Rank #3 in Best Boxing Gloves 2026: 10 Ranked, and Why the Weights Don't Match
RDX EGO Maya Hide Sparring Gloves
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The RDX EGO sits third in our guide to boxing gloves and is described as a Maya Hide leather training glove for boxing, Muay Thai, kickboxing and MMA. The listing offers it in Red, in 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16oz, with a hook-and-loop wrist strap, S.P.P ventilation holes in the palm and thumb, and a DenZo Tron grip bar. It carries 4.6 out of 5 from 2,970 ratings, and the breakdown on the page is lopsided in the usual way: 79 five-star, 14 four-star, 4 three-star, 1 two-star and 2 one-star.
The number that does not hold together here is the count. The title sells "Boxing Gloves" for men, women and kids, and the size options run from 4oz up to 16oz, yet the Unit Count field reads "1.0 count" and the Number of Items field reads "1". Nothing in the description says whether £36.99 buys one glove or a pair — the same ambiguity our guide found running through the Item Weight fields of other gloves on the list. It is worth noting that the Size field on this particular page says 4OZ, which is a youth size, on a listing sold to adults as well. Everything below comes from the Amazon listing itself; we have not tested these gloves.
How those 2,970 ratings break down

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“I'm relatively new to boxing, so I wanted a pair of gloves that would support me as I build confidence and improve my technique. I bought these RDX gloves for sparring and one-to-one pad work with my PT, and for £37.99 I'm happily impressed.The quality is excellent for the price point. The Maya Hide leather has a durable yet supple feel, and the overall construction feels solid and well put together. My PT also commented on how good they are. The padding offers great protection, absorbing impact well while still allowing me to feel connected to my punches. Just as importantly, the wrist support is superb - secure and stable, giving me the confidence to punch with power.My hand circumference is 23cm, and I use RDX Gel Boxing Hand Wraps inner gloves underneath for added protection. I find the fit is spot on: snug without being uncomfortable.For where I am in my boxing journey, these gloves are perfect. High quality, comfortable, protective, and great value for money. I'd happily recommend them to anyone looking for a dependable pair of gloves.”
Verified purchase“Finally gave up my RDX MMA gloves as heavy bag sessions upto 50 mins, i think the sizing is maybe too big, but otherwise realy loving these, used with RDX liner gloves - but may buy RDX gel liner gloves”

Questions people ask
What size are the RDX EGO boxing gloves?
The Size field on the page says 4OZ, in Red. The title also lists 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16oz, so the size shown is one option among several rather than the only one sold.
Does the price buy a pair or a single glove?
The listing never says in words. It lists "Unit Count: 1.0 count" and "Number of Items: 1", while the title calls them Boxing Gloves for men, women and kids. Taken literally, those two fields point to one item, not two.
How is the RDX EGO rated by buyers?
4.6 out of 5 from 2,970 ratings. The breakdown shown on the listing runs 79 five-star, 14 four-star, 4 three-star, 1 two-star and 2 one-star.
What are the gloves made of?
The bullets say Maya Hide leather, with Polygonal Fusion Foam, EVA foam padding, Spongy Blacktop fabric, a calibrated impact diffusion sheet, an infused dispersion sheet and SpongeX. That description is the listing's, not ours — we have not handled the gloves.
Are they meant for sparring and bag work?
The listing describes them as sparring gloves for boxing, Muay Thai, kickboxing and MMA, and says the Maya Hide leather is intended to take full force. The Glove Type field itself simply says "Training".
How much do they cost?
£36.99 on the listing. One review on the page refers to paying £37.99, so the price a buyer sees now may not be what earlier reviewers paid.
