Punching mitts Rival Fitness+ RPM7 Black-Red

Specific features

• + Padded finger guard

  A padded finger protector protects the trainer’s fingers from the cumulative impact of repeated punches on the punching mitts. Without adequate protection, fingers and joints can become strained during intensive pad work—especially with heavy or fast boxers.

  The padding absorbs shocks and distributes the force over a larger surface area, allowing the trainer to train longer and more comfortably. A detail that makes a difference in every session.

• + Rival PU patch with embossed design

  Of Rival PU embossed patch is a distinctive design element featured throughout the Rival product line—from boxing gloves and bag gloves to punching mitts. The patch is made from high-quality polyurethane and features a three-dimensional embossed logo that enhances the product’s premium appearance.

  PU is durable, retains its shape, and does not fade with intensive use or perspiration, ensuring the patch remains sharp and recognizable even after many training sessions. A subtle yet distinctive detail that makes Rival’s quality identity visible.

• + Wrist and palm support

  Punching mitts absorb hard punches session after session—and that places demands on the trainer’s wrist and palm support A good support keeps the wrist stable on impact and distributes the force across the palm, allowing the trainer to hold pads longer and more comfortably without overloading joints and tendons. Especially with heavy or fast boxers, this is not a minor detail—it is what makes the difference between being able to train for years and developing wrist problems prematurely.

  Zeker bij zware of snelle boksers is dit geen bijzaak - het is wat het verschil maakt tussen jarenlang kunnen trainen of vroegtijdig last krijgen van polsklachten.

• + Curved contact surface

  A curved striking surface fits the natural shape of a clenched fist. Instead of a flat surface, the slightly concave shape catches the punch centrally, distributing the impact more evenly and reducing recoil to the trainer’s wrist.

  The result is a more comfortable and safer experience with punching mitts—for both the trainer and the boxer. Punches land better, feel more natural, and the risk of injuries from improper impact is reduced. A detail that is standard in professional punching mitts, and one you can feel immediately in practice.

• + Ergonomic fit punching mitts

  An ergonomic fit ensures that the hand pad sits naturally in the trainer’s hand—without pinching, pressure points, or unwanted movement during pad work. The shape follows the anatomy of the hand, so the trainer spends less energy gripping and more coaching.

  During intensive sessions with heavy boxers, this makes a noticeable difference in comfort and endurance. A well-fitting hand pad reduces fatigue and helps the trainer stay sharp for longer.

• + Hook-and-loop closure

  The hook-and-loop closure is the most commonly used closure in martial arts—and for good reason. It’s quick to put on, easy to adjust, and provides a secure, reliable fit without help from someone else.

  The closure keeps the wrist stable during training and sparren, and remains just as effective after many sessions as it was on day one. Suitable for beginners and advanced athletes who value convenience without compromising support.

He began innovating, patenting, and building, permanently changing the boxing world with patented designs in gloves, punching mitts, and handwraps.
