Rival RS2V vs. RS11V

[esamuel]

Looking to invest in some new gloves, must be 16oz and solid for sparring. If you guys were to pick between the RS2V and RS11V which one would you opt for as a sparring glove?

Both are solid for sparring. Both have forgiving foam compositions. I'd opt for the RS11V though. The RS2V's velcro strap is annoying to get on and off by yourself. Also the new model of the RS11V has a new soft liner instead of the scratchy mesh lining it had previously. I'm currently using the new model RS11V and had previously owned the RS2V.

+1 for RS11V as it has better wrist support.

Go with RS11V, it is worth the extra 10 bucks

Isn't the RS11V made of synthetic leather as opposed to the real leather in the RS2V?

Yes the RS11V is synthetic.

I've used both and I preferred the RS2V.
