    Has anyone here tried Rival gear?

    Their stuff looks really nice and isn't too expensive, but what about quality?, in specific bag and sparring gloves.
    I know many pro's use rival: Gamboa, Beterbiev, Pascal, Lomachenko, Jones Jr, etc...

    Rival is solid. Skip their cheapest stuff and the most exotic, just go with their bread and butter lines. A lot of the guys in my old gym used Rival and any time I had to borrow, the fit on the headgear and gloves was great and they were always in good shape (in other words, they help up well).
    Their speed bags are one of my favorites, right behind Cleto.

    Forget the celeb names as it's a poor indicator or which brands are good or not. For instance, the Grant gloves you buy from the company are sloppily made, but the ones pros get custom made for them are well done.
