After months of using the RDX MMA Hybrid Gloves, I can confidently say they’ve become my training essential. The Maya Hide leather isn’t just marketing fluff—it’s survived my roughest bag sessions and sparring rounds without a scratch. Unlike stiff gloves that need ‘breaking in,’ these felt natural from day one.

The open-palm design is a game-changer. During grappling drills, I could still grip collars effortlessly, while the Quadro Dome padding absorbed heavy strikes during Muay Thai combos. That ventilation? Lifesaver when I’m drenched in sweat during 5-round circuits.

Wrist support shocked me most. As someone with past sprains, the triple hook-and-loop straps lock everything in place—no more shaky jabs or compromised hooks. The finger loops? Genius touch. They eliminate that annoying ‘sliding around’ feeling mid-spar.

Are they perfect? Almost. After 3 months of 4x weekly use, one Velcro strip started fraying (fixed with a $2 sewing kit). But for gloves that handle everything from takedowns to pad work? Still outperforms pricier brands I’ve tried.

Pro tip: Size up if between sizes—my S/M fits snug with hand wraps. These aren’t your average bag gloves; they’re hybrid warriors for fighters who demand versatility without sacrificing protection.
