Rival RHG2 Hybrid – Elite Protection and Unobstructed Vision

The Rival RHG2 Hybrid is a unique combination of a compact training headgear and the lightness of a competition model. The result is a hybrid design that offers maximum safety without compromise. Crafted from premium cowhide leather, it guarantees high resistance to impact and wear during the most intense training sessions.

This headgear stands out with its ultra-lightweight and sleek construction, ensuring mobility is never hindered and allowing for full focus on performance. The inner microfiber lining is soft to the touch, effectively wicking away moisture to keep your head dry. Thanks to the specially downsized cheek protectors, the headgear does not restrict peripheral vision, allowing you to react faster to your opponent's attacks.

Protection is provided by a high-density foam layer over 25 mm thick, designed for efficient shock absorption. The dual rear hook-and-loop strap system ensures the headgear sits perfectly on the head and remains stable even during heavy impacts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What exactly does "Hybrid" mean for this headgear?

It means the headgear offers the cheek protection typical of training helmets while maintaining the slim profile and lightness of competition models. It is the ideal choice for sparring where you need safety but don't want to lose visibility.

How do I properly care for genuine leather headgear?

After training, wipe it down with a damp cloth to remove sweat. Let it air dry in a well-ventilated area, but never place it directly on a radiator or in direct sunlight. Leather can harden and crack if exposed to high heat.

Why are the cheek protectors smaller than other models?

The cheek guards are engineered to protect the bones without blocking your peripheral vision. This allows you to better see punches coming from an angle (hooks and uppercuts), significantly increasing your safety during sparring.
