Product details
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.

FAQ
Sparring gloves should prioritise partner safety and wrist support over raw punching performance. The Rival RS80V Impulse uses low-density, high-volume foam specifically designed to reduce force transfer to your training partner. The angled Ergo Strap also keeps your wrist stable, which reduces injury risk during sustained sparring rounds.
Rival has built a strong reputation through consistent attention to construction detail — particularly in areas like wrist support, foam engineering, and ergonomic fit. The RS80V Impulse reflects this with its Ergo Strap system and purpose-built padding configuration. Fighters and coaches trust Rival because the gloves perform reliably across long training cycles rather than degrading quickly.
The RS80V is designed for regular sparring use, with low-density foam that distributes impact across a wider surface area to protect both hands and training partners. The Ergo Strap provides firm wrist stability, which is especially important in harder sparring sessions. For very heavy contact sparring, many fighters pair the RS80V with quality hand wraps for additional support.
