Product details
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. If you train three or more times per week and want headgear built from quality leather rather than synthetic materials, the RHG2 is a strong option.

FAQ
The Rival RHG2 is a hybrid-style boxing headgear that combines mild-grain leather construction with multi-layer padding and a three-point adjustment system. It sits between an open-face and full-coverage guard, offering more cheek and brow protection than a standard open-face design whilst maintaining good visibility. It is part of Rival's core headgear range and is used for club and competitive sparring.
The RHG2 uses three independent adjustment points: a roller buckle on the chin strap, a classic lace-top adjustment at the crown, and reverse double hook-and-loop straps at the rear. This combination allows you to dial in a precise fit rather than relying on a single closure, which helps the headgear stay in place during sparring.
The RHG2 is a hybrid headgear without a fixed nose bar or full cage. Rival's range includes other models such as the RHG20 and RHG30 for those who require additional nose or face bar protection. The RHG2's reduced ear design and hybrid cheek coverage provide solid protection for regular sparring without obstructing vision.
The RHG2 sits within Rival's headgear lineup as a hybrid option — offering more face coverage than an open-face guard but less than a full cage model. The three-point adjustment system on the RHG2 is a distinguishing feature that provides a more customisable fit than many competing headgear designs at a similar level.
