Intended Use
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.

- Heavy bag training
- Competition
