Our verdict
A 7oz open-palm MMA sparring glove with a hook-and-loop wrist strap, sold directly by RDX's UK store. It suits beginners for bag work, pad work, drilling and lighter sparring.
RDX sells the F6 KARA as a 7oz MMA sparring glove with a hook-and-loop wrist strap and an open-palm design. RDX calls its outer material "Maya Hide", its own brand term, which doesn't show whether the material is genuine or synthetic leather.
At 7oz it sits at the lighter end of the sparring range in Budo Online's MMA glove buying guide, and a customer review on RDX's own product page describes the padding as hard. Parts of RDX's page seem to describe other models: it calls the glove a "shooter glove" and mentions "D-Cut gloves". So the page's finer technical claims may not apply to this glove.
Beginners who want an inexpensive first pair of MMA gloves for bag work, pad work, drilling and lighter sparring.
You spar regularly and want a glove with a stated padding specification, such as the Venum Challenger 3.0. You want a confirmed genuine-leather outer.
Pros
- A 7oz open-palm design with a hook-and-loop wrist strap, per RDX
- Two size bands, S/M and L/XL, with XS/S and M/L in the pink colourway
- Sold directly by RDX's UK store
Cons
- RDX's "Maya Hide" outer is not confirmed as genuine or synthetic leather
- A customer review on RDX's own page describes the padding as hard
- No padding detail beyond the 7oz weight
Why we rated it this way
Protection (3): A 7oz open-palm sparring glove, at the lighter end of the 7-8oz sparring range in Budo Online's MMA glove guide. A customer review on RDX's own page describes the padding as hard.
Comfort (3): RDX describes an open palm and a hook-and-loop wrist strap, the standard fit features of an MMA glove, with no lining or fit-system detail beyond them.
Materials & Construction (Not rated): The outer material isn't confirmed, so the build of this open-palm glove can't be rated.
Value (Not rated): Its outer material and padding aren't confirmed, so we can't judge what this open-palm 7oz glove offers for a budget price.
