Rank #4 in Best MMA Gloves: 9 Ranked, and Three Listings That Contradict Themselves
RDX T6 MMA Sparring Gloves, Maya Hide Leather
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
This is the RDX MMA Sparring Gloves, the fourth pick in our guide, listed at £29.99 with a 4.2 rating from 1,557 customer ratings and shown in size S and black. The page argues with itself on two points a buyer can see. The title says the gloves are "for Adults", but the first bullet says "SMALL AND MEDIUM SIZES ARE RECOMMENDED FOR UPTO 14 YEARS OF AGE" and the Age Range field lists "Kid, Adolescent, Adult" — so the same listing sells them to adults and to under-14s without saying which size is which. That first bullet describes "MAYA HIDE LEATHER", while the Material Type field says "Leather", and nothing on the page explains the difference. The only weight given is 300 g in the Item Weight field, with no bullet to confirm or explain it.
What does hold together: 69 of the 100 ratings in the listing's own histogram are 5-star and 10 are 1-star, which fits a 4.2 average; the closure is "Hook and Loop" in the spec field and "EXTRA LONG QUICK EZ HOOK AND LOOP" in the fourth bullet; and the gloves rank 4,138 in Sports & Outdoors and 8 in Training Gloves. Everything here comes from the Amazon listing and the reviews on it, not from any testing of our own.
How those 1,557 ratings break down

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Gloves don't restrict opening the palm, great for wrestling. The wrist strap has 3 Velcro points and feels very supportive for this type of gloves. Padding is in between bag and sparring gloves. Has some protection for the back of the wrist.I found pinky finger loop being placed a little awkward, pulling it to the side. Also some Velcro stitching doesn't feel very robust.”
Verified purchase“Good padding and durable. very lightweight so didn't affect my performance. Easy to put on. Would buy again. Good value”

Questions people ask
How much are the RDX MMA Sparring Gloves?
The listing prices them at £29.99. That is the only price on the page.
What do they weigh?
300 g, from the Item Weight field. No bullet gives a weight, so there is nothing else on the listing to check that figure against.
What are they made of?
The first bullet says Maya Hide Leather and the Material Type field says Leather. The listing does not say whether those are two descriptions of the same material.
Who are they for?
The title says "for Adults"; the Age Range field says Kid, Adolescent and Adult; the first bullet says small and medium sizes are recommended for up to 14 years of age. Size S is the size shown on the page.
Are they approved for competition?
The second bullet says they are approved by SMMAF in terms of quality and protection standards. No other approval is claimed anywhere on the listing.
Is there a warranty?
The Product Warranty field says "2" without giving a unit, so the listing does not spell out whether that means two years or something else.
