***NOTE*** I MADE A MISTAKE IN THE VIDEO SAYING THESE GLOVES ARE ALL LEATHER CONSTRUCTION, I MEANT TO SAY ALL SYNTHETIC LEATHER CONSTRUCTION.

Nice looking gloves, but I wouldn't buy synthetic leather/vinyl.

[@ratethisgear]

+Ja ka you know i agree as well, but i have to say this synthetic seems pretty good. The evolution bag gloves completely fooled me, they are also synthetic but its very solid.

[@whodatboy7618]

Jake 19 these lasted me years, it’s a very good pu leather

I recently bought these directly from Rival, and I thought I share my impression here, as Rival will not post reviews that are less than 5 stars on their site (obviously). Not even sure why they bother asking for the feedback, if they are not intended to post it. Anyway... I bought 16oz gloves, and initially they were so tight that I had to put tennis and golf balls in order to make some room for the hands. They are quite compact, which I like, but it's a bit difficult to make a good fist in them. Maybe it make sense to go one size up, so maybe I should have bought 18oz, especially considering that the real weight of these are less than the nominal number (my 16oz weigh about 14.7oz). I thought they needed to be broken in, in order to fit better, so I used them on the bag, but even after a month of using them on the bag, they give me a lot of pain in the knuckles and especially in the wrists - so much that I had to take some time of the gym. I'm doing boxing for 7 years and my hands and wrists are generally well conditioned. I can work the heavy bag just wearing thin mittens, but not in these gloves. A few other things to note: 1) the thumb position feels great, but it's a bit protruding, and not as protected as in some other gloves, hitting an elbow can lead to an injury. 2) the padding is quite hard, it's actually very comparable to my Rival mexican bag gloves (which I love), maybe even slightly harder. I prefer softer gloves for sparring, in order to protect my sparring partner. For the same reason I don't by Reyes or any other mexican gloves for sparring, despite a very comfortable fit - they are great for the bag work, as well as for a fight, where you really want to hurt your opponent, but not for sparring. So, overall, despite great construction and material, I cannot recommend these gloves. I think there are much better sparring gloves out there, that cost same or even less.

I actually disagree, I been boxing for a long time along with mma training and I had these for about 5 years. My only issue was I found the thumb wasn’t quite long enough, but that’s totally a me issue. The glove has such good wrist support I used it with no wraps and never injured my wrist or hands ever while wearing them, including bag, pads, and sparring. They were very stiff at first but eventually they broke in and felt perfect, but I was never able to easily fully open my hands while wearing them. To each their own but I really love these gloves and only got new ones because mine were no longer suitable for sparring due to years of general training and bag work.

[@whodatboy7618]

Can I use these on the bags/pads as well?

[@DRsfAbbas]

THANKS ALOT BRO. I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS REVIEW. ALSO COULD YOU PLZ MENTION RIGHT OFF THE BACK WHICH RIVAL GLOVE IS "THE BEST OPTION" FOR HEAVY BAG WORK ? THANKS ALOT.

[@sniperdogz7658]

Mine arrived today and I’m sending them straight back they feel very cheap for the money I’m just going to get another pair of twins

[@xandergregor8292]

David woah what? I've had mine for 2 years and they're the best gloves I've ever worn. You should have tried them a bit, the wrist support is insane.

[@sniperdogz7658]

Alexander Gregory maybe they felt uncomfortable for me at the finger tips and wasn’t happy about synthetic bought another pair of twins 😁

[@josefgritzel7923]

Ive had most brands of gloves and rival in most departments especially durability beat them all.

[@2223-t7e]

They do feel like 14 oz glove wtf

[@valmirhajrizaj7694]

Have you them in 16 oz or what I’m looking to buy them

[@JoelTGM]

I have long fingers. Do you think finger length allowance for this glove is same as the rs10v? They look physically different so I'm just curious. On my twin's gloves my fingers are always pushing and stretching the leather at the end but I heard rivals are longer.

[@10oner]

I have long fingers and cant wear these gloves because of it. The older version of these hloves with the dual straps are perfect tho

[@Garreo100]

is a good gloves for a small hand? i need this because the wrist protection

[@Truchaslayer]

Im 200lb, should i buy the 18oz?

[@ratethisgear]

Yea why not

[@yohanespradono2976]

what happen once the velcro loses its stickiness?

[@whodatboy7618]

Yohanes Pradono can’t strap the glove well

[@cesarivansuarezgarza2333]

Review the new hayabusa kanpeki t3!!!

[@KaramAbdallah_]

Would you recommend these 18oz for bag work? Thank you!

[@raf8474]

They do come in 18oz

[@kivsa85]

Saying he price at the start of the video would be awsom.

[@ratethisgear]

+smootskin i used to mention price but sometimes it not accurate, depends where you get it

[@joshuaarmand5236]

Which ones do u like better between these and the optima sparring gloves by Rival

[@joshuaarmand5236]

To use on a double end bag and a aqua bag, which glove would u use

[@ratethisgear]

+Joshua Armand i like the optima better. All leather and i like the way they fit my hands. So overall id say optima

[@jesse5741]

How small is the hand compartment in comparison to other gloves you have reviewed? Would you say it's the smallest of all the 16 oz. gloves? I'm looking for a pair of sparring gloves with a small hand compartment.

[@ratethisgear]

+Jesse these gloves will fit a variety of hands. These gloves are not for people with smaller hands. They are compact but they are not designed to fit ppl with just small hands

[@jesse5741]

Thanks for the response. Is the hand compartment smaller or about the same as other 16 oz. gloves you have reviewed?

[@ratethisgear]

+Jesse its tighter then some of the others. But thats all based on my hands. I can say between optima and evolution, the evolution is tighter

[@melvsta1]

What is the exact model of gloves again ?

[@Barrychuckle666]

melvin mandingiado rs11v

[@thetruththerealtruth2513]
