Rival Boxing Gear mitts RPM1 Ultra Punching mitts

Good pad training is all about rhythm. The trainer sets the line, the boxer reacts, and every strike must land cleanly. The Rival RPM1 Ultra Punch handpads in red are designed for trainers who want to catch fast combinations without losing control.

The vibrant red makes the striking surfaces clearly visible as the pace increases. This helps the boxer aim precisely, while the compact shape gives the trainer room to smoothly present angles, counters, and short combinations.

Cobra-Curve for controlled impact

The distinctive Cobra-Curve striking surface is shaped to catch punches and distribute the impact. Its curved design helps limit the rebound effect toward the trainer's elbows and shoulders. This allows you to stay focused and coach for longer during intensive pad sessions.

A lightweight pad that feels sturdy

The RPM1 Ultra is handmade from Rival's patented microfiber. This material combines a low weight with a sturdy construction that retains its shape during repeated use. Measuring 21 x 17 x 5 cm, the pads remain compact and agile.

Secure around the hand during fast combinations

The wide hand opening and stabilizing Hook & Loop fastening strap provide a secure fit. This keeps the pads stable when individual punches transition into fast combinations or when the power increases during the round.

  • Cobra-Curve striking surface for catching and distributing impact
  • Compact size of 21 x 17 x 5 cm
  • Weight of 598 grams per pair
  • Handmade from patented microfiber
  • Stabilizing Hook & Loop fastening strap

The red RPM1 Ultra is made for the trainer who wants to provide clear direction and finish every combination cleanly. Order the handpads online or come and purchase them at our showroom in Waddinxveen.

Specific features

  • + Indestructible Super Rich Microfibre

    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 intense daily training without losing its shape, color, or structure.

    The material combines two properties that are normally difficult to reconcile: extremely strong and lightweight. Whereas traditional leather is heavier and stiffer, this microfibre offers a rich, premium look with a softness that feels comfortable right away - 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 the impact optimally across the striking surface.

  • + 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 overloaded 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 all the 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 a difference during long training sessions.

  • + Available immediately from Fight2Win - all-inclusive price

    Winning gloves have waiting lists of more than a year. Fight2Win is one of the few stores in Europe with genuine stock - buy directly in 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 martial arts world, with a focus 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.

Products

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

Punching mitts, also known as  focus pads , are  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 opinion, 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 to practise both punches and kicks.

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

Kicking shields are the really large cushions for punching and kicking. They are ideal for  beginners and children who, frankly, cannot yet aim very well. They are also very suitable for advanced practitioners, as these pads allow them to practise their technique at  full power .

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

The Rival RPM1 Ultra Punching mitts are designed for advanced and professional trainers who work with boxers giving 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 optimal protection for the trainer.

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 the pads stay 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.
