    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...

    I used a pair of RS2V sparring gloves. Great quality, nice soft leather, compact, good knuckles protetcion and also my punches sounded pretty solid (not like pillows). To me rival gloves are expensive (plus shipping to Chile) but worth it.

    They're decent. I've used their mid-range and low end stuff. I'm on my 2nd or 3rd pair of RB2 bag gloves. They are very durable and last a long time. The mid-range and high end stuff is nice. Low end stuff is garbage - as with any brand really. But don't make the mistake I made, assuming that a good brand's low end stuff is gonna be any better than any other low end stuff. Garbage is garbage regardless of brand.
