Sparring-Specific Foam:
Low-density moulded foam is used for this sparring model. Choose the correct glove weight and follow your coach or gym's rules for partner work.
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.
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.
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
Which weight should I choose for sparring?
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 required weight is not listed here, choose another sparring model offered in that weight. Never use 8oz, 10oz or 12oz for adult sparring.
Are the Rival RS80V gloves designed for sparring?
Yes. Rival makes the RS80V as a sparring glove with low-density moulded foam. Its intended use does not make every available weight suitable for every boxer. Follow the adult weight guidance above and your coach or gym's requirements.
How does the Ergo Strap fasten?
The RS80V uses Rival's angled Ergo Strap hook-and-loop closure. You can adjust and fasten it yourself; check the fit with your usual hand wraps.
