PU leatherMesh panelSold singly
The essentials: a black and red focus mitt in PU leather, with a white and red lightning motif and a round badge. Injection moulded padding with good shock absorption, a retaining strap, a vented mesh panel on the back of the hand and reinforced lacing around the rim. Sold singly — €19, free standard delivery.
This black and red focus mitt carries a vented mesh panel on the back of the hand, a bold lightning design and a PU leather build over injection moulding. It is ordered by the piece.
A contrasting lightning design
The black striking face is crossed by a white and red lightning motif, with a round badge in its upper section. The back combines red and black sections punctuated by star-shaped decorative eyelets. The high contrast helps the boxer read the target even when the coach is moving it quickly.
The mesh ventilation
This is the strong point of the model: a vented mesh panel is built into the back of the hand. Air moves through, sweat is carried away, and the grip stays dry through long series.
PU leather and injection moulding
The shell is PU leather, supple and resistant to the repeated friction of gloves. Inside, the injection moulding gives good shock absorption on punch work while keeping the mitt light: the coach moves the target quickly between shots without the arm loading up.
Hold and build
A retaining strap at the back keeps the mitt stable on the hand, and the rim is closed with reinforced lacing, stronger than plain stitching on an area under repeated strain.
Technical specifications
Which focus mitt to choose
Getting the most out of pad work
- Short combinations: 3 to 5 shots (jab, cross, hook) beat long, loose series.
- Locked wrist: present the mitt facing the fist and meet the impact slightly.
- Simulated counters: send a mitt back towards the boxer to make them keep their guard up and slip.
- Tighten the strap before the round: a mitt with play on the hand tires the wrist and throws the target off.
- Care: wipe after each session with a dry or lightly damp cloth, air the mesh panel and let it dry naturally.

Frequently asked questions
Is it sold singly or as a pair?
Singly: you receive one focus mitt, with free standard delivery. To work combinations with both hands, order two.
How does it differ from the red and black model?
Both are PU leather and sold by the piece. This black and red model has a vented mesh panel on the back of the hand and a lightning design. The red and black model relies instead on a white central target, useful as an aiming point. Choose according to whether you want the ventilation or the visual reference.
Is it suitable for beginners?
Yes. Buying by the piece lets you start with a single mitt, at home or working in pairs, and the mesh panel keeps the grip dry through long series. For a coach running several sessions a day, the real leather range moulds to the hand and keeps its surface longer.
What is it made of?
PU leather, a synthetic that stands up to the friction of gloves, with injection moulded padding inside and reinforced lacing around the rim. For very heavy daily use, the Esprit Boxe range in real leather moulds to the hand and keeps its surface longer.
Do you need gloves to strike it?
Yes. Pad work is done with hand wraps and boxing gloves, generally 10 to 14 oz. Striking bare-handed exposes the knuckles, even against a padded target.
How do you look after it?
Wipe the surface with a dry or lightly damp cloth after each session, air the mesh panel and let it dry at room temperature. Avoid the washing machine, soaking and direct heat.
