Founded in 1910, Everlast has been equipping gyms around the world for more than a century. These focus mitts carry its codes: a yellow central target with the Everlast lightning bolt, EverCool ventilation and clean finishing. Kit that is recognised instantly, built for precision and speed work.
The Everlast central target
The grey striking face carries a bright yellow disc at its centre, marked with the Everlast lightning bolt. The contrast is sharp: the boxer no longer aims at a surface but at a precise point, which corrects the alignment of the fist on the jab and the cross. The coach sees at a glance whether the impact was centred or off — a formidably effective teaching reference, particularly with beginners.
EverCool ventilation
Everlast's EverCool technology pairs a yellow mesh panel on the back of the hand with a breathable lining. Air moves through, sweat is carried away: across pad sessions run with several boxers, the hand stays dry and the grip does not slip.
PU leather and injection moulding
The shell is PU leather, supple and resistant to the repeated friction of gloves. Inside, the injection moulding delivers strong shock absorption while keeping the mitt light — which lets the coach move the target quickly between shots without the arm loading up.
Reinforced lacing and hold
The rim is assembled with exposed yellow lacing, stronger than plain stitching on an area under repeated strain. The gusset shaped to the hand and the hook-and-loop wrist strap give a comfortable, stable grip: the mitt stays locked to the hand on impact.
Technical specifications
Which focus mitts to choose
Getting the most out of pad work
- Aim at the yellow disc: ask the boxer to hit the centre of the target, not simply the mitt.
- 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.
- Care: wipe after each session with a dry or lightly damp cloth, air the mesh and let it dry naturally.

Frequently asked questions
Are they sold singly or as a pair?
As a pair: you receive 2 pieces, one for each hand, with free standard delivery.
What is EverCool technology?
EverCool is Everlast's ventilation system: a mesh panel on the back of the hand paired with a breathable lining. Air moves through and sweat is carried away, which keeps the hand from slipping and stops damp settling in over long sessions.
What is the yellow central target for?
It gives the boxer a precise point to aim at rather than a surface. That marker corrects the alignment of the fist on straight shots and lets the coach see immediately where the impact landed. The yellow-on-grey contrast stays readable even when the target is moving fast.
What are they made of?
PU leather, a supple 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 offers a longer working life.
Do you need gloves to strike them?
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 them?
Wipe the surface with a dry or lightly damp cloth after each session, air the EverCool mesh panel and let it dry at room temperature. Avoid the washing machine, soaking and direct heat.
