holdall.
Construction & Materials
The RGB20 is constructed from RipStop polyester, a woven fabric engineered to resist tearing and abrasion — the same material class used in technical outdoor gear. Zippered pockets on the front and sides keep smaller items accessible without digging through the main compartment, which opens via a full-length zip across the top. Carry handles are reinforced at the attachment points for strong, reliable lifting, while the adjustable shoulder strap includes padding for comfort during longer carries. Printed Rival logos finish the design cleanly.
Who Is This For?
The Rival RGB20 suits boxers and fighters who train regularly and want a gym bag that keeps things simple and durable. It's a practical choice for anyone travelling to and from a boxing club several times a week with gloves, handwraps, shorts, and a mouthguard. The compact dimensions work well for those who commute by public transport or need a bag that fits under a seat or in a locker. Coaches sometimes use it as a second bag for pads and smaller training kit. If you already own the larger RGB10, the RGB20 makes a solid companion bag for lighter sessions.

The Rival RPM80 Impulse Punch Mitts are designed for coaches and trainers who prioritise accuracy and feel over brute padding. Rival engineered the RPM80 specifically around a smaller punching surface to sharpen a boxer's targeting, paired with soft, low-density foam that delivers that coveted broken-in sensation without months of bedding in. For anyone serious about mitt work, these are boxing pads built around the training experience rather than an afterthought.
Construction & Materials
The RPM80 is constructed from Rival's Super Resistant Microfibre, a synthetic material chosen for its durability and resistance to surface wear under repeated impact. The punching surface uses soft, low-density foam padding specifically tuned to give a responsive, cushioned feel that encourages clean technique without deadening feedback. An ultra-breathable mesh panel covers the hand area to manage heat and moisture during extended pad rounds. A padded finger protector adds coach comfort, reducing fatigue and strain across long training sessions. The ultra-soft interior lining completes a construction that prioritises the holder's experience as much as the boxer's.
Who Is This For?
The RPM80 suits boxing coaches, trainers, and dedicated pad holders working with developing fighters at club or gym level. The compact punching surface makes it particularly effective for coaches focused on sharpening a boxer's accuracy and combination speed — if your fighters need tightening up on targeting, these mitts enforce precision. They work equally well for amateur boxing coaches running technical sessions and fitness trainers delivering pad rounds to recreational boxers. The breathable mesh and padded finger guard make them a sensible choice for coaches holding high volumes of rounds across the week.

It is the kind of glove serious boxers return to when they need reliability in the ring.
Construction & Materials
The RS100 is built around Rival's Super Rich Microfibre shell, which resists surface wear across extended training cycles. Inside, layered foam padding provides structured impact absorption — firm enough to disperse heavy shots, compliant enough for controlled technical sparring. A soft foamy cloth lining sits against the hand, with a breathable part-mesh palm that improves ventilation during long rounds. The Ergonomic True-Fist Construction positions the hand in a natural closed-fist shape, reducing strain on the knuckles and wrist during extended sessions. The hook-and-loop velcro closure delivers a wide, adjustable wrist wrap.
Who Is This For?
The RS100 suits intermediate to advanced boxers who spar regularly and need a glove that holds its shape session after session. It works across a wide weight range — the sizing system accounts for body weight rather than just glove oz, making it particularly useful for fighters looking to match glove size to their frame. Whether you are a club boxer building sparring volume or a competitive amateur logging serious ring time, the RS100 provides the padding depth and construction quality that serious sparring demands. Fighters who have outgrown entry-level gloves will find this a natural step up.

Construction & Materials

Inside, 15mm of medium density EVA foam absorbs and distributes impact force efficiently across the 180-degree protective surface. A comfortable inner lining sits against the body to reduce friction and irritation during extended rounds.

Construction & Materials
The RPM100 is constructed from Rival's Super Rich Microfibre PU, a premium synthetic material chosen for durability and surface consistency across extended use.

Whether you're holding pads for a hard-hitting beginner or a seasoned amateur, the RPM3 delivers the durability and comfort that Rival's boxing equipment is known for.
Construction & Materials
The RPM3 Air Punch Mitts 2.0 are constructed from super rich, super light microfibre PU — a material that resists surface wear while keeping the overall weight of the mitt down. Inside, 2.5 inches of thick inner foam padding works alongside Rival's proprietary Air Cushion System to absorb and redistribute punch impact, significantly reducing the strain on wrists and knuckles over long pad sessions. An inner catcher's mitt grip keeps the pad stable in hand, while breathable mesh lining manages heat and moisture build-up during training.
Who Is This For?
The RPM3 Air Punch Mitts 2.0 suit boxing coaches, personal trainers, and experienced corner men who hold pads regularly and need reliable hand protection. The air cushion technology makes them particularly well-suited to coaches working with heavy-handed fighters, where standard boxing pads begin to break down or cause hand fatigue.

Construction & Materials
The RFX-Guerrero HDE-F is constructed with a premium quality leather outer shell, chosen for its durability and ability to hold its shape through sustained use.

Construction & Materials
The RFX-Guerrero SF-H is built from premium full-grain leather, chosen for its durability and tight surface integrity across repeated bouts and training cycles. Inside, a combination of firm foam and horsehair padding creates a two-layer system that absorbs impact while returning precise feedback — essential for fighters who need to know exactly how their shots land. The ergonomically contoured shell follows the natural curve of a clenched fist, reducing dead space and improving knuckle alignment.

The Rival RFX-Guerrero-V Bag Gloves in HDE-F configuration are handcrafted from premium cowhide leather and built specifically for bag and pad work. Where most bag gloves compromise on either shell quality or padding protection, the Guerrero-V delivers both — Rival's HDE-F multi-layered foam system sits inside a full leather exterior that holds its shape through extended training cycles. If you train regularly on the heavy bag and expect your equipment to keep up, these gloves are built for that.
Construction & Materials
The RFX-Guerrero-V HDE-F is constructed from premium quality cowhide leather, chosen for its durability and resistance to surface wear across heavy training use. The defining feature is Rival's HDE-F padding system — a unique combination of layered foam that provides structured impact absorption across the knuckle zone. This multi-layered approach distributes force more evenly than single-density foam, reducing hand fatigue during long bag rounds. The glove is handcrafted, with close attention to stitching integrity at the thumb attachment and seam lines where bag gloves typically show wear first.
Who Is This For?
The RFX-Guerrero-V HDE-F suits intermediate to advanced boxers who spend serious time on the heavy bag and want a leather glove that performs beyond the entry-level bracket. Available in 8oz and 10oz, they are sized for focused bag and pad work rather than sparring, making them a strong choice for fighters who keep a dedicated pair for technical training.

The Rival RHG2 Hybrid Headgear is one of Rival's most versatile pieces of boxing headgear, designed to bridge the gap between open-face and full-coverage protection. Built from mild-grain leather with a microfibre inner lining, the RHG2 uses a three-point adjustment system — roller buckle chin strap, classic lace-top, and reverse double hook-and-loop straps — to deliver a precise, secure fit across a wide range of head sizes. For boxers who train regularly and demand reliable head protection, the RHG2 is a consistent choice.
Construction & Materials
The RHG2 shell is constructed from mild-grain leather, chosen for its balance of durability and flexibility under repeated striking. The interior features a soft, supple suede leather liner that is water-resistant and comfortable against the skin during extended rounds. Multi-layer padding sits beneath the shell to distribute impact across the cheeks, brow, and crown. The reduced-profile ear design improves sound awareness in the ring. The three-point closure — roller buckle chin strap, classic lace-top crown adjustment, and reverse double hook-and-loop rear straps — allows independent control over fit at each point of contact.
Who Is This For?
The RHG2 suits intermediate to advanced boxers who spar regularly and need headgear that holds its position through fast exchanges. The hybrid design — offering more coverage than a standard open-face guard but better visibility than a full-cage model — makes it a practical choice for club sparring, technical sessions, and competitive preparation. Fighters who have reviewed the RHG2 consistently highlight the secure three-point fit as a key advantage over single-strap alternatives. It works across weight classes and is available in black and white colourways.

The Rival Body Protector — known as The Shield — is built for coaches and trainers who take serious punishment in the gym. Constructed from industrial-quality synthetic PU and packed with over four inches of layered shock-absorbing padding, it sits at the top end of boxing body protectors designed for daily heavy use. Whether you're working combinations with developing fighters or absorbing big shots from advanced boxers, The Shield is engineered to minimise feel without limiting pad work.
Construction & Materials
The outer shell uses industrial-quality synthetic rich PU selected for durability under the most demanding training schedules. Inside, Rival has layered polyurethane, EVA, and high-density foam to a depth exceeding four inches — approximately 20cm of combined shock absorption. This multi-layer construction dissipates impact across the full surface of the body belt rather than concentrating force at a single point. The result is a boxing body shield that absorbs heavy punches with minimal feel, protecting the torso through extended pad rounds.
Who Is This For?
The Rival Body Protector is the choice of serious boxing coaches, corner trainers, and experienced pad holders who work with hard-hitting fighters day in, day out.
