Sparring: protecting your partner is just as important as your own progression. RDX sparring gloves combine soft, well-distributed padding to absorb impact on the receiving side without sacrificing punch feel. Essential from 2 sparring sessions per week. Swiss shipping via DPD, 2 to 3 working days.

RDXSports.ch is the official RDX Sports store for Switzerland. Authentic models, Swiss warranty, support in EN/FR/DE.

Which sparring gloves for which level?

  • Occasional sparring / amateur club → F4 Sparring Hook & Loop — accessible padding, 4 colours, the right first choice.
  • Regular sparring (2–3x/week) → Aura Plus T-17 — T-17 padding system, excellent value.
  • Intensive sparring / competitor → L2 Mark Pro Sparring or L1 Mark Pro — genuine leather, multi-density foam, high-end.
  • Pro-style lace-up → APEX Lace-up — maximum wrist support, like in professional competition.
  • APEX velcro → APEX Hook & Loop — same quality, quick closure.

What weight for sparring?

Golden rule: heavier than your training gloves. The goal is not to hit harder but to better distribute the impact to protect your partner.

14 oz
Standard for under 75 kg. The minimum in most Swiss clubs.
16 oz
Universal sparring standard. 75 to 90 kg, or all builds in clubs requiring maximum safety.
18 oz
Over 90 kg, or heavy sparring / heavyweight.

Many Swiss clubs require a minimum of 16oz in sparring regardless of build. Check with your coach before buying.

Frequently asked questions

Concrete difference between sparring and training gloves?
The padding. Sparring gloves have softer, better-distributed foam on the striking surface. For the puncher the feel is comparable; for the receiver the difference is significant over time.
Lace-up or velcro for sparring?
Velcro dominant in sparring: quick between rounds, adjustable alone. Lace-up = more precise wrist support, preferred by pros, requires a partner to close properly.
My club requires 16oz, I weigh 70 kg. Is it useful?
Yes. 16oz is not to protect you more but to better protect your partner. More foam = better-distributed impact = less KO/cut/concussion risk. A safety rule, not a build question.
Do I need a dedicated pair if I already have training gloves?
From 2 sparrings/week, a dedicated pair pays off quickly: longer lifespan, better partner protection, training gloves not saturated with sparring sweat.
How long do sparring gloves last?
With hand wraps and drying between sessions: 12 to 24 months for 2–3x/week use. The soft foam wears faster than training gloves — that is inherent to the function.
