The Crown Jewel! The glove that started it all! The RS1 is the crown jewel of our line and the true Rival Original on which the company was founded. Manufactured with a new, ultra-resistant, upgraded outside Microfibre, this improved RS1 version continues to offer the performance, durability and quality that you have come to know for over 15 years. The RS1 has also been refreshed with a new look to mark the new generation of this glove. As it has been since the beginning, the RS1 Ultra Sparring Glove is the pinnacle of a professional sparring glove. From its inception, this glove has been designed with the professional in mind, and is still the pro’s choice. This unique and original innovation not only offered a new and dynamic way of designing and manufacturing gloves, it also provided the perfect “lace-up” to offer the best fit and stability. The Angled Track has become the distinctive, signature look of Rival across our entire line. The RS1 sparring glove is the perfect mix of comfort, protection, professional performance and industrial durability.
