The Rival RS80V Impulse is a dedicated boxing sparring glove built to protect your hands and your partner round after round. The angled Ergo Strap locks your wrist in the position it actually punches from, which many boxers prefer for the extra support.
Key Features
- • Angled Ergo Strap System: The hook-and-loop (Velcro) strap is set at the natural angle of a closed fist. This locks the wrist in its punching position and keeps the closure secure through long sparring sessions.
- • Sparring-Specific Foam: Low-density, high-volume foam spreads impact across a wider area. This softens the punch on your partner and reduces the load coming back through your hands.
- • Super Resistant Microfibre Shell: The outer shell is built from a durable microfibre that holds up to regular sparring use. It resists scuffing and keeps its shape over time.
- • Pre-Curved Construction: The glove is shaped to a natural fist position out of the box. There is no long break-in period, and the curve helps you land cleaner shots that land flat on your partner.
- • Breathable Mesh Palm: Mesh panels across the palm let heat and moisture escape. The inside of the glove stays cooler and drier during long rounds.
- • Soft Internal Lining: A soft lining sits against the hand and wrist for a comfortable fit. It reduces friction when your hands are wrapped and damp with sweat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which weight should I choose for sparring, 14oz or 16oz? +
Most UK gyms require 16oz for sparring. If you are under 65kg, 14oz may be accepted depending on your coach and gym rules. The 16oz also offers more protection for your partner.
Are the Rival RS80V gloves good for heavy sparring? +
Yes. The RS80V is built specifically for sparring. The low-density, high-volume foam spreads impact across a wider area, which protects both your hands and your partner during harder rounds.
How does the Ergo Strap differ from a standard wrist closure? +
A standard hook-and-loop strap wraps straight across the wrist. The Ergo Strap is set at an angle that matches the wrist position used when throwing a punch. This holds the wrist in a stronger alignment on impact and helps reduce strain over long sessions.
