Anyone have some gloves from them? They gloves look pretty nice, but are they durable and comfortable? Compared to other brands, how are they?

I'm thinking of getting the RB20 or RB1, but somewhere i read that the RB20 are cheaply made. And im worried the RB1s mesh will begin to tear.


Thanks.

I honestly dont have any experience using their product. However, they have been used in pro fights already, so I would think the quality is up to par.

Here's a thread on Rival gear:

as a matter of personal choice, they look to fancy, too "trying hard to be technical for me"...

that was an opinion based on looks and not on me actually having the chance to use them

i guess i like the old school look with a modern twist on materials and form

Well, I think they look good. I mean they're fancy, then there's the oldschool plain.
But just because they look nice, doesn't mean they're good.

Hm, what gloves do you guys recommend/use?

i use the ringside IMF tech:
IMF Tech™ Training Gloves - Elastic Cuff at Ringside.com

the KO fight gear boxing/sparring glove:
Sparring Gloves - KO Fightgear

and the fairtex bag glove (not for sparring)
Fairtex - Muay Thai Bag Gloves

The IMF Tech gloves are awesome. I just picked up a pair of the Title Gel 12oz gloves and they are very nice as well. They run a little small though. I think looking back I should have stuck with the IMF's as I really liked them.

As far as the Rival gloves go, I spoke with a buddy at the gym yesterday who uses them. He says that he realy likes them, and that they're comfortable. But I cant say anything yet as to the durability as they are relatively new. They looked and felt well manufactured and the materials looked pretty good.
I agree with the post above though about them looking a bit too flashy.

I have been using the RB3 bag glove for over a year now. Ususally twice a week and they hardly show any wear.

I also have the 8x5 speed bag and its solid. No lost air, loose threads ....
I can't say the same for the everlast double end bag I have.

I use their "ultimate bag glove" I throw 2000 or more punches a day (heavyweight) 6 days a week and a pair will last me a year, If lighter hitter used them more for fitness they would last a lot longer - very comfortable/breathable.
