Feather Lite foam—lightweight yet offering maximum protection

The RPM100 features Rival's Feather Lite layered foam construction—the lightest foam in the Rival range, yet with maximum shock absorption. Less weight in the trainer's hands means less fatigue during long pad work sessions.

Rival's patented microfiber PU makes the RPM100 virtually indestructible—able to withstand the toughest combinations from the most powerful boxers.

Left/right specific—the perfect ergonomic fit

The RPM100 is individually designed for the left and right hand—a detail most punching mitts do not have. The hand compartment fits each hand perfectly, with a soft Nash lining for extra comfort during long sessions.

The pre-curved ergonomic shape optimizes pad work and keeps the hand in the perfect position. The angled hook-and-loop closure provides a stable, adjustable fit that does not shift during hard combinations. Finished with the exclusive 100-series rubber patch on the wrist.

Available exclusively at our showroom in Waddinxveen

Fight2Win is the official partner and distributor of Rival Boxing for the Benelux. The RPM100 is available directly from stock. In addition to our webshop, you can also purchase all Rival punching mitts at our showroom in Waddinxveen.

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.
+ Specific right- and left-handed punching mitts

Unlike universal punching mitts, these punching mitts are specifically designed for the right and left hand.
The anatomical design conforms more closely to the hand’s natural position, providing a better grip, greater control, and less strain on the wrist when catching punches.
+ Wrist wrap with angled hook-and-loop closure

The angled hook-and-loop closure runs diagonally across the wrist, allowing it to fit more closely to the hand’s natural position.
This ensures even pressure distribution around the wrist, more stable support on impact, and greater freedom of movement than a straight closure.
+ 100 Professional Series – metallic-colored accents

The Rival 100 Professional Series—including boxing gloves, bag gloves, punching mitts, and more—stands out not only for its performance but also for its appearance. The metallic-colored accents give every product in the line a premium, professional look that matches the level it was built for.
The metallic finish is more than aesthetics—it’s a visual statement that emphasizes the 100 Series’ position as Rival’s professional line. For boxers and trainers who want to stand out both in the ring and at the gym with equipment that radiates quality.
+ Rubber Rival 100 Series Patch

The Rival 100 Series Rubber Patch is the exclusive hallmark of the Rival 100 Series—the absolute top range of Rival Boxing Gear. The patch is made from high-quality rubber and features the Rival logo in relief, making this series’ premium positioning immediately visible.
The 100 Series includes the most advanced models produced by Rival—gloves and accessories developed for boxers who demand the very best. The rubber patch is not just a design element, but also a mark of quality: you know you’re holding a product from the exclusive top range.
+ 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.

Rival - Designed in Canada

In 2003, Russ Anber Rival Boxing Gear founded it—not as a businessman, but as someone who had spent decades in the gym and knew exactly what was lacking in the equipment available. He began innovating, patenting, and building, permanently changing the boxing world with patented designs in gloves, punching mitts, and handwraps.

“My gift was the ability to coach, break things down, analyze and make people understand how things work.” — Russ Anber

Feather Lite

For as many products as possible, Rival strives to apply the principles of Feather Lite: providing our customers with maximum performance and protection combined with the lowest possible material weight.

We look for ways to reduce the size and weight of our equipment to ensure efficiency. If we can find a lighter, thinner material that offers the same performance and durability as a heavier or more traditional material such as leather, we use it. Innovation and attention to detail— that’s the Rival way!

The (Short) History of Rival Boxing Gear

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 .
