Our verdict
A budget glove genuinely built for sparring rather than a training glove pressed into that role, backed by RDX's own dedicated Sparring collection positioning.
RDX lists this model in a distinct Sparring collection, separate from its Training collection, with a manufacturer-described 5-layer foam system. Experience-level suitability (beginner/intermediate) is our own editorial judgement based on its budget positioning relative to the premium sparring gloves in this catalogue, not a specific manufacturer claim.
Beginner-to-intermediate boxers who specifically need a budget sparring glove, not just a general training glove.
Buyers wanting genuine leather construction, or experienced sparring partners wanting a premium-tier glove.
Pros
- Purpose-built for sparring via RDX's own dedicated Sparring collection, not a training glove repositioned for the role
- 5-layer padding system named and described by the manufacturer
- Budget price point for a sparring-specific glove
Cons
- Synthetic leather, not genuine leather
- No independently-verified (lab or hands-on) durability data
Why we rated it this way
Protection (4): based on the manufacturer-described 5-layer foam system, which is a genuinely richer construction than RDX's own basic training line - not independently lab-tested. Comfort (3): limited comfort-specific evidence beyond the closure type; rated conservatively. Durability (3): synthetic leather at a budget price point moderates confidence; RDX's own 'extremely durable' marketing language was not used as evidence. Value (4): lowest price of any sparring-capable glove in this catalogue, with genuine sparring-specific positioning.
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.
