It is cut from the same super-resistant microfibre Rival uses across its sparring range - a shell that shrugs off scuffs, wipes clean and keeps its shape through hundreds of sessions - and it is shaped for a snug, natural fit straight out of the box, with no long break-in period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat sets the Impulse apart from the rest of the Rival sparring line is the padding. Instead of stacked foam sheets, the RS80V uses a low-density, high-resistance moulded foam block that spreads impact across the whole striking surface. The result is a distinctly different feel - soft on your partner, stable on your hand - that suits everyone from first-time sparrers to experienced amateurs. Rival's angled hook-and-loop Ergo Strap pulls the cuff snug with minimal wrist movement, and an ultra-breathable mesh panel through the palm helps the glove dry out between sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow-density, high-resistance moulded foam padding - sparring-safe impact spread with a unique feel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuper-resistant microfibre shell - durable, easy to wipe down, holds its finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAngled hook-and-loop Ergo Strap System - secure wrist support, minimal movement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eErgonomic hand shape - snug fit with little break-in required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUltra-breathable mesh palm - faster drying, less odour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuits beginners through to advanced boxers for sparring, pads and bag work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in Aqua, Navy and White\/Orange - 12oz, 14oz and 16oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\" cellspacing=\"1\" style=\"width: 100%;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 32%;\"\u003eMODEL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 68%;\"\u003eRival RS80V Impulse Sparring Gloves\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 32%;\"\u003eUSE\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 68%;\"\u003eSparring (also suits pad and bag work)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 32%;\"\u003eSIZES\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 68%;\"\u003e12oz, 14oz, 16oz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 32%;\"\u003eCOLOURS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 68%;\"\u003eAqua, Navy, White\/Orange\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 32%;\"\u003eOUTER MATERIAL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 68%;\"\u003eSuper-resistant microfibre\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 32%;\"\u003ePADDING\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 68%;\"\u003eLow-density, high-resistance moulded foam\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 32%;\"\u003eCLOSURE\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 68%;\"\u003eAngled hook-and-loop Ergo Strap System\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 32%;\"\u003ePALM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 68%;\"\u003eUltra-breathable mesh panel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 32%;\"\u003eWEIGHT (PAIR, APPROX.)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 68%;\"\u003e12oz 0.75kg \/ 14oz 0.85kg \/ 16oz 1.0kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich Size Should I Choose?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor sparring, most gyms set a minimum glove weight to protect both fighters. As a general guide, 16oz suits fighters over 75kg and is the standard sparring weight in most Australian gyms; 14oz suits 60-75kg; 12oz suits lighter athletes and juniors, or pad and bag sessions where you want a faster glove. If your coach or gym has a rule, follow it - when in doubt, go heavier for sparring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis product is covered by a 3-month warranty against manufacturing defects - it does not cover wear and tear from normal training use, including impact wear on the striking surface.

The RS11V uses thicker layered foam and the dual-angle V-Strap and sits at the top of the range; the RS80V uses a single moulded foam block and a single angled strap, giving a lighter, more direct feel at a lower price. For most club boxers the RS80V is more than enough glove.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre these gloves suitable for beginners?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes - the Impulse is one of Rival's most versatile gloves. The moulded padding is forgiving for your sparring partner, the fit works straight out of the box, and it holds up well as you progress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I look after them?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWipe the outside down after training, open the strap and let them air dry fully - never in direct sun or a hot car.
