The construction and features on this glove are outstanding. For the price, I cant see anyone rivaling this glove. Wristwrap is elastic for a tight hold and the velcro is the STRONGEST we have ever ran into. Padding has a tough molded foam & gel pad, great for bags and mitt work. These gloves may be used for sparring, but after they broke in, some of my guys didnt enjoy "Hard" sparring on the receiving end. So I strictly sell these as bag/mitt gloves. Ventitlation is good with the mesh palm. This is my best selling glove. More people with this glove than any other at my gym. Last note, The 12 oz glove should be for small hands & females. I am an average sized person 5'10"/175 and the 12 oz was a little snug, and where the 16's were just right. (I dont have big hands!) Just a note on size before ordering.  

The Leather, construction, and padding are top notch and are meant for sparring. The wristwrap system with its 2 straps gives you great wrist support. The padding is awesome with most people swooning when they put there hands in them for the first time. This glove IMHO is for sparring only. Not for bags and mitts. One of my fighters has used this glove for over 1.5 years and its held up to countless hours/rounds of sparring.

HONESTLY ITS 4.5/5 stars because it lacks ventilation so it takes longer to dry.   

This glove is like some from Revgear, Ringside, and CSI. Leather, construction, and padding are top notch and are meant for sparring. The Revgear version of this glove uses gel, while R2C uses Injected Molded Foam. Other than that and colors, its virtually the same glove. IMHO The padding is NOT meant for bag work or mitts. Just the wristwrap and cover sleeve alone should tell you that it is a sparring glove... so you dont get cuts and scrapes from the velcro when covering.
4/5 stars because it lacks ventilation so it takes longer to dry. Also, you usually need a trainer around to help you put on the second glove because of the cover sleeve system.

needs some time to break in before you start hitting people. The gloves use the same leather and construction you expect from Ring to Cage. We found our fighters on the receiving end of punches when they are brand new, not happy campers. After breaking them in on mitts and bags, they are good to go. Don't get me wrong, most gloves need to be broken in. These are a must. Since it is a Muay Thai glove, the wrists flex, wrist cuff is shorter than a regular boxing glove, and the finger/fist area opens easier than usual. Why? So you can clinch the head! These are a must for Muay Thai student starting sparring. No suggested for bag work since there really isnt a great wrist support system on any true MT glove that I have seen.  

Ring to Cage make some decent gloves. These have a lot of features and decent padding for the price. Problem is, the area where your fingers go is very short. None of my adult men/women and adult sized teens could use these gloves for that reason. I believe they should be marketed as an in between glove from kids sizes to adult sizes. For the price and the right customer, these gloves are a steal.   

Really nothing bad to say about the glove. From the moment you put your hand in it, you swoon. It feels great. Ventilation is good, the wider than normal underside of the wrist wrap gives you more support, and leather seems to be good. Padding is good for sparring, so that is what I mark them at my gym.

4.5 out of 5 stars only because of the lack of time on the market. Gloves we bought have only been in use 3 months. Longevity could make this 5 out of 5 stars.  

Ring to Cage made a winner with this glove. My fighters and athletes put these through the ringer when it comes to testing these gloves. 3 pairs with no problems after 1 to 1.5 years. Leather & seams are clean, padding is thick & dense taking up a lot of shock, plus the wrist wrap with D-Ring makes for a secure wrist. 4 out of 5 stars because there literally is no ventilation. Takes a little longer to dry out.

Last Note: These gloves are not for sparring. Gloves are for bags, mitts, and training only. The "D-ring" and padding are too hard for sparring (IMHO)  

the picture is not the correct color scheme I received. The "WHITE STRIPE" down the middle of the glove is not there. The word "RIVAL" is in white & orange. Otherwise, great padding for sparring, awesome wrist support, and soft leather. Can't beat these gloves.
