RDX Aura Plus T-17 Boxing Gloves – Training & Sparring | 10–16 oz | Black/Gold, Red/Black, Blue/Black

Nova-tech panel is the biggest change in a boxing glove ever. RDX's patented technique uses a combination of hand and machine stitching using their most durable skin yet — Kalix Skin. With protection at its core, these gloves focus the major padding on the knuckle area to keep shock from seeping through impacted areas. The unique patented mould holds a multi-layer compartment to offer a barrage against hard shots.

• Nova Tech — Flat Arc Radial Panel concentrates padding around the knuckle area for maximum impact distribution.

• Quick-EZ — High-quality mid-width hook-and-loop cuff with injected foam for added wrist protection.
• Cool-X — Nylon mesh traps cool air while evacuating hot moisture from the glove's interior.
• Available in 10–16 oz in Black/Gold, Red/Black, and Blue/Black.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the RDX Aura Plus T-17 gloves better than the F6 Kara?

The Aura Plus T-17 is a step up from the F6 Kara in terms of padding technology. The Nova Tech Flat Arc Radial Panel and MG-2 mould system provide more sophisticated impact management than the F6 Kara's layer system. For serious training at 3+ sessions per week, the T-17 is worth the additional investment. The F6 Kara remains the best value entry-level choice.

What weight should I choose for training vs sparring?

For bag and pad work, choose 10–14 oz depending on your weight. For sparring, choose 14–16 oz for maximum protection to both you and your training partners. If you need one pair that does everything, 14 oz is the most versatile training weight for most adult fighters.

Can I use the T-17 for Muay Thai training?

Yes — the RDX Aura Plus T-17's padding construction and wrist support are well suited to the striking demands of Muay Thai, including heavy bag rounds and Thai pad work. The hook-and-loop closure makes them easy to put on and take off between rounds.

Do these gloves require a break-in period?

Yes — all quality boxing gloves have a short break-in period as the foam compresses and conforms to your hand shape. Expect the T-17 to reach their optimal feel after 6–8 training sessions. Always use hand wraps to help maintain shape and absorb moisture during break-in.
