Intended Use
Who This Glove Is For
The RDX S5 Sparring Gloves are an exceptional value proposition - genuine cowhide leather sparring gloves at just $30.99. WAKO approved for kickboxing and sparring use, they feature low-density Max-Shock foam padding designed for safer sparring with a partner, complemented by a Gel-X shock-absorbent palm lining. A ventilation mesh system helps expel heat, and an anti-microbial inner lining manages sweat and odor. The ergo-cut hook-and-loop fastener with elastic band provides secure wrist support. At this price, genuine cowhide construction is rare - the S5 is one of the best value leather sparring options available.
