RIVAL Boxing RB11 Evolution Heavy Bag Gloves, with a High-Density, Power-Transmitting Foam and Microfiber Outer

Great quality as with any Rival gloves. The only difference here is that you should push a little bit to form a fist, but not like in Twins gloves, where you must push hard. Don't think it's an issue, many manufacturers do that. However, some people don't like that. The actual weak point is the stitched logo on the glove. It will be destroyed very quickly. Some stitchings began to break after the first training session. In addition, I didn't find any noticeable advantages of the Wrist Lock 2 system. In my opinion, the old Ergo Strap system fixes the wrist much better, despite it being less convenient when putting on a glove.

This is only my second pair of gloves, so I cannot compare them to many other models. I used cheap gloves from a popular brand for a couple of years. But now, the beginner mode is fading away, and I felt I needed an upgrade.The first thing I noticed was the fact that I can punch harder, without the risk and fear of injuries. Just like I've read in many reviews, the wrist support is great. I feel that my wrists are tight and secured, which also has a psychological effect. They feel extremely comfortable and, with proper wrapping or gel gloves underneath, I can go crazy with that bag, as much as I want. Not feeling worried and exploring my full strength is even giving me extra motivation to hit the gym.The built quality is impressive. On the outside, the leather feels premium and it looks like it's going to last a very long time. On the inside, the material also feels good and, as mentioned before, it's very comfortable. The only thing to point out is that they are wetter from perspiration after a workout than my previous gloves. I workout in the morning, before work, so they have to stay in the gym bag all day, before I get home. That worried me in the first couple of weeks, but filling them with newspaper right after the workout does the trick. And when I get home, I let them breathe on the balcony. It's been more than 20 bag sessions and they still smell and feel like new.I didn't try many gloves so far, but I don't believe bag gloves can get much better than this.

This is my second pair of these gloves, still have the first pair and still in great shape , but wanted a second pair just in case the first pair didn't make it after near constant use over an period of nearly two years of working the heavy bag three to four times a week. Keep in mind that like most gloves these will take a little time to break in for a comfortable fit especially win wearing your hand wraps but the more you use them the better they get!

Really great gloves. I recommend these or any Rival gloves with Wrist-Lock 2 for people with bad wrists or heavy punchers who need extra wrist support. You get a solid, rigid lock on your wrists thanks to the Wrist-Lock 2 extending up to your lower palm and down the wrist. The hand compartment is perfect, very comfortable. Your hands slip right in even with wraps on. The gloves feel very balanced on your hands and impacts feel just right. I've had the problem with gloves before where the padding is too rounded and punches feel off, but these don't have that problem whatsoever. I'm comparing these to Hayabusa Ikusa Charger gloves which have the double lock that the Hayabusa T3s have. For me, the Rival RB11s win on wrist support and bag performance.

have been using these for about 2 wks now. about 1 hour of heavy bag work, approx 3-4 times a week. I think they need some more time to break in, as my thumb has been getting a little numb after an hour of hard hitting (although, it has been less and less each time). The foam should mold to my hand (custom fit . . . like a glove). Otherwise, very well made, nice mesh palm, easy to strap on. I previously had the rb20 bag gloves with the double d strap. These were great bag gloves, but a pain in the arse to get on and off. These are a much needed upgrade!as far as superior wrist support . . . I guess it works. I don't really have wrist issues and I wrap my hands/wrists fairly well, so I guess I can't really comment on this marketing scheme. Either way, they are well cushioned for any heavy hitter!

Very comfortable hand compartment, but the thumb is super tight. It should break in as I had the same problem with my last pair of Boons and now their perfect. follow the sizes given by Rival, I should have gone for a large instead of an XL but the extra protection is important to me. Sweat takes some time to evaporate out of the glove, but it will be ready to go after 15 hours or so without using a fan or cedar filled socks. Does a great job or forcing you to align your arm and fist to use good form, otherwise it will be uncomfortable. Exactly what a bag glove should do; promotes good form but also protects the hand from impact.

These are some top-notch bag gloves! I upgraded from the Rival Fitness Bag Gloves, RB40. These are substantially better in both fit, feel and overall performance! I really like the improved Wrist Lock! It firmly secures my wrist into place without feeling too restrictive. The inner lining (3D Mesh) is also quite impressive. At no point during my 1.5 hour long sessions on the heavy bag and double end bag, did my hands feel too warm or begin to get too sweaty. The construction and materials of these gloves are great, and I really like the color scheme. I've developed quicker hands over the past year or so, and I was looking into a pair of gloves to accommodate my improved performance. I'm glad I stuck with Rival, and I can officially say I'll be a customer for the foreseeable future!

Amazing gloves! Lots of hand protection and looks stylish. The wrist support is great for support and the material of it is similar to that of a seatbelt so you’re not gonna rip it off by mistake (like I did with my last gloves)
