The Rival RPM3 Air Punch Mitts 2.0 are handcrafted boxing pads built for coaches and trainers who need serious hand protection without sacrificing feel. Rival's built-in Air Cushion System sets these mitts apart from standard foam-only pads, absorbing and dispersing impact before it reaches your hand. Whether you're holding pads for a hard-hitting beginner or a seasoned amateur, the RPM3 delivers the durability and comfort that Rival's boxing equipment is known for.
Construction & Materials
The RPM3 Air Punch Mitts 2.0 are constructed from super rich, super light microfibre PU — a material that resists surface wear while keeping the overall weight of the mitt down. Inside, 2.5 inches of thick inner foam padding works alongside Rival's proprietary Air Cushion System to absorb and redistribute punch impact, significantly reducing the strain on wrists and knuckles over long pad sessions. An inner catcher's mitt grip keeps the pad stable in hand, while breathable mesh lining manages heat and moisture build-up during training.
Who Is This For?
The RPM3 Air Punch Mitts 2.0 suit boxing coaches, personal trainers, and experienced corner men who hold pads regularly and need reliable hand protection. The air cushion technology makes them particularly well-suited to coaches working with heavy-handed fighters, where standard boxing pads begin to break down or cause hand fatigue. They work for club-level training, one-to-one coaching sessions, and fitness boxing classes alike. If you hold pads for multiple athletes in a single session, the ergonomic grip and breathable lining make a noticeable difference across the rounds.
Product questions
Who makes Rival boxing gear?
Rival is a Canadian boxing equipment brand recognised for producing high-quality gloves, pads, and training gear used at amateur and professional level. Their products are handcrafted with a focus on materials quality and technical construction. Rival supplies equipment to clubs and fighters worldwide, including across the UK.
What makes the Rival RPM3 different from standard boxing pads?
The RPM3 Air Punch Mitts 2.0 feature Rival's built-in Air Cushion System, which works alongside 2.5 inches of inner foam padding to absorb and distribute punch impact. Standard pads rely solely on foam, which compresses and loses effectiveness over time. The air cushion reduces hand fatigue significantly for coaches holding pads through long or high-volume sessions.
Are the Rival RPM3 Air Punch Mitts suitable for heavy hitters?
Yes. The combination of 2.5 inches of foam padding and the proprietary Air Cushion System makes the RPM3 well-suited for absorbing power shots from hard-hitting fighters. The inner catcher's mitt grip also helps stabilise the pad on impact, reducing wrist strain for the holder.
What material are the Rival RPM3 Air Punch Mitts made from?
The outer shell is constructed from super rich microfibre PU, a synthetic material chosen for its durability, light weight, and resistance to surface cracking. The interior features breathable mesh lining to reduce heat and moisture during training.
