Specifications
Suitable for
- Boxing
- Kickboxing
For training and sparring in kickboxing's contact disciplines, not point fighting. RDX sells it in its Sparring collection, with a 5-layer foam system, and you can put it on without help. Its hook-and-loop closure matches WAKO's closure rule: kickboxing gloves fasten at the wrist with self-adhesive strips, and laced gloves are not allowed (WAKO Rules 2022, Art. 2.3.1.4). But RDX does not describe it as a WAKO-approved or WAKO-labelled competition glove.
- Kung Fu (Sanda)
For Sanda training and sparring. RDX sells it in its Sparring collection, with a 5-layer foam system and a hook-and-loop closure you can fasten without help. It comes in 8oz and 10oz, the two BCCMA Light Sanda glove weights: 8oz under 65kg and for women, 10oz for 65kg and over (Light Sanda rules 2024, Rule 11). Organisers may supply gloves, so check before you buy for a bout.
Our verdict
A sparring glove with five layers of foam, from RDX's dedicated Sparring collection rather than its training range. It suits beginner and intermediate boxers.
RDX sells the F4 in its Sparring collection, separate from its Training collection. It describes a 5-layer padding system it calls Membrane Grid 2, including Polygonal Fusion Foam, an EVA-LUTION sheet, gel foam and a DenZo Tron foam cylinder. The outer is synthetic leather, with a hook-and-loop strap.
RDX doesn't name an experience level for it. We suggest it for beginner and intermediate boxers because it is a budget sparring glove rather than a premium one: that is our judgement, not an RDX claim.
Beginner and intermediate boxers who need a glove made for sparring, not just a general training glove.
You want genuine leather, or you're an experienced boxer looking for a higher-end sparring glove.
Pros
- Sold in RDX's dedicated Sparring collection, not a training glove repositioned for sparring
- A 5-layer foam padding system, as RDX describes it
- Hook-and-loop strap, so you can put it on without help
Cons
- Synthetic leather outer, not genuine leather
Why we rated it this way
Protection (4): RDX describes a 5-layer foam system, more padding than its own basic training gloves have. That is RDX's description, not a lab result.
Comfort (3): RDX gives a hook-and-loop closure and no other comfort or fit detail, which is the normal level for a sparring glove.
Materials & Construction (3): RDX states a synthetic leather outer and a hook-and-loop closure: the normal build for sparring gloves.
Value (3): A budget price for a synthetic outer, RDX's multi-layer foam and a hook-and-loop strap, which is what gloves at this price normally offer.
Sources
- Manufacturer — RDX's own Sparring collection listing (distinct from its Training collection).
- Authorised retailer — A matching RDX listing, but RDX's Amazon UK listings do not expose model-level identity in the title or bullet points, so it is not treated as a confirmed match for this exact model.
