This \u003cstrong\u003eEsprit Boxe\u003c\/strong\u003e model is built to serve both ends of the exercise: giving the boxer a \u003cstrong\u003eclean target\u003c\/strong\u003e and an \u003cstrong\u003ehonest feedback on impact\u003c\/strong\u003e, and protecting the \u003cstrong\u003ewrists, elbows and shoulders\u003c\/strong\u003e of whoever is holding.

Leather takes the thousands of impacts of a season without cracking or losing its shape, which makes it the material for mitts held several times a week.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA plain striking face\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe impact face is \u003cstrong\u003eentirely black, with no printed target\u003c\/strong\u003e. That is the classic format for coaching work: the boxer reads the \u003cstrong\u003eposition of the mitt\u003c\/strong\u003e rather than a drawn marker, which matches the real conditions of a bout. If you would rather have an aiming point to correct the alignment of the fist, the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/gold-focus-mitts\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Gold Edition focus mitts\"\u003eGold Edition\u003c\/a\u003e carries a round central target, on the same build.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHigh density padding and shock absorption\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside sits a \u003cstrong\u003ehigh density moulding\u003c\/strong\u003e that delivers \u003cstrong\u003estrong shock absorption\u003c\/strong\u003e. The wave of the punch is damped before it reaches the coach's hand and joint: fewer vibrations, less fatigue by the end of the session, and \u003cstrong\u003ehonest feedback\u003c\/strong\u003e for the boxer, who genuinely feels the quality of the impact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eErgonomic gusset and hand hold\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003egusset follows the shape of the hand\u003c\/strong\u003e for a \u003cstrong\u003ecomfortable, stable grip\u003c\/strong\u003e. The hand closes naturally on the target, without clenching, which lets you hold a full round without losing precision. At the back, an \u003cstrong\u003eadjustable tightening strap\u003c\/strong\u003e pulls the mitt against the hand: the target does not move on impact, even through fast combinations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMesh lining: comfort over time\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003emesh lining\u003c\/strong\u003e moves sweat away inside the mitt.
