Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between grappling gloves and MMA sparring gloves?

Grappling gloves like the Aura Plus T-17 use an open-palm, open-finger design with a slim knuckle pad, so the hands stay free to grip, clinch and work submissions. Heavier MMA sparring gloves add more knuckle padding for striking volume, at the cost of dexterity. The T-17 is built for training and sparring where grips matter as much as strikes.

What size should I choose?

These gloves come in S, M, L and XL. Measure around the widest part of your palm, excluding the thumb, and check that measurement against RDX's size guide for this model. A snug fit matters on grappling gloves — a loose glove shifts during scrambles and submission attempts.

What are the Aura Plus T-17 gloves made of?

The shell is Kalix Skin Maya Hide™ leather. Protection comes from 'IMF' technology moulded foam layered with Max-Shock™ Equilibrium foam, and the inner lining is REACH-compliant Dazzle Fabric that wicks sweat away from the hand. The wrist is secured with a Quick-EZ hook and loop closure.

What training are these suited to?

MMA training and sparring, grappling and submission wrestling, clinch work, and bag or pad rounds. For any sanctioned competition, check your promotion's or governing body's approved equipment list first — approved glove specifications vary between organisations.
