Bottom Line

Top-tier padding depth in a Velcro package - the RS2V 2.0 is widely regarded as Rival's best value sparring glove. 40mm of foam, strong wrist strap, and microfiber durability make it a smart pick for regular sparring partners.

Strong price-to-performance for its tier.

Intended Use

Sparring Velcro Padding: 40mm+ multi-layered conic foam (ultra-resistant microfiber shell)

Who This Glove Is For

The Rival RS2V Super Sparring Gloves 2.0 pack over 40mm of multi-layered foam padding into an ultra-resistant microfiber shell, making them one of the most protective Velcro sparring gloves in Rival's lineup. The Ergo Strap Xtreme system provides strong wrist support through Rival's angled hook-and-loop closure, while the conic design aligns the wrist at 15 degrees for a natural, comfortable punching position. The microfiber material is engineered to outlast traditional leather with less maintenance. Rival recommends 10–20 rounds of bag work before using these in sparring to break in the layered foam system.

  • Boxers who prefer genuine leather
  • Heavy bag training
  • Competition
