What is IBA (International Boxing Association) approval and why does it matter?

The IBA (formerly AIBA) is the international governing body for amateur boxing. IBA-approved gloves have been reviewed and certified to meet the safety and construction standards required for use in sanctioned amateur boxing competitions worldwide — including national championships, continental championships, and the Olympic Games. If you compete in IBA-affiliated events, using IBA-approved gloves is required.

What weight should I choose — 10 oz or 12 oz?

IBA competition glove weight is assigned by weight class. Lighter weight classes typically use 10 oz; heavier weight classes use 12 oz. Your event's specific rules will specify the required glove weight for your division. If in doubt, check with your national boxing federation or event organizer before purchasing.

What is Quadro Dome 5 Technology?

Quadro Dome 5 Technology is RDX's proprietary knuckle padding system that distributes impact force across five zones in the knuckle mould, reducing peak stress on any single point of contact. Combined with the additional DenzoTron sheet, it provides layered shock absorption designed to protect both the wearer's hands and the opponent during competition strikes.

Are these suitable for gym training as well as competition?

Yes — the IBA gloves are well-built for pad work, bag training, and sparring during fight preparation. However, for regular heavy bag sessions outside competition prep, a dedicated bag glove with higher oz padding is recommended to preserve the IBA-approved padding structure for competition use.
