Hayabusa mitts PTS3 Punching mitts

The Punching mitts Hayabusa PTS3 are the training punching mitts for coaches and sparring partners who want the best - pear-shaped, lightweight, and made from sturdy latex foam for optimal protection during every combination.

The pear shape was chosen deliberately - it helps prevent the wrist from being accidentally hit or injured by unwanted rotation when a strike misses. Available in multiple colors. Supplied as a pair.

Latex foam and reinforced back - sturdy protection

The padding made from sturdy latex foam optimally absorbs the impact of punches. The reinforced back prevents the pad from breaking during intensive use and helps it retain its shape - even after many training sessions. The hook-and-loop wrist strap is easy to tighten for a secure, stable fit.

Mesh ventilation - cool and fresh

The temperature-regulating mesh material vents heat and keeps your hands cool during intensive training sessions. The non-absorbent material does not absorb sweat - the pads stay fresh and clean. Suitable for boxing, kickboxing, karate, krav maga, and self-defense training. Compact size, easy to take with you.

Specific features

+ Pre-curved ergonomic design

The pre-curved ergonomic design follows the natural curve of the hand, allowing the hand pad to sit comfortably in the palm and reducing strain on the wrist when catching punches.
This provides a more stable grip and less fatigue during long training sessions.
+ Latex foam padding with reinforced backing

The padding made of firm latex foam effectively absorbs impacts and provides optimal hand protection. The reinforced back prevents the pad from bending or breaking during hard combinations, preserving its shape.
+ Mesh material – non-absorbent and temperature-regulating

The non-absorbent mesh material does not absorb sweat – the pads stay fresh, clean, and odor-free. The temperature-regulating ventilation keeps your hands cool during intense training sessions.
+ Lightweight

A lightweight construction means less fatigue during training—without compromising protection or durability. Less weight on your hands or head allows for faster movements, less muscle fatigue, and better technique during longer sessions.
Especially for boxers and kickboxers working on speed and endurance, weight is a factor that matters. Lightweight equipment lets you train harder and longer without the gear slowing you down.

Hayabusa is headquartered in Ontario (Canada) and has its global distribution centre in the heart of Las Vegas (United States).

What are the pros and cons of light or heavy punching mitts?

The weight of punching mitts is not necessarily an indication of their build quality. Some very lightweight mitts, such as Rival Airpads, are extremely durable.

Lightweight punching mitts are especially comfortable for trainers during prolonged use, but usually a little weight is desirable as well, and heavier mitts tend to be sturdier.

However, this is not necessarily the case, and it varies by brand and price range. We have weighed all the punching mitts in our range and added this information to a size chart for the relevant product! bij het betreffende product!
