Bottom Line
The S4 beats the S5 - same genuine cowhide price bracket but with gel palm + EVA wrist system for more complete protection. Best cheap leather sparring glove RDX makes.
Strong price-to-performance for its tier.

Intended Use
Who This Glove Is For
The RDX S4 Sparring Gloves step up from the S5 with an upgraded padding system - adding EVA-LUTION foam slabs in the palm and a gel shock-absorbent sheet at both palm and wrist, providing more complete hand and wrist protection. Still built with genuine cowhide leather at just $32.99, WAKO approved for sparring, with small ventilation holes and an antibacterial microfiber wicking lining for hygiene. The TAKA Duo elastic hook-and-loop strap provides wrist alignment and support. Community consensus rates the S4 above the S5 for overall protection quality and durability, making it the better pick of the two if available.
