The Punching mitts Rival RPM1 Ultra are the top model in the Ultra series from Rival Boxing Gear—the punching mitts for trainers who demand absolutely the best. The distinctive Cobra-Curve shape is not a design choice but a functional innovation that fundamentally changes the way punches land.

Handmade from patented microfiber. Designed in Canada by Rival Boxing Gear.

Cobra-Curve shape - the innovation that defines the RPM1 Ultra

The Cobra-Curve shape of the striking surface is designed to distribute and absorb the impact of punches optimally. The curved shape reduces the rebound effect on the trainer’s elbows and shoulders—less strain during long, intensive pad work sessions. The result is a punching mitt that benefits both the trainer and the boxer.

The RPM1 Ultra is made from patented microfiber—the strongest material in the Rival punching mitts range. Ultralight yet virtually indestructible, it withstands the toughest combinations from the most powerful boxers. The sturdy construction retains its shape even after many hours of intensive training.

Specific features

  • + Indestructible Super Rich Microfiber

    Indestructible Super Rich Microfibre is the patented outer material that Rival specifically developed for its premium product line.

    It is not standard microfibre—it is a unique material developed by Rival itself that withstands the demanding conditions of intensive daily training without losing its shape, colour, or texture.

    The material combines two properties that are normally difficult to achieve together: exceptionally strong and lightweight. Whereas traditional leather is heavier and stiffer, this microfibre offers a rich, premium appearance with a supple feel that is instantly comfortable—and stays that way even after many hours of training.

  • + High-density layered foam padding – maximum shock absorption

    The punching mitts are filled with high-density layered foam padding that provides maximum absorption for powerful punches. The pre-curved, semi-parabolic shape ensures a unique fit and distributes impact optimally across the striking surface. die maximale absorptie biedt bij krachtige stoten. De voorgebogen, semi-parabolische vorm zorgt voor een unieke pasvorm en verdeelt de impact optimaal over het stootvlak.

  • + 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.

  • + Breathable mesh material on the palms

    The breathable mesh material in the palms of Rival gloves ensures optimal airflow during training. Heat and moisture are wicked away, keeping your hands cooler and preventing the gloves from developing odors as quickly.

    The mesh is durable and retains its structure even after intensive use and regular airing—a detail that makes all the difference during long training sessions.

  • + Available immediately from Fight2Win – all-inclusive price

    Winning gloves have worldwide waiting lists of more than a year. Fight2Win is one of the few stores in Europe with genuine stock—purchase directly at our showroom in Waddinxveen. Our price is completely all-in, including import duties and VAT - no surprises afterward.

Frequently Asked Questions — Punching mitts Rival RPM1 Ultra

What is the story behind Rival Boxing Gear?

Rival Boxing Gear was founded in Canada in the early 2000s and has since experienced steady growth in the world of martial arts, with an emphasis on classic boxing. The company was founded by Russ Anber, a prominent name in the boxing world.

Anber, a respected boxing trainer and coach, had an in-depth understanding of what fighters needed to improve their skills and excel in the ring. With this background and expertise, he aimed to produce high-quality equipment that would meet fighters’ needs.

What is the difference between punching mitts, focus pads, Thai pads and kicking shields?

Punching mitts, also known as focus pads called compact pads that are held by a trainer during a training session. The terms punching mitts and focus pads are used interchangeably. However, in our view, there are subtle differences between them, which is why our website distinguishes between them. Punching mitts are primarily intended for punches and punching techniques.

Thai pads, also known as kickpads or pao, are larger pads held by a trainer for practising both punches and kicks.

Punching shields are usually large, round cushions that the trainer or partner holds in front of the body. They are particularly suitable for various punching techniques, including hooks, liver shots and uppercuts.

Kicking shields are the really large cushions used for punches and kicks. They are ideal for beginners and children who, frankly, are not yet very accurate. They are also highly suitable for advanced practitioners, as these shields allow them to practise their technique with full force .

What level are the Rival RPM1 Ultra Punching mitts intended for?

The Rival RPM1 Ultra Punching mitts are designed for advanced and professional trainers working with boxers who give it their all. The high-density, multilayer foam padding provides maximum absorption of power punches, while the padded finger protection and stabilizing wrist strap offer the trainer optimal protection.

How do I maintain the Rival RPM1 Ultra Punching mitts?

Wipe the pads with a damp cloth after use and let them air-dry. The breathable mesh material and MicroFiber exterior help keep the pads naturally fresh. Do not use harsh cleaning products, and store the pads in a dry place away from direct sunlight.

What technologies are incorporated into the Rival RPM1 Ultra Punching mitts?

The Rival RPM1 Ultra Punching mitts combine ultra-durable MicroFiber material with multi-layer high-density foam padding, a perfectly sized built-in grip ball, padded finger protection, and breathable mesh material in the hand compartment. The classic "Cobra" curve provides a naturally shaped fit that can withstand thousands of rounds of punches.
