I’ve had these for a few years and love them. I always end my bag workouts by doing a few rounds with these. Really great bag mitts.
💯
Have been waiting for these for a long time. Great as always, bro.
Thanks bro
I bought rival bag gloves after your review and they have served me well so I think give these ago thank you always great videos
Nice!
Awesome! I think I found my new bag glove. It is so difficult to find a really good, old-school, traditional bag glove like this. Other companies have it, but they have that open thumb style which I don't like. This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much!
no prob
@@csquaredboxing do you have to wear wraps with bag mitts
@@brandon-ln8jh man did u even watch the vid fam? Also, bag gloves and bag mitts are different things
@@itsgympapi3455
you mind explaining when should one use a bag glove vs mitt? I want to get something that I can use
Thanks Carlo! Great review!
No prob!
I got the Pound 4 Pound Lomachenko limited edition version of these. I didn't expect much but wow they have become my favourite bag glove and the p4p version look amazing. I use them for 4 or 5 rounds on the heavy bag before moving on to my 16 oz for shoulder conditioning. These do run very big. I have a 16oz in the rs100 and the rs11v which are snug and I have a hand circumference of 9.25 inches and weight 95kg. Mediums fits me well and are snug with wraps. I liked them so much I bought another pair as the RB5 have been sold out in the UK for ages. Many pros use these, AJ, KT etc. Great review and keep them coming:)
Thanks man
@@csquaredboxing you're welcome. Your reviews are great and very informative 👍also got some RB50s on the way based on your recommendation arriving tomorrow so hope they are as good as you say 😀
Hi, just an update on my RB5 P4P edition. I had to return these after about a months use as the stitching between the rear padding and thumb the seams have already split. The replacement are going to same way. I own loads of Rival gloves and the stitching on the synthetics, such as the Rs100, rs11v, and rs 1 2.0, are far better and have lasted ages. I'm going to check out the phenom bag mitt next instead.
@@jamesbowman8110 hey, i have the same problem. i have only used it for about 5 sessions of 20~30minutes each session, and the rear area near the opening of the gloves where you put your hands in, that part was splitting apart. any other bag mitts u have used? thanks!
@Victor hi, I used the cleto reyes mitts. But they were tight and provided no wrist support. I was tempted by the Phenom bag mitts, which look just like the Rival RB5, but haven't got them yet. My RB5 are still going, but I'm constantly checking to make sure the stitching doesn't come further apart.
The holes on top allow the foam to breath. When you apply pressure to the foam it expells all the air in it, once you remove the pressure the holes allow it to reinflate sort of speak. Since the foam is thin it is hardly noticeable but it is happening. If the wholes were not there eventually the air in the foam would sip out through the leather and there would be close to zero padding on it since it wouldn't reinflate.
my pair of these have just come today one of the best purchases I've made there great
Nice!
Been using these on a dense, hard bag and they’ve been surprisingly protective when punching at almost 100 percent(though I’m obviously being very careful when doing that).
I usually don’t go as long as you did with them. By that point I’ll have put on the thicker gloves
I got a pair of this,
If you are want to become a boxer who can KNOCK OUT the people you definitely need to get a pair for yourself!!
Here's my review on this bag mitts:
I got winning 12 oz Velcro, I trained hard, I also fought some competition before, I know there's still much I can learn,
I can throw some fast punches in sparring, but hardly TKO or KO someone even just make my opponent got counted,
until I bought this bag mitt, I use it on our gym's heavy Muay Thai bag (which over 100KGS with sands inside)
and it do corrected my punches !! Snaping/angle/pushing the punches...
if you pushing your punches on the heavy bag with this gloves you will hurts your knuckles and wrist which also ripped your skin off,
after I train hard and fixed some of my problem on the punching, Now I am able to SNAP those heavy bag with my Winning 12oz gloves,
and I can absolutely feels my punching stronger than before!! even my coach and friends aware of that!!
I have Fairtex bag gloves and title bag gloves, I can tell you this bag mitt is totally different!!
this bag mitt are the BEST bag gloves I ever had LOL
GET A PAIR IF YOU WANT TO BECOME A GOOD BOXER!!
👍🏼
@@paulcris107when goes to spar your hard working fundamental will just shows up, I think it’s not big big difference between the OZ of the gloves you choose, of course the smaller size of gloves usually let your punch harder😂
@@LFAtaiwan but I’m still intrigued as you said the glove made you to get get power and knockouts and someone new to boxing wanted to know why
I've had these, in black, for several months now and like them a lot. I use gel gloved wraps underneath. I really like how you can feel the correct knuckles connecting with the bag
No doubt
I've been using these mitts for 3 years, they are the best bag gloves I've ever had
🥊👍🏼
Great review Carlo.
I think the strap was made that way as they are designed to use wraps. These are updates to the old Everlast (4308) used by pros back in the day who always trained with wraps.
Check out the Necalli bag gloves with Velcro. They are old school and I have been really enjoying them.
Thanks man
Hey, how much do your Necalli bag gloves weigh?
@@user-nm1hc2my6w They might be 2ozs but not sure as I haven't weighed them. They are extremely high quality and are holding up very well.
@@maybebabyny thanks for the reply actually went with them. Emailed them before ordering about the weight. They’re sub 9oz. which is what I wanted. “Each glove, of the Necalli Professional Heavy Bag Gloves w/ Velcro, weighs approx 8.5 oz (+/- .3)”
@@user-nm1hc2my6w yeah I have no idea about weight but they are the best old school bag gloves I own with the Rivals coming in second.I only use the guanteletas style glove with wraps for heavy bag and mitt training and have for 30 years . Anytime I have switched to the larger sparring style gloves for bag work I feel as though it makes my technique suffer.
Let me know how you like them. The only thing I don't love is the open thumb. They sell a Gil version with closed thumb but I prefer the stitch design on the Necalli as it better concentrates the padding.
love these. can you try and check out fairtex bag mitts one day?
For sure
WTF, out of stock for the medium because of you; LOL. Excellent review.
Lmao sorry bro
Could you also do a review of the Paffen Sport heritage mitts? Those look very interesting.
Ill check them our
Wow, those look crazy. Just looked them up. That's so weird lol
You should maybe show you hitting the heavy/speed bag or mitts in the video also. But understandable still. Good review still 👍
Hey Carlos, between those bag mitts, your favorite standard bag gloves, and sparring gloves, which would you prefer to use for bag/pad work?
Hi, Carlo how would you compare these to the Winnings (sb-2000)? I've watched your review on the SB-2000 and plan to get them, are they slightly more padded than the RB5s?
These are miles better than the Winning. The Necalli bag gloves with Velcro are also way higher quality than the Winning.
I’ve just ordered the RB50’s. Do you think the RB5 would be a good bag mitt to have as well? Do you still use these? Also Thanks for the reviews they are very helpful since we can’t usually get our hands on these things before purchasing
Yeah they’re both good just depends on the style you prefer and the feel you like
How have these gloves being holding up
What’s advantage of these to 10z bag gloves ?
can you please review the punch equipment bag glove 👀?
Would you recommend these or the rb3 Mexican bag gloves?
Mitts are closer to a bare knuckle experience. If you already have regular bag gloves, you might want these mitts for the different feel and training. If you have no gloves, then I think the RB3s are better so you have a pair with some protection.
@@leoap87 thanks 🙏
My G
Ayyy
That’s my guy right here
Finally caught these in-stock. 😅
Nice
Hey Carlo I have a 8.3” hand circumference, would you recommend I get a size small for a snug fit or a size medium? Because I do weigh about 150 pounds but my hands are relatively small and so is my wrist
I recommend you S size i'm 8.3" too
Can you review the Cleto Reyes classic mitts please
I’ll check them out
Can you review title classes leather 2.0 training gloves?
I’ll check them out
Hello man, do u know sth about 1910 sparring gloves? Should i buy them for 90€ (sale) and what u think maybe i should get the powerlocks between those 2
Not a fan of the 1910 line of gloves
@@csquaredboxing brother, still , do you think its good ideea to buy them for 80Euros or i should just take powerlocks which are 70euros , i dont really know, ive only had protex3 and im not really happy cuz i couldnt really open the hand to block shots. Really important for me your opinion
One more thing, if my closed fist is 11.5 inches, which size RB5's should I go for ?
Large
I have these in black. I'm going to concentrate when hitting a bag hard. The last time I wore mitts l suffered an ulnar wrist fracture.
👍🏼🥊
Did the wrap make a difference?
would you review those phenom bag mitts ?
Yes hopefully soon
@@csquaredboxing nice
Can they be used for speed bag work?
I just ordered the RB5s in XL. Worried I ordered them too big. Not sure on my fist size, but I'm a pretty average limbed 6'3 200lbs dude
👍🏼🥊
Does it need a size larger for wearing handwraps in the bag mitt?
Going by their individual sizing chart, these run bigger than average. The medium size is about equivalent with other gloves in large. RB5 Medium = max 9.75" (25 cm) vs RB10 Large max 9.5" (24 cm).
@@leoap87 Nice, appreciate the helpful info. Thanks man
@@leoap87 They are designed to use with wraps. Thats why when he put them on without wraps the velcro overlapped.
Not those one , they size really large
These are soooo hard to find in the UK. Rival seem to have there full range on sale here... except this one item!
I just found some “in stock” at a tiny online retailer I never heard of before, and took a chance ordering...
I got mine at the Rival UK site several months back. Just checked and they're out of stock now.
@@robjarvis6574 yep. Have been out of stock pretty much everywhere for weeks.
Sorry to hear that man
Try forzasports on ebay
@@valegendre thanks for the suggestion... but I just scrolled through their entire eBay shop, and they don’t have them.
Nobody on eBay has them.
Been trying to get a pair of these for months now. They're sold out everywhere ☹️.
Carlo. Don't you think that rival fight gloves do more damage compared with other fight gloves?
Bro i ordered them and the left glove has different stitching than the right one. Left one has a bigger grip bar and the mesh is also badly stitched way too low
What are the thickest most protective bag mitts?
probably cleto reyes's
You think these would be good for mitt work.
Recently I've seen regis prograis and olyksander usyk using these. If they're using hand wrapping, it's deceiving. It's a shame they're made in Pakistan as I'm not too far a drive to Montreal and had fought against amateurs with russ anber in the corner. Mid 2000s I went up against David lemieux and seeing him working the rival merch tables prior and post bout.
Yeah I remember the old days when Russ was training David and at the time they did some videos and promoting for title boxing. Prior to the rival era
These vs the winning? Regardless of price which are better
These
@@csquaredboxing how so?
This or the Phenom bm-15?
I've personally never used bag mitts. I do muay Thai these could be great for clinching during rounds on the bag. What are the benefits though to wearing a lighter thinner padded glove like these. I usually use rb10s rival for bag.
Anyone?
Better fist form and strengthening your hands and wrists. Better power transfer as you can make a tighter fist.
@@csquaredboxing thanks for the info. Didn't mean to sound pushy haha.
@@csquaredboxing I've ordered the p4p ones based on this review. Cheers pal.
@@josefgritzel7923 how are they working for you?
Somebody tell me the name of that opening theme song!
Man these haven't been stock for literally a year now it's so ridiculous.
Yup
Do you think, theres enough protection to handle big shots, on a super hard bag? i have my doubts, i think a tiny bit more padding would be nice, but only a small bit
I was tempted by the rb50's, but they offer way too much padding and bulk for me, i think the RB5's is as good as it gets for bag mitts, i would like to see a little more padding though
I think you should be good if you take it slow. I can do strong power shots with Title Speed bag mitts. Those have way less protection than these.
@@MALuis-lw5in We don't do slow here
Yes with proper alignment absolutely I've had these gloves for 3 months now and there my favorite pair of bag mitts in my collection so u can do power shots and even palm strikes
@@wicked-witch-of-the-west The purpose of these mitts are to encourage good fist/form/angle of attack and to condition your hands. If you wail on a heavy bag and don't have perfect form, you *will* hurt yourself. Same if your knuckles/wrist aren't conditioned. It's a bit like the idea of shin conditioning in muay thai: you need to work up to going all out.
Got these in black XL, still haven’t used them yet lol 😂 they run big prob should have gotten the L.
Lol
Do u need to wrap hands with them aswell?
No
@@csquaredboxing can u explain why? I mean the wrist is kinda unstable its just a small piece of cushion almost like bare knuckle
@@ruiraiz9694it’s to have better punching technique not to hit hit with full power
What size are you brother? I see you got Mediums and want a reference for your hand size in weight and height if possible. Thanks
5’8 147 lbs
Do they not fuck up your hands and knuckles if u was to punch with these I tried punching a bag I. 10 OZ and fuckin ruined my hands lol
Not mine lol
It looks like a soccer goalie Glove
In case you're interested, 'Genuine Leather' means poor quality leather. The term was developed to help marketing: ua-cam.com/video/64A1uLul7_Q/v-deo.html
👍🏼🥊
Great glove but thumb fills with sweat
The boxing gym I’m a member of won’t let anyone train in their gym with mitts, and rightly so - if you want to run the risk of hand injury/long term hand damage, use these style of mitt
Sounds like your gym has no idea what they’re talking about
Ya I wouldn't trust a gym with a policy like that. I train at a gym with belatore and glory contracted fighters, and you can see them as well as myself mixing in the use of bag mits with the heavy bag and pads.
They are a bit more advanced in that you need to have the sense to tone back the power and focus on proper technique, as you will feel improper technique with these in the form of pain or injury possibly.
Must be a toddlers gym you train at. Bag mits have been around forever and still have great use for training.
It cant protect you if you go hard, can it? Who would trust paper thin padding like dis? Never mind on a harder bag!
Wrap properly and you will have no trouble with these.
Don’t use them mate, they are rubbish and a sure way to eventually injure your hands
