    I was looking at upgrading my bag gloves since they are falling apart. I am interested in wrist support mostly. I have heard good things about Rival gloves so i was thinking about switching to them from my current elastic strapped everlast gloves that are falling apart.

    Which glove will offer me better wrist and hand support and protection? The Everlast Proxtex2 leather bag glove or the Rival RB1 or RB20 bag gloves?

    While we are on the topic, it seems like the big difference between the Rival RB1 and RB20's is the wrist strap. Rb1 seems to use a normal wrist strap while the rb20 uses a weird 15 decree strap system. Does anyone prefer one over the other?

    Thanks for your help in advance.

    I've got the Rival RB2's and they've held up good so far. The wrist support on the RB20s is really good, I've got a pair of their sparring gloves that have the same kind of wrist strap.

    Can't comment on the RB1's or Everlast cuz I've never used them.

    If you want wrist support, you need lace-up gloves. Velcro just doesn't cut it.
