RIVAL Boxing RB5 Bag Mitt Gloves, Bare-Fist Punching Feel, Zero Resistance Training for Triggering Fast Twitch Muscles

Quality was much higher than expected, they are very well made. Threw the Everlast mma gloves I was using for light bag work right in the garbage, these are so much better. They run quite large, a fairlyaverage 8" to 9" hand circumference, measured around the palm and knuckles with an open hand, will be swimming in a small, but that's sort of the design. Your hand grips like a rubber core around where the ringers wrap, which acts almost like a little fist load, and the wrist support is much more robust than I thought it would be. Hard shots sounded like firecrackers going off, and felt zero pain. If you're using full wraps, maybe size up one. I know it's generally not advisable, but I got a size to fit to use without wraps and I felt perfectly fine, no finger swelling or any of that wrist soreness. If you're on the same fools errand as me and risking some old school bag glove work to train proper alignment and so forth, these are a bullseye. Will update rating if they crap out later, or don't break in well, but day one, these are bomb.

This is a great product. I have been using heavyweight bags for over 30 years. I have several types of gloves and I like these because they are lighter weight and I can feel the bag better. I am extremely happy with this product and would rebuy it again.

Been looking for gloves to hit the heavy bag with for years. These are perfect.

Great gloves and have held up really well. Felt improvement in punching technique and accuracy as it forces me to throw with smart intentions. If I throw or swing too wildly it does hurt the wrist but I believe that is what makes it great. Only use them for hitting the bags. My knuckles and wrists feel stronger and I feel more pop when I use other gloves or spar. Only downside is that the length is a bit too short or not long enough for my fingers, so I have curl or grave my fingers into the gloves a bit. However width size is perfect. If the length size was good for my hands it would’ve been a 5.

Amazing how much stronger my hands are after 3 to 4 weeks of using these . By bag is pretty solid and no longer hurts to hit it. These have helped correct my punch mechanics since I now can feel where my knuckles contact...much preferred for bag work over my 16oz fairtex gloves.

Very glad I purchased this. Great too to learn how to hit better. Quality is better than Everlast. Get these now!!!

These run big and can be used with or without wraps. I recommend rival wraps to compliment the gloves. Great fitting & feel!

I have nothing to fault on these gloves. They are better than any mitts I’ve ever used. I could nitpick but at $44 it would be unreasonable. These beat my Reyes mitts in every aspect (other than stitching quality). The Reyes mitts are $120. The feel and protection these offer is astounding. I can hit full force with no discomfort at all. In fact the harder you hit with these the better they feel. Please change nothing about these. I will purchase again when the pair I have wear out.
