The RS100 uses layered foam padding in a glove designed for sparring.
Super Rich Microfibre Shell:
Rival's microfibre outer shell is paired with a soft foamy cloth lining.
Angled Lace Track System:
The lace-up fastening allows adjustment around the wrist. You need help to tie and secure the laces before training.
Sparring-Specific Build:
Designed exclusively for partner work, with a padding profile tuned to spread impact rather than concentrate it.
Handcrafted Construction:
Rival describes the RS100 as handcrafted, with printed and embroidered graphics.
Choosing a Sparring Weight:
Choose the weight required for your body weight and your coach or gym's rules. A size being listed here does not make it suitable for your sparring session.
Which Weight Should I Choose?
Choose your sparring glove weight using your body weight and your coach or gym's requirements. This table covers adult sparring; junior boxers need coach-led guidance. Never use 8oz, 10oz or 12oz gloves for adult sparring. A listed weight does not make it suitable for your session. If you need 18oz and it is not listed here, choose a sparring model offered in that weight.

Product questions
How does the RS100 differ from the RS80V?
The RS100 has a lace-up Angled Lace Track System and layered foam padding. The RS80V has an Ergo Strap hook-and-loop fastening and low-density moulded foam. The RS100 needs help with the laces; the RS80V is easier to fasten yourself.
Does every listed RS100 weight suit adult sparring?
No. For adults below 90kg, 16oz is standard; adults under 65kg may use 14oz only where their coach or gym permits it. At 90kg and above, 18oz is standard, subject to coach or gym requirements. If the weight you need is not listed here, choose a sparring model offered in that weight.
Are these gloves designed for regular sparring?
Yes. The RS100 is a lace-up sparring model. Follow your coach's session plan and glove-weight requirements, have the laces secured before training and check the gloves' condition before use.
