Material & technology

The RS100 combines Rival’s high-grade microfibre shell with a multi-layered foam core designed to dissipate impact forces evenly across the glove. Multiple foam densities work together to absorb impact efficiently while helping the glove retain its protective characteristics during prolonged use. The Wrist Lock 2™ system stabilises the wrist by securing the glove firmly around the joint, reducing unwanted movement during punches. The Dazzle Lining enhances comfort and maintains a smooth feel throughout long sparring sessions.

Who are these gloves for?

The RS100 is ideal for advanced boxers, competitive athletes and dedicated practitioners who train multiple times per week and require high-end sparring gloves. Thanks to their strong protection and wrist stability, they are suitable for technical kickboxing sparring where controlled partner drills and high-quality hand protection are required. For heavy bag training, bag gloves are recommended to reduce unnecessary wear on the multi-layered foam padding.
